Host Marc Greene welcomes back Executive Director Bill “Hawk” Semens and Pete Bell of the Owsley Stanley Foundation. These keepers of Bear’s Sonic legacy continue to dip into the incredible wealth of Owsley’s audio archives, the Sonic Journals he captured while working as sound engineer with numerous acts both inside and outside of the Grateful Dead’s immediate family.

The most recent addition is the wonderful The Foxhunt: The Chieftains in San Francisco, 1973 & 1976, capturing a pair of performances by Paddy Maloney’s Irish folk legends, including a set opening for Old and In the Way performed at Jerry Garcia’s invitation.

The gang at the Owsley Stanley Foundation continues to sift through Bear’s tapes, checking and double-checking to make sure they find everything, and this year they found a few somethings.
