I had always assumed it was Old And In The Way, leading to the David
Grisman Quintet and thence to the space-jammier side of acoustic
music. I don't know much about Dead geneaology so that may be all the
same band as the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. David Grisman is the
perfect Deadhead's mandolin (*) player.

(*) I actually originally mistyped that as "manoodlin"... Freudian
slip.
