It's an interesting and still somewhat mysterious story.Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18366371.post-26520075604638318152010-11-14T23:44:32.047-07:002010-11-14T23:44:32.047-07:00As another footnote to this sequence, on April 10,...As another footnote to this sequence, on April 10, 1974 (a Wednesday), David Grisman and David Nichtern were booked at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. Whether they played as a duo or had additional friends isn't clear; given the tiny size of the Freight at the time, it was likely just the two of them. <br /><br />Regardless of what music The Two Davids played--I'd love to know--it's another sign of the flurry of activity Grisman was undertaking in Spring 1974. It would take another year (actually longer) to blossom into the David Grisman Quintet, but April 10, 1974 seems to be one of the first inklings.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.com
