20 traditional songs, ballads & fiddle tunes as played and recorded by David Grisman. He says these pieces were "extremely influential in my development as both a mandolin player and composer during my formative years...they represent a true foundation to the music that I've written during and since those early days." The pieces are presented in two sections, the first with standard melody and chord charts along with tablature, suggested fingerings, discography and David's descriptive commentary for each piece; the second contains the same tunes in notation only. With photos from the Dawg archives throughout. Note/tab. Spiral-bound. 62 pp.
