3/8/74 grisman’s house: a pair of 1920s hot #jazz standards that pop up soon in the repertoire of grisman’s new great american string band, bernie/pinkard/casey’s SWEET GEORGIA BROWN & furber/braham’s LIMEHOUSE BLUES, rich & full & fun. both mark a level-up in complexity from the old & in the way material, moving towards dawg music. 1st appearance of SWEET GEORGIA BROWN in the garciaverse, though LIMEHOUSE BLUES shows up on the ’64 banjo lesson tape. #garciafreaksunite#jg030874 [2/2]
@bourgwick i think it's fair to say that sweet Georgia brown entered the acoustic music world (as opposed to jazz) via Doc Watson in between 64 and 74 though both Dawg and Spud would have known it from Django and many others obviously
