Show Notes
Symphonic Trumpet Student, KPFA Radio Engineer, and Grateful Dead Bass Player, Phil Lesh has died at age 84. Among the Bass Guitar innovators of the 1960's, Phil provided a Brass Section approach to playing Bass. He changed the way Bass fits into a band and launched an avalanche of low end boom and melody that beautifully connected to the guitar playing of Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia. Chris and Jim share their reflections on Phil's life and music and tell the story behind his signature tune, Box of Rain. Join us for Episode 49 of Six String Hayride Podcast and remember one of the great Bass Players in music. Phil Lesh was a huge supporter of Organ Donation. If this is something that lines up with your beliefs, please consider it and tell your family what your wishes are, you could save a life. Thanks, Peace, and Music, Chris and Jim
