David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, and Tony Rice - Guitar Space / Summertime

"Summertime" is probably one of the most frequently recorded songs of the last century, so for the next few days, keeping the theme of summer songs going, we'll hear some of those versions. Here's one from the Pizza Tapes, which is a home recording made by the mandolinist David Grisman when he invited two of his guitar-playing musical partners, Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, over to pick a little. They start off free-form, then ease into the familiar chords.
