As I've gotten more into both bluegrass and the Dead, this guy just shows up everywhere. I've actually loved the Bill Monroe song Walls of Time for years, but had no idea he wrote it (or else just didn't know who he was at the time so it didn't register).

Heard a great interview with him where he discusses the genesis of the song: https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1478207688/walls-of-time-bluegrass-podcast/s1-e4-peter-rowan-the-keening-tones

More recently discovered this, another Peter Rowan song that (I think) was first recorded by New Riders of the Purple Sage, but sounds even better in this format

Just seems like an all around cool guy, good songwriter, good musician, possibly underappreciated?
