Weir had just met Garcia (as he says, on New Year’s Eve, 1963). “I think
I first met Pigpen in Garcia’s garage in Palo Alto at the first jug
band rehearsal. Garcia had said he knew this guy Pigpen who played real
good blues; and even though he’d been around, I’d never really heard
about him until that day.”(1)
"The jug band rehearsed anyplace it could--at the Hamilton Street pad,
Weir's parent's house or, as likely, in the garage of the cozy
two-bedroom cottage Jerry and Sara rented after he returned from his
eastern odyssey.
Three-fifty-one Bryant Court was a sunny little house
with a small yard surrounded by a white picket fence, a great
improvement over their previous residence."(2)
Jerry rehearsed on
