love it when the Hunter / Garcia catalog gets tackled by another generation of singer/ songwriters. A little bouncier than Jerry's version..

"Standing On The Moon was first performed by the Grateful Dead on February 5, 1989. It was then played regularly through to the last performance of the song in June 1995. In total the song was played just over 50 times. Robert Hunter commented on the creation of Standing On The Moon; Standing On The Moon was one of those neat, sweet, quick things, like It Must Have Been The Roses, where the whole picture just came to me, and I grabbed a piece of paper and got it down. No changes, no nothin'. Out of the head of Zeus, full-born and clad in armor."

Molly's latest album is called, "But I'd Rather Be With You"
 

had tickets to see her and Billy Strings this year...

Molly's a 2 x International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award winner

 

Being one of those Jerry songs that he sang with so much soul, I was prepared to slam that a soon as I heard it.  But damn. That's pretty good.
