Sad news from the comedy world came yesterday, as Dom DeLuise died yesterday at the age of 76. Most people know him from Cannonball Run and Mel Brooks' movies (. But he had a great career as a voiceover actor for children's movies and tv shows. He was Tiger in An American Tail and Fagan in Oliver and Company, to name a few. He will be missed.

David Grisman was a best friend and musical partner of Jerry Garcia. He wasn't ever officially in the Grateful Dead, but did play his mandolin on "Ripple" on the American Beauty album. David plays blue grass mainly, but he created this unique sound, called dawg music, which incorporates Bluegrass, Bossa Nova and Jazz to create a pretty unique sound.
DGQ will be playing Bonnaroo next month. Check out the sounds of Dawg music. There's not video today, as this is pretty rare stuff. But click the link for a full version to open in a new window.
