Ethnomusicologist Mickey Hart Gives Us The World
Christine Natanael, Reflex, February 1989
THIS IS THE story of a recordist – a man that has made it his business to preserve moments in time and memories of his travels, while at the same time making a chronicle of the different soundscapes that comprise the fabric of the world's music. This is the other side of a man named Mickey Hart, who, as the percussionist for the Grateful Dead, has made some of the most easily recognizable music of the 20th century.
