Notes
"The Good Old Boys sessions at Mickey's studio were a special time for all concerned, as Garcia had a chance to produce artists he had long admired: Don Reno (banjo), Chubby Wise (fiddle), Frank Wakefield (mandolin) and David Nelson (guitar). Two [sic] days of pure bluegrass heaven for all of us, but especially for Garcia. Lotsa laughin' 'n' apickin'. It was a good ol' time" (Brown 1986, 26).
