Dead Air with Cory Daniels on WRWO 94,5 FM - Aug 26, 2022

Beyond Description. . . 

We check in with the Owsley Stanley Foundation! Owsley, also known as Bear, was an audio engineer and chemist. He was a key figure in the San Francisco Bay Area hippie movement during the 1960s and played a pivotal role in the decade's counterculture. Plus, he was the Grateful Dead's soundman. 

Bear recorded many Grateful Dead shows. The Owsley Stanley Foundation talk about how some of these recordings were stored in banana boxes!? 

The latest release from the Grateful Dead vault - Dave's Picks Vol. 43 - was a banana box classic. 

The Foundation discusses highlights from the recent release, the Dave's Pick series, and the release process.
