Great interview Mike. I could listen and watch you and David Grisman all day. Im gonna rewatch it tonight and figure out how to play E.M.D. Maybe you could do a quick lesson on it and typsy gypsy
Awesome talk with the Dawg, Mike. I was listening to Dawd about the time of Old / in the Way. Then a few decades later I got a mandolin of my own, learned a bunch of Irish fiddle tunes and readily agree-- any melody can be played on mandolin.
What impressed me the most is his humility. For a man with his talents experience, and collaborations, he displayed such kindness and humility! Great interview
As a player, composer, arranger and band leader few reach the heights David has. A fan almost from the beginning such a treat to hear him and thank you for posting it. I had know idea of his website and will be going there next. A lifetime of beautiful music.
I've been a Dawg fan since I heard him on American Beauty and then Old & In the Way. I played the first Rounder Album non-stop and although it was my love of Bluegrass that led me there, it was Dawg jazz that hooked me for life. My mother had a cheap mandolin kicking around the house that I started hacking on, that would have been around '74 or so. It's been a lifelong love ever since. Thanks for the interview Mike, it was a real treat.
Before I knew what a mandolin was I heard him play one on American Beauty. Between him and John Paul Jones - my first exposure to the mando. Thanks for the great interview - well thought out questions and plenty of space for him to jam out answers.
Amazing the time that has gone by. I traveled some parallel paths back in the 70s. Since I got out of the business songs you mentioned as "old" I've barely heard. They will always be "new" to me. I loved the Pizza tapes. It was a great surprise to find them. Jerry could be a little depressive, though, sometimes. However, that was one very cool collaboration 🙂 Will always treasure the great music and good times - Thanks for sharing.

Great interview. The Dawg is starting to look like Leonardo Da Vinci.
Yeah. He’s the Leonardo of the mandolin!
