On Friday night at the Phil show at the Cap, a friend asked me to post the interview that Jerry did with the Silicon Valley Historical Society in which he talks about living in Palo Alto with Robert Hunter in 1961. Living out of two cars in an East Palo Alto parking lot - Garcia’s was a 1950 Cadillac Sedan - the two eat canned food and drink cheap wine while also becoming singing partners. “We started a folk duet called Bob and Jerry and wrote our first song [in 1961]. Back in those days, there weren’t a lot of people on the street. I thought me and Garcia were really unique, the new thing,” says Hunter. “It was quite arrogant. We felt we were the legitimate rulers of the world. The next year, all of a sudden, there started being more and more of us.” The interview, below, is believed to be Jerrys last taped interview: https://youtube/watch?v=xo2E_n27WjQ
