Corry Arnold: "This show is Jerry sitting in with Bay Area
bluegrass band High Country: Butch Waller (mandolin, vocals),
David Nelson (guitar, vocals) and Rich Wilbur (bass, vocals).
The confusion surrounding this tape was cleared up by a Usenet
posting from David Nelson,now buried in my wife's deceased hard drive.
Nelson was a sometime member of High Country and Jerry sat in. Since
all Matrix shows were taped (hallelujah) this artifact survives. The
numbers are such standards that it was easy for naive listeners (including
me in the past) to assume that Grisman, Wakefield, Peter Rowan or others
were involved, since all bluegrass singers imitate Bill Monroe.
According to another posting, the band listed at the Matrix that night
was "Weird Herald". For various reasons I think that is a bluegrass joke
(there is a well-known bluegrass singer named John Herald, and some other facts).
High Country was unlisted, or they actually were Weird Herald.
Butch Waller sings and plays a lot like Frank Wakefield so Wakefield is often
mistakenly listed as appearing on the tape (I'm sure Waller would be complimented).
Butch Waller and High Country still reform every New Years to play the
Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. Jerry hasn't shown up yet, but you never know."
