Operator was released on American Beauty with PigPen on vocals. I really like the original sound, highlighting pig's voice and light on the instrumentals in the background.


Operator, can you help me, help me if you please.
Give me the right area code and the number that I need.
My rider left upon the midnight flyer,
Singin like a summer breeze.

I think shes somewhere down south, down about baton rouge,
But I just cant remember no number, a number I can use.
Directory dont have it, central done forgot it,
Ive gotta find a number to use.

Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line.
Operator said thats privledged information,
And it aint no business of mine.
Its floodin down in texas, poles are out in utah,
Gotta find a private line.

She could be hangin round the steel mill,
Working in a house of blue lights.
Riding a getaway bus out of portland, talking to the night.
I dont know where shes going, I dont care where shes been,
Long as shes doin it right. long as shes doin it right

Not sure who penned this one...

I'm pretty sure Pig penned this(heehee). The original cut is filled with that ragtime fingerpicking stuff that Garcia did so well.

As far as my listening goes: Ella Fitzgerald Jams with: Harry Edison, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Eddie Davis, Joe Pass, Tommy Flanagan, Ray Brown and Louis Bellson.

That actually is the name of the record, great stuff!

I'd be surprised if pig wrote that one. The lyrics are just too darned concise to be written by someone just dabbling, imo. But I've searched the net for credits and have had no luck. The for sure site appears down. But I think Laura maybe gave em a book for christmas one year that has the answer. I'll look.

Manu Chou's "Clandestino" is spinning as we speak.

I am pretty sure Pig wrote it, actually. Or at any rate he got the cred.

Pig was a bluesman for sure, and as such was knowlagable about the  poetry of song. I mean long before there was Dylan and Hunter there was Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon(weir wrote with him) and Howlin Wolf.

Well, a fellow can be knowledgeable about the poetry of song and not be able to pull off those lyrics, imo. I just didn't know piggers was a wordsmith of that calibur. But I'll take your word for it.

Right at this very moment--"Utopian Dream" by Dimension 5. I'm super excited that the album this song is on is being rereleased; it's one of the holy grail albums of goa trance.
