Hey Otis the redbids have been in full bloom downhere in SE Tennessee for I guess 7 days or more. Good video take care friend
Back in the day we had our ears to the rail when “Old and in the Way” came out. It seemed like a natural extension from Grateful Dead, N.R.P.S. etc. It changed my life! So glad to hear about this exhibit!
Chris Joslin is the museum director, and he is quite approachable. He is also a fabulous musician and one of the finest humans you could meet. Email sent. If you don't get it, check your spam folder
Jerry was my in for Bluegrass music.
For better or worse, he brought a lot of people into the scene.
I was at a bluegrass festival and overheard someone complaining about too many GD fans/songs (jamming). If you took everyone out of the festival that liked the Dead (not even DHs) that festival would die... If any genre of music stops bringing in new blood it's heading for a dead end.
Same, there’s a bluegrass band called the Rumpke Mountain Boys from the Cincinnati area where I’m from (those familiar will know that rumpke “mountain” is the main landfill for the city) and they refer to their music as Trashgrass. I saw them at a festival playing a couple dead tunes at 9:30AM and I’ve loved bluegrass ever since.
I respect anyone that is honestly expressing themselves through music regardless of the genre. I wasn't always that way, but the I grew up. Maturity can either keep you stuck, or open whole new worlds of pleasure and appreciation.
@JackCerro-Me too! Old and in the Way, "That High Lonesome Sound" was what hooked me!
Good morning Otis. One more Saturday morning. Peace to everyone.
Wow. What a lineup of musicians paying tribute to Jerry. Jerry played Banjo, Gtr and pedal steel. All just as great as his Gtr playing and deeply influenced by bluegrass and country. The 3 movies you mentioned are all amazing movies. Festival express was about The Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, and The flying burrito brothers.. I believe Buddy Guy as well...doing a tour around Canada. Such great footage in the movie. Jerry jamming with Janis Joplin and so much more. Grateful Dawg is such a great look into Jerry and David Grisman's musical partnership. Lots of performance footage as well as rare interviews and a behind the scenes look into their friendship and much more. Long strange trip is such an incredible Doc about The Dead. All 3 are so worth watching.
Very cool Otis! Love, Old and in the way 🐿️😎🐿️
That's what I heard them say❤
Jerry Garcia was a musical genius and an otherworldly guitar player. Love all of his bluegrass work!
Sounds like you’ve been busy, Otis. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us. Hope everyone is having a great day. We’re a long way from red buds up here.🇨🇦
Thanks Otis - Good Morning From an Earthquake - Shakin - New York .
❤were shaking here in up state NY yo buddy thanks I really miss Jerry's live music now I have a destination to see nothing better then a bluegrass concert except a bluegrass museum fantastic news for a Saturday morning thanks man
One of my favorite all-time banjo based song is Garcia & Grisman doing Sweet Sunny South.
Thanks again Mr. Otis. ... Sincerely appreciate the time and efforts.
Best regards
🤠
Garcia recorded the top two selling bluegrass albums of all time. He was a national bluegrass banjo champion before he ever played amplified music. He wasn't a wannabe. He was the real thing.
That sounds great ! Thanks for the heads up , Otis !!!
Love all the Jerry news I can get. Thanks
Don’t see many redbuds here in west central Florida but we share a small thread or two you and I. Turns out I dug and planted many a tree here as a young man and I’m certain we both love our guitars! Cheers mate, love the channel and you sir have been an inspiration and an institute of learning for me since I discovered your channel. Thanks for all the sharing you do brother. Bless you for all you are to all of us out here in the inner webs!
Thanks for the JG bluegrass exhibit info. Hope I can get there...Got to see Grateful+NRPS starting in 1970. One of the all time highlghts of my life was the Dead+Allmans June 9+10 '73 at RFK and Monday June 11 saw Old + In The Way at the Temple Music Festival in Ambler PA. 3 days of musical bliss!
Red buds just barely starting to pop here in Michigan. Beautiful sign of spring.
Always smooth delivery with the utmost respect
I'm diggin' the Jerry Garcia stuff! I've learned more about guitar and life from Jerry than anyone else on this planet.
😂✌💀👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🇺🇸🔥
Thanks Otis. My wife and I felt like Redbuds on a tree just naturally hanging out with ya on a cloudy day. We are now planning on going to the exhibit as part of our trip to Gatlinburg this summer. We love bluegrass and your videos (they've become a regular part of our down time together during the week).
Great content, as always...please keep the conversations flowing.
Otis, have you ever been to the festivals at Bean Blossom, Indiana? Thanks for the Jerry Garcia Exhibit information. Love ya man.
Snack Tax… that and the stories… (cowboy story songs need good stories…) that is why we watch… thank you… and thanks to your wife!
Awesome thanks otis love jerry playing bluegrass
My brother is in Bowling Green KY. When I go see him I will have to go over there and check it out thanks Otis
We have a ton of Red Bud trees in the Tulsa area. Like you, I love them! Just beautiful!
I love Garcia and everything that he ever did! ❤❤❤
Redbuds and forsythia are blooming in southern New England...enjoy Key West...it is a special place!
Jerry's history, and love of, bluegrass is legendary for us deadheads. He followed Bill Monroe around for a few years in late 50s early 60s--wanted to be a bluegrass boy in the band. Old and in the Way was best selling all time bluegrass album for 25 years. He played with Tony Rice , Peter Rowan and others. The reason he didnt have more of a career in bluegrass was due to his fame. He realized he (us deadheads) would overwhelm most bluegrass scenes and therefore he just did side projects and played his banjo alot in the shadows. Good banjo and acoustic guitar player that LOVED bluegrass and old time English/Scottish balads. One of the many facets of Garcia, including one where he made a contribution to music history, despite being in a ''rocknroll'' band playing 100 shows a year for 30 years. In later life, Robert Hunter had connections in Nashville--- folks like Jim Lauderdale.
It's great to hear from you again Ottis never get enough of the wonderful things you have to say. I live in So-Cal and we are getting a super bloom of Poppys and flowers just like the Red Buds and all I can say is wow! Thanks again for sharing.
Hello Otis and everyone. I enjoy hearing about places "to see" in Nashville. Going to Nashville is a bucket list item for me. Fingers crossed, I make it in the next couple of years. Listening to your description of place & things keeps me bumped about going.
Have a safe trip to the Keys! Cheers
No shame! Nothing a good visit and some stories wouldn’t cure…. Looking forward to it!
Red buds are pretty. Green buds are my preference.
Such a great video! Loved spending a little of Saturday afternoon with you and the Redbuds!
I had no idea about this exhibit Otis. Thank you for the heads up! Peace
Hi Otis. Spring has sprung here in Barcelona, lots of blossoms on the trees. That squirrel looks well fed! 🙂
I love the channel and subscribe, of course. Garcia totally blew me away in the ‘70’s with the old & in the way stuff! All I do now is play worship but it’s starlight vintage Jerry every chance I see an opportunity to throw in Weir/Garcia stuff. It just comes out of me. “Garcia Bluegrass” how cool is that Dude? Thanks Jerry!!! What I would do to see them all like back in the ‘80’s on the East Coast…I gotta do a trip to the museum for sure! Everything in WNC is really blooming’ now!!! Thanks!!!
Happy Saturday, Otis!
I remember Jerry Garcia and David Grisman getting some press in various guitar magazines decades ago. I think I still have some of them. I'm thinking a trip to Kentucky might be on my agenda. I'd like to get to Nashville at some point, too. Soon.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Be good to you 🙏🏻🤍
Almost to 100K subs Otis, great tribute to you and your content on the channel. Keep up the good work with your great commentary and guest interviews. Best from Lafayette, LA
I was a fan of Joe Chambers at the country music HOF, after Joe passed I was thinking that you would be the natural to take over that Chanel , it overlaps with yours as you mentioned
the musicians hall of fame was my first stop on the RUclips musicology rabbit holes. Great trip. Las summer I went to the HOF itself in Nashville. Outstanding. So cool its primarily organized around major recording studios. And the Grammy room is special too.
In these unprecedented times, it's comforting to have Otis and his calm and measured tones. There are a million TicTokers out there. But how many legit get caught in the rain?
One of my favorite albums of all time. It’s impossible to find the original.
My bluegrass journey began by catching the South Loomis Quickstep Band in No. California (Mark O'Connor played with'em for a bit in his youth) - not knowing that they were among the early "jam" grass vanguard influenced by Old & In The Way. It might even be true, but I've always loved the story about Vassar Clements, upon arriving by bus with the band in the SF Bay area, "Hey, Jerry, you're on that billboard," a Bill Graham Dead show announcement.
Grateful Dawg! Old and in the Way. Hot stuff! Sooo looking forward to future episodes! Keep on!
I didn't know about the bluegrass museum in Owensburg but I do know that a lot of Jerry's guitar playing style was heavily influenced by his banjo playing from him being a huge bluegrass fan.I've always thought that fact about Jerry's playing was one pf thr factors that contributed a lot to what a lot of music fans didn't "get" about The Grateful Dead.When you consider that The GD took bluegrass,rock,funk,reggae,outlaw country,jazz and blues vombined with a very healthy dose of improvisation and then smashed it all together to make their own sound it's easy to over look just one part of that sound which is the bluegrass part but the bluegrass in the sound was a really major influence because The GD was ultimately Jerry's baby.Jerry was also a huge fan of Clarence and Roland White,Hank Williams sr,Bill Monroe and many others which heavily informed his guitar playing and The GD.Thanks for the great video and info about Jerry being in The Bluegrass Hall of Fame.🙂
Four minutes ago, it's like being on the porch.
Thank you Otis!
Love Red Buds Otis,i use to really love Green buds, also , i read pledging my Time because of your channel, Thank you for everything, Your the Best!
Guthrie Trapp @ The Underdog! Best Monday night I think I've ever had. It was a trip meeting you there. Thanks for giving Bellingham, Wa. a shout out, it's a great music town!
Hey Otis, as always this post has topics that I relate to. Growing up in the’60s I listened to all the hits on AM radio and spun 45s at home. Shortly after high school graduation I started hanging with older friends who turned me on to John Prine, NRPS, Goose Creek Symphony etc, etc. That’s how I first heard sold and In The Way. I was impressed. There is a tribute to the anniversary of its release at the end of June at the Caverns in Tennessee staring the son of David Grisman and Peter Rowan will be there. I plan to attend. I also love the spring awakening. I recently drove through Texas and after 67 trips around the sun I finally got to see the bluebonnet bloom. Texas is alive with wildflowers. Much love to you.
What a treasure this guy is
Love Old and in the Way !!! Great stuff !!
Red Buds are one of spring's glories; they're leafing out now in Chapelboro, NC. Thanks for reminding me about the JG show in Owensboro. As for Old and in the Way, the song that sticks with me and is a constant joy is Midnight Moonlight.
My redbud just starting to leaf out now in N. Calif. The bumble bees just love the blossoms! Thanks for all you do Otis!
Redbuds are OUT here in CVA ❤ They’re beautiful 🤩
Otis, you “make” my Saturday mornings. I am always so happy to watch your thoughtful videos. That includes the interview vids also. Thank you!👍
This episode reminds me of listening to you every week. I learn something new, or something I should have known. I learn about artists new to me and great stories. Thanks. I get great fun sharing what I learn.
Otis, you need to do a better job of remembering your coffee. I bring mine every week only to discover you left yours in the house, forget to bring it, or don’t have any. C’mon man! Quit messing with our Mojo!! 😂😂😂. Much love to you.
Enjoy the Keys. I was in the keys in Feb helping my daughter move there and saw a big poster advert for the series of shows in the window with your pic. Looked great. Wish I could catch you there! Enjoy the show!
This is fantastic information and I did not know about the exhibit or the event. I'm a deadhead since I was a kid and come from a family of mandolin players including my dad my dad who used to take me to see Dave Grisman. I've been a blue grass fan since I was a kid as well. Coincidentally, I'm working with a bunch of rental backline tomorrow in Imokalee, Florida at a bluegrass Festival with leftover salmon and railroad Earth and Rhonda Vincent and a bunch of other acts. I'm going to talk to the leftover salmon guys about this event. See what they have to say. Thanks so much for posting this.
What the heck are redbuds...hahaha.Don't have them here in Oregon.Thanks for great interview w Ray Padgett(sp?) really great stuff!
Thanks Otis. Always appreciated.....red buds are yet to bloom in Montana.

Beliingham, Wa shoutout, my home as well. Also appreciate prior shout-out for Rochester NY, where I was born. The redbud and lilac bloom in abundance once the snows pass.
No red buds blooming here in the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Washington State yet but perhaps soon. I absolutely love your channel and the interviews are the BEST! Keep on keepin' on dear friend and much love back at ya! Your 75 year old singer/songwriter friend...Bob
I've never been to Key West, or Florida for that matter either, wish I could attend, but to short notice for me West coaster!
I came across Jerry Garcia bluegrass background and David the dog from the movie The Grateful Dog that I came across in a thrift store and I was blown away and had to do a deep dive definitely got to make it down there to that one thanks for sharing Otis
Funny enough, i mentioned Old and in the way, to the Bellingham guy that night. A pleasure talking to you Otis.
Shout out to OKC!
Ray Paget. Wonderful. Got the ebook on the spot. 🎶🎶🎶
We learned about Jon Byrd on your channel. Now we watch Jon and Neil every Wednesday after our local Wednesday music jam. !!!!
I’m sure many also know that Jerry played pedal steel on CSNY’s legendary “Teach Your Children”.
Still snowing up here in Edmonton. Maybe I should go down to Nashville and see the flowers and the Garcia exhibit.
Always listen to your podcast. Truly enjoy the way you present them. Always listen all the way through. (Redbuds).
Otis, thanks for doing what you do.
Yes the red buds and dogwoods in full bloom here in TN. Safe travels to you.
My 2 favorite channels on RUclips are yours and a channel called Guitargate. Guthrie is part of their, let's call it, master class sessions. And I can not speak highly enough about his musical mind and the way he approaches music.
I have a ticket to the London show, but I haven't gotten my passport renewal back, so it's still up in the air if I can make it.
Another great Saturday morning video, appreciate the info-can’t wait to head to the BGHOF in Owensboro! Your interview of Ray Padgett was fantastic. His Substack, Flagging Down the Double E’s is excellent. The Red Buds are in bloom around the lake! Thanks again, Otis ✌🏻
Morning Otis, as I get older, I wish I had a Transporter like in Star Trek. I would be at The Garcia Bluegrass exhibit, out to the 5spot, over to Seymour to catch a show! My Wisteria is looking Good! Rosebud.... went for a Citizen Kane reference instead. Have a great weekend!
Hi Otis! Yes I had heard about the bluegrass exhibit. Big Steve (Steve Parish, Jerry's guitar tech & friend for many years) talked about it on his Sirius XM show. He was supposed to go but he couldn't make it because of other pressing west coast commitments (I don't remember what, but he did say.). It sounds awesome. As you probably know, Jerry started as a bluegrass player and continued to play many "side gigs" of all types including bluegrass! He loved playing all types of music and many people miss him very much. I want to go see this exhibit and am thankful it will be there for 2 years!! Hope you can get there to see it also. In the meanwhile you can listen to his music from many sources.... and on youtube too. I love getting up and looking for your weekly chat while I have my coffee. Thanks for all you do. Much love to you too. (And yes, the redbuds already bloomed down here in Texas.... now everything is going nuts blooming. It has already gotten very hot .... especially for April.)
Love Leftover Salmon. RIP Jerry Garcia !
Hey Otis...Road trip to KW to catch your show on 17th. Never seen this venue. On the roof! Pray for clear evening and cool breeze. We're big fans and have coffee with you. I haven't seen a video I didn't enjoy and the insider stuff is great. I frequently watch them more than once. Love Kenny Vaughn interviews. that boy is a trip. See you in a few days
Got my Coffee.Got my Otis i"m good.
I grew up in King North Carolina listening to Ralph and Rex McGee play bluegrass, not far from my roots in Appalachia and Doc Watson and Shelby, North Carolina, Deep Gap. You know Tony Rice lived not far from here, the band Alabama actually got their radio debut in my hometown on a little radio station here. I did not start listening to Jerry Garcia until I was about 20 years old, but I think that he and David Grisman are some of the best Bluegrass ever; although my favorite Bluegrass ever is the Johnson Mountain Boys from Washington DC, I love the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. You know I love the Pizza Tapes and Old and in The Way and Shady Grove. I went to college in Boone, North Carolina, so actually got to hear Old Crow Medicine Show on the street before they were even heard of. Good luck to you on this project Otis. Rhettbutt.
Thanks Otis! No red buds yet in Northern New Hampshire. Safe travels!
I always dug the Old & In The Way stuff
Morning Otis~. I’m watching 🌱
I have several red buds in my yard too.
Hey Otis, great one. Hope you and yours are doing well. REDBUD comment: A 90 year old friend who drives to Texas from CA once a year happened to mention in a text the beauty of the countryside now that they're in bloom. Thought I'd mention we had a little snow here in Coarsegold, CA. Snow in April. Very unusual. Also experiencing record lows - 25 yesterday, so especially enjoyed my cup of Joe with you today. Take care. Love to all.
My wife and kids recently competed in the Kentucky State Fiddle Championship at the Hall of Fame in Owensboro. The folks there were wonderful and downtown Owensboro is a really neat spot.
Man oh man! love me some Jerry ❤ ! I've sported a "Blues for Allah " tat on arm for 40 some years, its some of the ink i don't regret! Keep on keepin on, Otis.....
Sounds like a great trip to TN and KY. I enjoy the redbuds too, bud! ☕️🎸🐶
Redbuds in full bloom here in Louisville. Enjoyed the Ray Padget interviews on Dylan....good stuff! Thanks for the tips on good music venues in Nashville. I would enjoy an entire video on that...interested in places that are not as touristy and more local hang outs. I've had friends ask me about good Nashville music venues since I'm an amateur guitar player and a music nerd, and I don't really have an insider's knowledge of the good places to catch some talented musicians. Thanks for the Saturday morning ritual!
That's a cool story Otis, and how cool you will be going to the U.K. That's where I grew up. Have a great gig in Key West.
Great content Otis. I sense a road trip to Owensboro in your future 😉
Our red buds have just dropped their blooms . Spring has sprung : )✌❤☕
I love it when the Redbuds start blooming. Soon be Dogwoods.
Try to interview a few people in the UK. It’s good to see how our cousins across the pond are doing. Thanks Otis and enjoy your travels.
Safe travels Otis!
Have a great weekend Otis. Enjoy those redbuds!
Redbuds are beautiful❤
Got to speak with Vince one on one briefly a few times 20 plus years ago and he was always super nice.
He sent a manager out with some guitar strings for me because he noticed mine were old when he walked up to say hello.
Redbud blooming time is my favorite down here in Nashville ( Indiana) 😊
