| Episode #23- Jerry Garcia. | 07 Nov 2021 | 01:09:42 | |
Today’s episode is an examination and celebration of the musical roots of the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia. Garcia’s musical roots begin in the early 1960s with traditional American folk music. With styles ranging from bluegrass, old time country music, folk, blues and jug band music, Garcia was a well known performer in SanFrancisco and Bay Area clubs. Around 1964-65 Jerry switched his energy from bluegrass banjo to the electric guitar after forming a rock band with fellow American down home music enthusiasts Bob Weir, Ron “Pigpen” Mckernan, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzman. The Warlocks, soon renamed the Grateful Dead became an extremely popular act in the SanFrancisco area and the rest, as they say, is history. The format for this episode is semi-chronological in regard to Jerry Garcia’s music styles. A variety of styles are examined and is nowhere near a complete, in depth analysis of Jerry’s styles and influences. That could be a full length book. Rather, the show is a simple examination that looks at some of the original recordings that influenced Jerry and then mixes in snippets of how those recordings were manifested in Garcia’s style throughout the decades he was active as a performer up until his untimely death in August of 1995. Early recordings of Jerry in his many aggregations around the Bay Area folk scene have long been available as bootleg tapes as well as most, if not all, of the Grateful Dead shows from their 30 year career made possible through the Dead’s allowing of and encouragement of taping their live performances. There’s a lot out there to listen to and I recommend you seek out as many recordings as you can. For an in depth dive on the Grateful Dead I highly recommend the official podcast of the Grateful Dead, The Good ‘Ol Grateful Deadcast as David Grisman’s record label, Acoustic Disc, which made many great recordings of Jerry playing traditional American music in the early 1990’s. See links below. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

Matt has been a guest on the Old Dingy Jukebox before, once as a solo host (episode #5) as well as with his wife, co-host, historian Dr. Cheryl Jimenez-Frei (episode #14).

| Episode #17- Pre-War Blues, Hokum and Jazz 78 rpm Records: "Jelly Roll, Pig Meat & Reefer Five Foot Long" | 11 Mar 2021 | 01:25:19 | |
Today’s show features some of my favorite 78s from my collection. I thought it would be fun to feature hokum blues and jazz records from the pre-war era. A subcategory of the blues, hokum was popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Hokum songs were often uptempo, funny, and on the raw to often raunchy side. The origins of this style of blues can be traced back to the vaudeville and minstrel show era of the late 19th Century, where songs of this type were performed with a touch of innuendo and comedy. This genre became wildly popular with adult audiences during the 20s and 30s. In the early days, common performers surfaced in jug bands that performed in the beer joints and brothels found up and down Beale Street, in Memphis, Tennessee. Jug bands like the Memphis Jug Band and Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers played good-time, upbeat music on assorted instruments like washboards, fiddles, triangles, harmonicas, guitars and banjos, all anchored by bass notes of an empty jug. Later on, duets featuring the piano and guitar would become popular as well. I’ve always found these types of records entertaining and I thought it would make for a good show to combine these types of hokum records along with some early pre-war jazz records and a few piano stomps thrown in for good measure.

| Episode #16 - 78 & 45 RPM Records: "Truckin', Cheatin' & Surfing" | 22 Feb 2021 | 01:11:25 | |
Today’s episode features some of my favorite records centered around truck driving, hot roddin’, infidelity and surfing. The show's music selection comes from my 78s, 45s and….even a few LPs! I figured these topics would make for an entertaining show. Also, stepping outside the box a little for this show with some instrumental electric guitar groups. That’s where the surfing and hot roddin’ comes in. I love those types of records and I figured I’d throw some of those into the mix for this show. Why not?

| Episode #14- A People’s Archive: Buried Stories, Radical Histories, and Folk Music. With Special Guests Dr. Cheryl Jimenez Frei and Matt Sayles | 09 Dec 2020 | 01:48:04 | |
Today’s show of the Old Dingy Jukebox is a special themed one. This episode is a collection of songs that tell stories of past events or people; stories that in one way or another were marginalized, censored, sanitized, or buried, often because they dealt with histories considered too traumatic, contentious, or even a threat to those in power. Overall, the songs in today’s episode all recount histories that survived—or that were preserved and retold—through music, when they might have otherwise disappeared. The idea for this episode came from my friend Cheryl Jimenez Frei, who is an assistant professor of history at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Dr. Frei used to live in Ventura California, while she was working on her PhD in history at the University of California Santa Barbara. I have talked on the show before about some of the origins of the Old Dingy Jukebox, with record listening parties my good friend Matt Sayles and I would have. As Matt’s wife, Cheryl would often get roped into our listening sessions too, and as a historian, she started up a conversation about songs as primary sources that can tell us a lot about the moment in which they were created. That conversation led to a lesson plan she put together for a public history course she was teaching at UCSB at the time, focusing on how folk music, in many senses, has served as an archive—a people’s archive—preserving events, subjects, and stories that have been absent or silenced in “official” histories or records. Cheryl invited both Matt and I to give a guest lecture and play a few tunes for that class, and now a few years later, this episode is an extension of those conversations about folk music, public history, and memory. Many people might think of folk music as only a US-American tradition, but the style and tradition exists in some form or another in countries all over the world. And in and in all of those places, music does the same: preserving the stories of the people. This episode reflects that diversity, with songs from Mexico, Chile, Ireland, and the US. Both Cheryl and Matt are guests on this episode so sit back and enjoy this history centered episode of the Old Dingy Jukebox: A People’s Archive: Buried Stories, Radical Histories, and Folk music Donate to the podcast: https://paypal.me/christiangallo1?locale.x=en_US Donate to the podcast: https://paypal.me/christiangallo1?locale.x=en_US Website- http://olddingyjukebox.com | |||
| Episode #13 - 78 & 45 RPM Records: "Beer Thievery, Dead Dictators and Inebriated Truck Drivers" | 13 Nov 2020 | 01:07:18 | |
For this episode of the Old DIngy Jukebox, I figured it being election time and all, it would be a good idea to feature records about drinking and politics. As it turns out, the show is mostly songs about drinking. I have a few records in my collection that are political in nature, but the more I started digging through the stacks the more I realized that at this point, the last thing people want to hear about is politics. So, with that in mind, I featured a few records that are political in nature,albeit politics from the 1930s and the 1950s. How quaint.

| Episode #12- Down Home Music: Arhoolie Records | 16 Oct 2020 | 01:22:07 | |
This episode of the Old, Dingy Juke Box features some of my favorite tracks from the great record label, Arhoolie Records. This great record label had a great impact on my musical development and music tastes when I was younger. It still does, and I often marvel at the great and varied output to be found on Arhoolie records. Founded by Chris Stachwitz in 1960, Arhoolie records was started out as an extension of Chris’ love for hunting down old 78rpm records of down home, traditional styles of music. Over the years Chris recorded many types of musicians in a wide variety of ethnic styles. Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, Conjunto, Norteno, Western Swing, Country, Gospel and Klezmer are some examples of the styles Chris recorded and released on his label over the past four decades. Many of the musicians were often recorded on their “home turf” in beer joints, churches, front porches, gatherings, living rooms and dance halls. The records released on Arhoolie represent a fascinating snapshot into the deep and wide well of American vernacular music styles and are truly a national treasure.

I had a great time going through my records and finding a variety of songs from different styles, across different eras, that deal with a variety of experiences relating to work, employment and money.

From early blues, country music, and folk songs, to truckin songs and instrumental breakdowns, there’s something for everyone.

David has produced over twenty CDs and DVDs for his label and has curated two 78rpm box set compilations (Texas & Mississippi Hillbillies) for JSP Records with 78 guru Chris King.

Ranging from obscure, small label 45s to the more well known artists like George Jones and Merle Haggard on major labels like Capitol and Decca.

| Episode #6- Great Guitar Records: "Hillbilly Double Neck Guitars & Long, Tall Women" | 17 Jun 2020 | 01:10:38 | |
This episode of the Old, Dingy Jukebox features some of my favorite guitar records from some of my favorite guitar players. It was pretty hard to narrow it down into one show, but I figured I’d just go for it. Who knows, maybe I’ll do a second show later on down the road. The guitar records and artists I chose for the show cover a lot of different styles and genres, which is sort of what the show is all about. Hopefully it will make for an enjoyable episode for the guitarist, guitar aficionado as well as the casual, every day listener. As usual, I’ve provided a discography of the records I pulled from for the show in order for you to pursue the artists more fully on your own if you are so inclined. Enjoy.

| Episode #5- 78 & 45 RPM Records with Special Guest Matt Sayles of Phillvile Records: "Carbolic Acid, Stormy Hearts, Tangos and Blue Lights" | 05 Jun 2020 | 01:12:40 | |
For today’s show I bring in a good friend of mine to host the show, Matt Sayles. Every so often I will be having somebody on the podcast to be a guest host of the show. Matt and I have spent many a fun evening hanging out and listening to old records and those evenings, in part, we’re the genesis of this podcast. Matt is a great musician who has experience fronting bands and touring around the United States and Europe. He also owns a record label, Philville Records. Philville is active in producing, recording and supporting various musical acts and I recommend you visit the website to check out what’s going on with the label.
