This is a voluminous gem of a release. McNally's introduction to Jerry and the band is informative and inspiring. The interviews reveal what a polymath Jerry is. I had the good fortune as a Dead Head teenager to talk with Jerry backstage at the Keystone. I was astonished that he was interested in my interest in the Amazon Basin. He recommended a Scientific American article about the area to me. When you hear about how Jerry was into give-and-fro conversation with 'random' people this makes sense. What a brilliant man who continues to give and inspire with his words in this collection.

I got home and checked my emails . I saw the Garcia family email with the new Jerry on Jerry book . I wanted to squeeze the trigger but times are tuff . Later that night I mentioned the new book to my honey . I got permission so went to order . Much to my dismay the book was sold out . Bummed out I then saw the audio book . The light went on ! Dennis McNally and Jerry rapping !! Why read a book when I can listen to Jerry . It's absolutely great . Highly recommend the audio . It's Jerry , plain and simple .
