Great underrated songs. A song for you is a great lovesong. Bell Bottom Blues is a supergreat love song. To quote lyrics:
Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don’t want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

Jerry was not a slide master until I was watching Lowell George play and I noticed his thumb was under the fretboard not in back. Therefore it is easier to slide without the thumb grabbing. Jerry is now a slide master thanks to Lowell George.

I was looking for Kate Wolf footage, but Nancy Griffith is the closest I could find
Kate Wolf lived right in the San Geronimo Valley until her death from Leukemia/Cancer
Before she left she wrote some amazing songs. My friend Laurie McClain made a tribute album which has some really nice versions of Kate Wolf's songs. There is also a Kate Wolf music festival every year in Northern California
