RE: [Harp-L] RE: Discography of Grateful Dead and associated groups/Palm Sunday

Great you can check on this, Francis! I looked again at the CD cover credits and Betty Cantor-Jackson and Bob Matthews are listed as engineers. It was recorded and mixed at Club Front in San Rafael, CA, so there may be other GD outriders, sideriders or insiders  around who'd remember. I can pose the question on The Well, too ...

Hey everyone.  This caught my interest.

I'm a huge Deadhead and Donna's a pal on our myspace http://www.myspace.com/tiedyedbluesjam

I e-mailed her and Jeff replied:

I would've bet anything against it being Matt Kelly.  He was probably the biggest influence on my harp playing...

What do I know?

Is anyone on this list in contact with Will Scarlet to ask him straight up about Palm Sunday? I've got a friend who works with Donna Jean Godchaux when she's in the area, I'll ask my friend to ask Donna, maybe she'd know.

Either it's John Kahn playing some synthesized keyboard harp or Steve Schuster, the sax/clarinet/flutes player playing some electronically altered and/or multi-tracked version of some of those instruments, I would guess. Sure sounds like harp though.
