CommentJerry Garcia Interview by Randy Groenke and Mike Cramer. Date of early March 1967 is inferred from comments about the imminent release of the GD's first album. Blair Jackson wrote the following about this interview: "This interview was done at 710 Ashbury in February or March of 1967 ... Randy Groenke, the principal interviewer, had been a banjo student of Garcia's in the early 60s when they both lived in the South Bay. He and his friend Mike Cramer simply called Jerry up and arranged to do the interview, friend to friend."

"One Afternoon Long Ago ... An Interview with Jerry Garcia, 1967," by Randy Groenke and Mike Cramer. First published in The Golden Road magazine and reprinted in Herb Greene, Dead Days: A Grateful Dead Illustrated History (Petaluma, CA: Acid Test Productions, 1997).
