The Silver Snarling Trumpet

The Silver Snarling Trumpet is the long-lost manuscript of Robert Hunter, co-founder and primary lyricist of the Grateful Dead, capturing his vivid recollections of the early 1960s Palo Alto scene that fostered his collaboration with Jerry Garcia. Through humorous and insightful narratives, Hunter recounts the communal, artistic spirit of his youth, detailing their adventures from coffee shop gatherings to explorative road trips. This remarkable work, enhanced by a foreword from John Mayer and contributions from Dennis McNally and Brigid Meier, celebrates the creativity and camaraderie of a pivotal moment in music history, offering a deeper understanding of Hunter's artistic legacy.
