I am very proud to offer this interview to all of you and super proud to bring David Grisman into the Lessons With Marcel family! We went for nearly 2 hours that day and Marcel has artistically edited it down to this brilliant 25 minutes. Perhaps Marcel will release bonus footage of this interview on his extras channel one day. I was truly blown away by some of Dawg's responses -- especially his comments on his version of "Minor Swing" and his thoughts about changing licks to make them easier to play. I always find David's fingerings to make a lot of sense and I was happy to hear him comment on that. Also, Andy Hatfield, Hayes Griffin, and Marcel did a great job overdubbing the harmony parts to "Ricochet!" I am grateful to be a part of the LWM team!

Well done. 👌🏻😎👊🏻❤️
David is a lovely human. In 1996 I had a life threatening car accident. 3 weeks ICU and 3 months on a ward. A friend sent an email to David telling him I was a big fan in a bad way and he sent me a Cd with a beautiful uplifting message. I am so grateful for that connection.
Thank You for this awesome interview. I first discovered David Grisman records in 1978.
Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Thanks so much for this! 🎶😎🎶
Pride in the mention of Vassar, He's a great uncle of mine
Absolute legend. One of the finest musicians of all time.
These are so beautifully edited together. Great job!
David is an Musical Treasure. Thank you for this. Those that know, know but more should.
This was exceptionally produced!
Marcel, you ROCK! Mando girl here 😊
Thank you so much for this Excellent Interview !! David Grisman is going to sell a bunch of stuff from his site to me! I did not know about that website. Has some wonderful music on it !!
The ethos of Dawg is comforting and inspiring. Love that dude!
wow! thank you for this interview... always a treat to hear dawg speak....
Take my preemptive algorithm boosting upvote energy (/ o_o)/
I was fortunate enough to be at the Larry Rice Benefit on that Sunday night in Tallahassee. A wonderful night of music. Also have been enjoying Mickey & his music for many years. Great interview! Thank you for this!!!
Well this is the coolest interview ever. Thanks.
I'm a Dawg pup (disciple and follower), too! Thanks for doing this, guys.
Long time fan of the Dawg. I mean long, long time. I was privileged to attend one of his classes at the Sunset Center in Carmel, Calif. . He divided the group into those who read music and those who were "ear" players and "tab" players. I sat alone , but David made me feel right at home. Great lesson, I learned more in a couple hours than in the previous couple years. Legendary player, superb teacher, generous and caring; a gentleman with heart. Thanks so much for the video, brought back a lot of memories.
Interviewing THE Dawg. The G.O.A.T. I’m lucky to have Mickey as my mandolin teacher and he’s so much more than a teacher. Besides being a guitar and mandolin savant he’s also a good person… Great interview Mickey and Marcel…

Sheer Joy coming across this today. I’ve been honored twice to have a brief Meet & Greet with Dawg. The man has an incredibly cool personality and aura of grace which impacts you at a soulful led level. 🎉❤️🙏🌹📚
This flew by, I would watch the uncut 2 hours for sure!
This was one of my all time favorite David Grisman interviews. Not only is David Grisman one of the coolest people around, mickey is an exceptional interviewer and a joy to watch and listen to. It was so great to learn the origin of the legendary pizza tapes album and minor swing and hear some of the stories from days gone by but it was really nice learning how the Dawg approaches both learning old tunes and coming up with compositions of his own. Lots of great wisdom packed into 25 minutes! Mickey should definitely do more interviews! (Bonus points for the bomb ass video editing and for the LWM version of Ricochet!)

Love David’s music and what he’s all about. Great stuff y’all. Thanks!!
Keep on keepin' acoustic music alive! Love the channel and this interview, thank you!
Interesting. I liked the comment that it's really hard to avoid being yourself. It's amazing, though, the people who would try to force you to be otherwise. That's a big part of the reason I fell out of the music business, and why still to this day I'm fighting the same old battles to be able to remain myself. I've been doing this for 40 years. In those days especially it was different for a woman. It still is. Liked Soldier's Joy. Well seasoned, like a fine wine. That kind of sound only comes with time. Amazing all the work David did as time went on, after I fell out of it. Movies? My goodness - Also fascinating to hear about the evolution and crossing of paths between bluegrass and jazz. I was an early observer. I had hitchhiked to the Southeast, wound up in Tennessee from California to learn bluegrass and wound up meeting a jazz guitarist in Knoxville who turned me onto it. This was about the same time David and Tony's Dawg music began picking up. I wound up making a 180 deg. turn and heading back to California to try to learn jazz. Those were the days. Hitchhiking 3000 miles was a drop in the bucket. Now every day when I wake up I'm just grateful to have another day to get up off the couch. Enjoyed listening, nice interview. Thanks for sharing.
awesome interview, thanks! Love the Dawg!

I enjoyed this. Will be making use of both your websites. I noticed that David has a recording of Billy Strings and Don Julin from 2013. I was a regular attendee of Folk Alliance in Kansas City and attended the year that Billy and Don did. I ended up sitting through their showcase and got some great photos of the pair. Billy is a very expressive player.
That was a really interesting and well done interview. Thanks...oj

Dawg has shared so much great music over the years. He has recorded with so many musical icons ! He has been a major factor in bringing the instrument back to life in the United States . How many mandolin players will say , " I picked up the mandolin because I heard David Grisman's 1st Album ?
Legendary
That was amazing,thank you all so much for this ! 🙏 can’t wait for more !!
Thanks David! Thanks for enriching our lives and inspiring us. I tried to copy my heroes as well. You and Tony!
My favorite mandolin player, and the first one I ever recognized by ear. I was listening to Bonnie Raitt's version of "Louise" and thought, "You know, that sounds like David Grisman." And I was right! So distinct, so melodic, and so beautiful.

Mickey…This is a fabulous interview. …You were absolutely amazing…Bringing out the best in DAWG!!!
My hero
the GOAT!!!!
Two amazing musicians and quite possibly even better human beings. Love the comradery of the Blue Grass community.
This is an important document of music history. You both should be proud for how this ended up and for you honoring and for David being the musical force and producer mind he has maintained. Such a special document in so many ways. Thank you. This was rich.
I could scarecely believe the video when I saw it pop up haha. It was hearing the Pizza Tapes that started my journey into all this type of music so it was great to see this interview. That was fanstastic, thank you for uploading!
This is great! I got to see him play and teach at the Tacoma Wintergrass festivals 20 years ago. And the other week I found a copy of "Dawgwood" out in the wild, great disc!
This was so good
Wow, such a great interview and insight. I didn't even know about the AcousticDisc releases until it popped up on my Instagram feed. And thoroughly enjoying the Tony & Wyatt Rice Together release. Cheers Y'all 👏👏👏👏

Marcel, This doesn't relate to this video but I wonder why you do not mention or study Clarence White as you do others like Tony Rice. I watched Tony play live several times and he does have a unique style. Seems as though he goes out of his way to make things difficult at times to show off his abilities, which are amazing. First guy I have ever seen use his little finger to form an A shaped bar cord. Ouch. Not anything i would encourage a beginner to copy. David Grisman sure did respect Clarence. He was a trail blazer for many many flatpickers. More than likely you will not read this but it is the only way for me to reach out. Can't find an e-mail for you and I do not subscribe to any social media nor do I want to. Love your channel.

Most of us are too young to have seen Clarence, and the recorded material is limited, with very little [non-Byrds] video besides Muleskinner [w Grisman]. Sandy Rothman has done his best to provide some audio and he has also written many articles here & there [I love his CD with Steve Pottier= Bluegrass Guitar Duets, even if Sandy has focused on mandolin since]. Russ Barenberg did a labor of love book of tab of Clarence recordings, and also there is a book of tab and stories by Roland & Diane. Trail Blazer indeed!
