The Jauntee

Greetings, Dead Freaks! Do you like jams? This episode is about jams. Colorado-based band, The Jauntee, jams quite a bit. Scott Ferber, their drummer, joins to tell us all about his great band and,  naturally, we steer the talk into Grateful Dead.

Over the Summer they released a collection of live tracks called "Jaunts Of Our Lives" that you can check out on Bandcamp. We've got a big jam, entitled "Good Ol' Boy", for you after the interview and then a nice dose of 1973 Grateful Dead.

Constantly on the road, The Jauntee and will be coming back east before swinging through the south Check out their tour dates below or at TheJauntee.com.

Robert Hunter

Greetings, friends.
This episode is a bit sadder of purpose but, nonetheless, a celebration. Robert Hunter has passed on and we celebrate him with some memories, music, and poetry. His lyrics fueled the mythology of the Grateful Dead and Deadheads for more than fifty years and, as we carry on, his words will ride with us forever.

Friends from fellow Osiris podcasts join in to share some thoughts. We have Rob Turner of Inside Out with Turner & Seth, Aaron & Apple from No Simple Road, and Casey Rae of Dead To Me. Each offer personal thoughts on the legacy of Robert Hunter. I'd like to thank them all, once again, for their contributions.

In the course of the show, I mentioned Jesse Jarnow's excellent deep dive into Giant's Harp and other writings by Hunter. You can find it at Aquarium Drunkard, right here.

Included in this episode is an excerpt from a newly transferred tape of an uncirculated Robert Hunter poetry reading. This tape could benefit from a superior transfer. Please reach out if you are interested in taking care of this.
