Welcome to Season 9! In this episode, we discuss one of the very best Grateful Dead songs, "Scarlet Begonias," which turned 50 three weeks ago. It's been one of my favourites since I first got into the band about a decade ago, yet my preparation for this episode still led me to discover many details I had glossed over in both the lyrics and the music! I'd love to know what the song means to you as well...

We're trying something new in this episode. The Grateful Dead's 'American Beauty' is one of my absolute favourite albums, securing a place on my personal "Mt. Rushmore," and is an album I always associate with this time of year. This time two years ago, I was writing and editing for a music magazine, and wrote an article on 'American Beauty' that was never published. I stumbled upon it recently and thought I would read it to you all, more like a bedtime story than a typical episode...
For an extensive examination of the album, please refer to Episode 26, which happens to be one of my personal favourites...Support the show
