Martin Fierro rarely grants interviews, but he is a story-teller, full of wild memories from years of playing shows with Jerry Garcia in Legion Of Mary and JGB, and recording Wake Of The Flood with Grateful Dead. Returning to Fayetteville after many visits here with Zero and various Steve Kimock jams, Martin offered to tell some of his stories on the air, live on Honest Tunes Radio Show ‘s exclusive interview on Jerry’s birthday. Martin is flying in from San Francisco with his sax, to join us on the radio show at 8PM Central Time. Then he’ll jam at George’s for the Jerry Garcia Birthday Celebration at 10PM with members of Speakeasy and M.O.V. If you have a Question for the venerable saxophonist, post a comment here on the blog, we’ll try to pitch the most interesting questions to Martin Fierro. We would like to get him talking about the old days, and his time spent with Garcia.

    Be Grateful:

    Garcia sings these 2 verses of Tough Mama (written by Bob Dylan) on the Honest Tunes podcast after a tremendous saxophone solo by Fierro:

    Silver Angel
    With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve
    I’d be grateful if this golden ring you would receive
    Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
    I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch
    Sweet Goddess
    It must be time to carve another notch

    I’m crestfallen
    The world of illusion is at my door
    I ain’t a-haulin’ any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore
    The prison walls are crumblin’, there is no end in sight
    I’ve gained some recognition but I lost my appetite
    Dark Beauty
    Meet me at the border late tonight

    A letter from the home page of Martin Fierro, links here. Send your love out. -DG

    Dear Fans, Friends and Family,

    At this time I would like to let you know that I am about to face one of the biggest challenges of my life. I know that with Gods will, along with your love, support and prayers we will meet this challenge to the end.

    Being the kind of person that I am, I have always shared my love, laughter and tears through the music I have played for over 50 years now. Please reflect on that and hold it in your thoughts and prayers for me and my extended family in this time of need.

    Love, Martin Fierro

    P.S. for those of you who wish to help, more information will be posted here as things develop, so please stay tuned. And don’t forget your Zero underwear.
