Pistol Packin' Mama Sessions

Notes

"The Good Old Boys sessions at Mickey's studio were a special time for all concerned, as Garcia had a chance to produce artists he had long admired: Don Reno (banjo), Chubby Wise (fiddle), Frank Wakefield (mandolin) and David Nelson (guitar). Two [sic] days of pure bluegrass heaven for all of us, but especially for Garcia. Lotsa laughin' 'n' apickin'. It was a good ol' time" (Brown 1986, 26).

ref: "GDR: Financial: RR: Accounting Sheets 1974-1976," Grateful Dead Archive, Special Collections, University of California Santa Cruz, MS.332.Ser. 2, box 70, folder 9. This gave dates as 26-27-28, but it seems the 26th was dropped and the 29th was added as far as known recordings reveal.
