"Early on in our collaboration, I remember him calling to ask if I could cover his fugue-like guitar part on 'China Cat Sunflower.' When the tune was originally penned, Garcia sang and Bobby noodled around Jerry’s pentatonic bounce. It only made sense that Bob would need that part played by someone else, now that he was holding it down on lead vocals. 'Got ya covered,' I answered, eagerly. Bob’s guitar part was still ringing in my ears from basement jams in high school — seemed like an old friend to me. The beautiful part of this is Bob never acted like I should know it — he was just happy to share it with me. In other words, a fuckin’ mensch." Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman has penned an ode to his friend @BobWeir in our latest issue. countyhighway.com/archive/vo…
