Hi Mat, thanks for all your sharing of audio here. It’s appreciated, and the wide variety is impressive.
There is a GD-related studio project I’ve been looking for, and I’m wondering if you have it. It’s credited to Snooky Flowers, the sax player with Janis Joplin for one of her bands, and a session player on a lot of SF music. He cut solo sessions that included Jerry Garcia and many other Bay Area musicians. There is a version of this circulating under this description: Snooky Flowers (& heavy friends) 1972-74 Novato, CA Rolling Thunder Studios UNISSUED LP. I’d love to hear this someday!
I’m afraid I don’t have that. I little digging around came up with not much, mostly dead links. I’ll keep an eye out though and will post here if I find.
