He's also been quite active in the Dead scene of late which is how I ran into his work, e.g., he wrote liner notes for the recent Before the Dead (a compilation of Garcia's early bluegrass works) and reviews for the re-release of Ned Lagin's Seastones etc. He also had a really excellent tribute / eulogy to John Perry Barlow (Weir's co-lyricist) when he passed a few months back. Not surprised at all to hear his show is good, checking it out now.
