Garcia in his own Words

Seems we've been resurrecting the Dead a bit in here over the past week, no doubt in large part due to Leary's revival of Shroomery Pic's Vol. 1! 
For even more music, check out Shroomery Pics Vol. 2 + 3!
I've been on a bit of a stint myself, having seen the Jerry Garcia Band perform twice in the last month, as well as a local Dead cover called none other than Cubensis at least three times in the same period.
My friend Kremlin turned me onto this informal Garcia interview the other day. Pretty neat to hear the guy talk about his work, even tokin' up some reefer and shootin' the shit amidst many laughs...
- Jerry Garcia Interview, Raddison Hotel Room 1503, St. Paul, MN - July 10, 1981
"This is one of the only candid interview tapes of Jerry in circulation. It starts with a journalist named Greg Harrington asking some very intelligent questions about all types of topics and Jerry is very warm and generous during the interview. Later a few heads join the party and the tape keeps rolling. At one point someone sparks a jay and Jerry is inclined to smoke up with his new friends. What ensues is just hilarious as Jerry and company get progressively more stoned. This tape is a rare glimpse into the wonderful mind of Jerry Garcia. After listening to it, you will have a much better understanding of what it must have been like to be a member of the Grateful Dead, what was the process or lack of it for the band and who really is Jerry and what is his trip?"

Garcia was missing a finger?
Didn't know that... Well I'm not a Grateful Dead fan. But I think I heard that before...

When Jerry was four years old, him and his older brother were at their cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains chopping wood. Jerry would steady the wood while his brother hammered down the axe. Gettin' worked up, they tried to go faster and faster until Jerry's finger accidently got hit by the axe. His mama wrapped his hand in a towel and his pops drove him thirty miles to the nearest hospital. Apparently, Garcia hadn't looked as his finger immediatley after the accidnet, and it wasn't until the bandages came off a few weeks later that he realized he was missing two-thirds of his middle finger!

Glad you enjoyed it! Such an informal type of interview, almost like you might be hangin' out with the magic man yourself.

Hey, for uploading "The Grateful Dead - Shroomery Picks Vol. 2" for me, I'll upload this Jerry interview, circa 1967. Hopefully you don't already have it.
