Summary

Grateful Dead dorkout with Elizabeth Upton – EP 854Elizabeth Upton is a musicologist and I learned, FINALLY, about the Grateful Dead. We weed off into the history of a lot of other music but dang… it’s a good one. You will love. Every November and December I ask that you NOT donate to the Dork Forest but find your local food bank and give as much as you can to them. FeedingAmerica.com has a listing OR google “your town” and “food bank.” I believe in you. If you’re set up to give to me these two months – your cash goes to LA’s Food Bank. Thanks so much for all your support and take care of each other out there. Extra TDF/standup and a storytelling album are available here: ⁠⁠⁠https://thedorkforest.bandcamp.com/⁠⁠⁠ YouTube has the videos: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@JackieKashianInc⁠⁠⁠ And it's @jackiekashian on all the social mediaz. Audio and Video by Patrick Brady Music is by Mike Ruekberg
