D.Nelson(?): (cut) "..nk you very much. Uh, in case you don't already know, we're the Black Mountain Boys or the Black Mountain String Band -- the greatest bluegrass band since King Solomon's Mines. And over on the right hand side, we have Jerry Garcia, alias Dr. Car Stairs; and on the guitar, we have Eric Thompson..."
