re: Audiobook for 20 Hours in the car with teenage son

Hah. Not familiar with how the folk music and bluegrass scene fed into the psychedelic music scene? Jerry Garcia was a huge bluegrass fan before he was ever in the Dead. Like he travelled around to bluegrass festivals and made audio recordings. He also played banjo and performed in quite a few bluegrass bands. Bluegrass is, at the end of the day, “jam” music heavy on improv.

He’s like me, though, that he gets obsessed with a subculture or genre and then just deep dives into it.

And I did consider Carlin. I might look into what he’s covered recently. I haven’t listened to him in a while.
