Howdy all:
I've been kicking around this thought in my head for some time and I'm very interested in hearing some takes from anybody interested in adding their two cents. I think one aspect of the GD, and Jerry in particular, that has appealed to me from day one was/is Jerry's inate ability to play interspersed with other musicians. Particulary, Jerry and Brent's call and response. This especially hit home after watching some of the videos that have been released/re-released of the late 80s, early 90 era. Jerry and Brent trading notes, almost like one knew where the other was going, it's just something that really sings to me about the music. I'm not a professional musician, and my first shows were early nineties, basically in the rafters, so I was never really close enough to stage to see this play out with my eyes until I obtained the vids, but my ears always kinda told me the story on it. Sorry if this sounds corny/irrelevant or I'm not using the correct term call/response, call/answer, but I'd love to hear from some of the musicians, and common folk like me, chime in on it.
