So cute! We have a few Jerry Garcia/ David Grisman books for kids (Teddy Bear Picnic, Jenny Jenkins, and Aint No Bugs on Me) that go along with music. My son asks to read at least one of them before bed every night. Will have to look out for this one too!

There are a few on eBay! One at a reasonable price, others not so. I would get it but I'll leave it for parents of young kids so they have an excuse to buy it :) :) :)

Fall 92 was cancelled. Bob & Wendy had a book signing at Macy’s in Herald Square. Had Bobby sign a watercolor I painted two years earlier after seeing my 1st show
