Comment
Jerry Garcia interview with a former banjo student and someone else (an artist named "Kramer").
early March?, 1967
Grateful Dead House
710 Ashbury Street, San Francisco, California, USA
83 minutes

Lots of interesting early 1967 Jerry talk The probable date is because their first album was about to be released, but hadn't been yet. (The release date for the first album was March 17, 1967.)

Besides Jerry and the interviewers, there are bits of Mountain Girl, Bob Weir, Pigpen and others in the background.
