Back at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, I recorded a bunch of Grateful Dead covers on ukulele - needed something to do in quarantine!
sparkling version of the first single from the first grateful dead album…one of the first albums i bought in 1967 and still my favorite one from the dead.
Great rendition!
I remember those from covid lockdown and how things evolved musically online for many. I remember mentioning then - that I often thought more of your take on them than the originals. Had you been a member of the band, I may have followed them at touch more. I was never a “dead head”, but, as well, I never pulled anyone over with a “dancing bear” pasted on their bumper/window - lol!
This is another song I haven’t heard in a long time. Great slant on that song…the uke strumming is cool. I need to practice my playing more. Thx good listen
For someone who is not a Dead fan I sure do have a lot of Dead albums.
I’m loving this ukulele.
Such a clean sound you get here.
Your vocals are perfect for this tune.
I have heard (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that the first album is so speedy cos they were nervous, yes, but also full of diet pills.
Anyway, I really enjoyed your gentle, slower version.
