- "Once upon a time in the late '50s and '60s in the land of West Hollywood,
there stood an idyllic folk-music club called the Ash Grove.
Ed Pearl's Ash Grove folk music club at 8162 Melrose Avenue in
Los Angeles was named after the song. An unassuming venue, built in a
former furniture warehouse, on Melrose Avenue, the Ash Grove eventually
became the epicenter of a California folk music earthquake that radiated
shock waves throughout the country, felt by devotees of folk-rock, the
blues, psychedelia, country-rock and even explosive punk." July 31, 2012

Jeff Knudsen has been an avid Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead and San Francisco Sound music fan for over 40 years.
From a letter to Dead Relix Magazine asking for help cultivating a tape collection, Jeff developed a
relationship with Dick Latvala and many other tapers, building an enormous music collection.  He also taped
many Jerry Garcia shows at venerable institutions like the various Keystones. Jeff loved to share tapes in
a twinkle of an eye.  He was a key player in leaking the Betty Boards back in the day.  A few years ago,
he decided he should pass his collection on to someone who could properly archive and transfer.  After a
few years of offering it publicly, there were no takers. In 2018,  Arizona LL members Jamie and Tom
felt the Knudsen collection was too valuable to let go.  After a flight so bumpy that we almost cried,
and a great visit, albeit too short, with Jeff... 1200 lbs of tapes, gear and cds were lovingly packed
at his Florida homestead.  The next era of his beloved collection is summer camp for the tapes in the
desert... an ongoing process of cataloging and transferring the contents to share.  Born from decades of
Jeff's passion for live music collecting and the archival efforts of many, it's an honor and a privilege to
share the Knudsen Tapes with you.  Enjoy!
