ZION



Keith and Donna Godchaux issued the mostly self-written Keith and Donna album in 1975 with Jerry Garcia as a member of their band. The album was recorded at their home in Stinson Beach, where they lived in the 1970s. In turn, they performed as part of the Jerry Garcia Band. Subsequently, Godchaux co-wrote songs with Lowell George (of Little Feat) and Robert Hunter.The cover features the Godchaux's son Zion. Garcia provided drawings representing his [Zion's] thoughts.

I forgot all about this LP. I'm gonna pull it out and give a listen tomorrow. I saw the K&D band with Garcia in August of 1975 at the GAMH (Great American Music Hall). Very good show, if I recall correctly Bill Kreutzmann was on drums.Thanks for keeping the music ALIVE!
