“Kissimmee Kid” is a Vassar tune that found its way to Richard Betts’ “Highway Call” album. Vassar is playing fiddle on that tune and the instrumental that ends this rehearsal. His playing and speaking voice are unmistakable. RIP Vassar!
I learned about The Vassar first by hearing this killer fiddle player on i think it was Buffetts Pink Carnation n a White Sports Coat lp . then into the lp some Jimmy yells Vassar ! and now ive been hearing some of his best stuff for 40 plus years . No wonder Jerry hooked up with him.
Definitely Vassar on Kissimmee Kid and last song ie. "Jerry's Breakdown." You can hear Vassar discussing parts with Jerry concerning Jerry's Breakdown.
@@WakingDreams688 ya dude pure gold. I KNEW I'd heard jerry sing Rank Stranger and it was killing me so I guess I'd heard it at some point but I've listened to this probably 20 times in the last month

Thank you!
Thanks for this.
I think this is 3/8/74, Vassar and Richard Greene on fiddles.
That’s John Hartford on the last jam.
They play a bit of cuckoo bird
I meant Natchez Whistle
Awesome. Where'd this come from - an old tape or is it on CD somewhere?
Cassette, baby!
CD XD
I thought vassar was a part of this group?
i beleve that the movie Grateful Dawg is about a tour in 73 that Vassar went out with Jerry n onitw. on .
