David Gans Part 1 (Reupload)
<p>David Gans is a musician, journalist, and radio host who has (among other activities) spent the last 35+ years documenting the music and culture of the Grateful Dead. This week he was kind enough to join us in our studio for a great conversation. Topics ranged from community & inclusion, to being productive during the time of Covid. David is currently working with Joe Craven (of Garica-Grisman) as “Garcia Songbook Live.” He breaks down his prolific 50+ year history of the music playing the man, playing GD music and much more. David tells stories in own unique way and it was an absolute honor having him on the show…</p> <p><br></p> <p>“The Grateful Dead have inspired me for more than fifty years,” David says, “and by allowing and encouraging me to curate their music in various media, they have subsidized my own creativity – for which I am eternally grateful.”</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can learn more about David Gans here:</p> <p>Web Site: <a href="https://www.dgans.com/">https://www.dgans.com/</a></p> <p>Record Label: <a href="https://perfectible.net/">https://perfectible.net/</a></p> <p>Dancin’ in the Streets 10/10/76 Oakland -Alameda County Stadium (Source 1)</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJwCBi4quUk">David Gans, Joe Craven & Friends - Attics Of My Life 2023-01-22 at The Ivy Room, Albany, CA</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh1bQyGxMbg">Wake the Dead perform a medley starting with St. Stephen</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7UQUj6HnO8">Stu Allen and Mars Hotel | Live from Pacific Fine Food, Alameda CA | Sunday Feb 19, 2023</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV_oQhnYJ6w">David Gans 3/30/23 live from Oakland</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIuyDWzctgY">Dobie Gray - Drift Away (Original Official Video)</a></p> <p>Go Join Us <a href="https://www.patreon.com/deadtourtales">Patreon</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeadTourTales">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deadtourtales/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@deadtourtales">TikTok</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.deadtourtales.com/">deadtourtales.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://alwaysahootstudios.com/collections/dead-tour-tales">GET THAT MERCH</a></p> <p>Credits:</p> <p>Brandon Swinehart, Co-Host/Co-Creator, James Donovan Co-Host/Co-Creator, Editing & Sound Design Ford Kjellberg</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

Jeremy Hoenig
<p>What a pleasure it was to rap with Jereemy Hoenig of JGB this week. I think you'll find Jeremy to be incredibly thoughtful, insightful, intelligent, genuine and incredibly talented. In this episode we discuss his growing up in the East Bay (Fremont) Area of California in the '70s & how the influences of time and place shaped both his musical and life path (one and the same). We cover topics as wide as his ethnomusicology education; music creation and production - both in this home studio and on the road with his numerous musical projects; the far locales his musical journey has taken him including his time on the Cook Islands and with the Maori in New Zealand (more on this please!)... He shares his beautiful artful SeaJewelz & ceramic handmade Earth Drumz; his love of philosophy & of course, his experience holding down the rhythm alongside "The Master of the Universe" Melvin Seals and bandmates JP McLean and John Kalicek in the incomparable JGB</p>
