In January 1985, at the NAMM Show, the musical instrument trade show in Anaheim [near Disneyland], I had just met David Grisman, who was there demonstrating a signature mandolin a company was putting out for him. I happened to have a guitar, am a fan of his, and knew he liked Django. So I asked, “Do you want to play a couple tunes together?” While ...
Peeples: Now, before the Fogelberg album, Chris and Herb had recorded “Morning Sky” and “Desert Rose” in 1982 and 1984. Tell me how the Desert Rose Bandcame to be. Jorgenson:Well, before that time, I was friends with Bill, and he also was in a band with me – I had a band called the Cheatin’ Hearts. It was Bill Bryson, Steve Duncan [ex-Stone Canyon ...
Peeples:There’s that classic photo of the band sitting with your gear out in front of the Palomino on Lankershim in North Hollywood. Jorgenson:Yes; that was taken by the fantastic Western photographer Jay Dusard. He did our first album cover and then took that shot in front of the Palomino. I think on the marquee it says, “Keith Richards’ Birthday ...
Peeples:Chris wrote about the anger management issue he had and how it affected him personally and professionally. He recounted a few beefs with bandmates, some fistfights even, occasionally, along the way. You were in Desert Rose Band with him a bit later in his career, so he’d been through a lot of tumultuous stuff by that time. But I’m curious t...

You would pay five dollars to wrestle Ginger the Bear. Peeples:Uh-oh. Jorgenson:When we pulled in there for soundcheck, there were guys there who were waiting for us. They saw us as these interlopers from...
Peeples:What was your feeling toward the end? Jorgenson:I left in 1991, I believe, a couple of years before Chris decided to stop. We were recording an album called “True Love” and I wasn’t happy with the production, the direction. Tony Brown was the producer, who I had worked for many times with other artists, and he was the right producer on thos...
Peeples:Chris writes about how the Troubadour gig you guys played [October 23, 2017] had to be bumped a week because, as originally scheduled, it wound up being the day set for his funeral. That was a great show. Jorgenson:That’s right. The Troubadour show was really interesting. Since it was local, I was supposed to bring my own keyboard, because ...
Peeples: I asked Herb, “Did you read Chris’s book?” “Nah, I lived it,” he said [laughs]. But then we had a really nice talk about it. What’s yourtake on “Time Between,” after reading it? Jorgenson:Well, I knew how hard Chris worked on it, and I could tell it was very, very crafted and edited really well. I know his daughter helped him with the edit...
Peeples:Now fast-forwarding to the pandemic, you and Herb and Chris finally got together again got together on November 17, 2020, the day “Time Between” was published [also Gene Clark’s birthday], and streamed a video performance of a few tunes, and you were a little rusty, weren’t you? Jorgenson:Oh, horribly rusty. I’m not the kind of person who c...
