... long essay up now about Charles Ives, which wanders far afield ...
Quite the understatement :-)

Thanks for pointing that one out. I'm going to give that one a second read when I have more time to consider it in depth. First impression is that the writer see's the universe in a grain of sand.
I'm with you 100% - his song-history essays are invaluable but he has that defensive fannish tendency to intellectualize the Dead's intentions and style...still, he's an old hand in a way I'll probably never be w/r/t the Dead, so the encyclopedic aspects of the site are definitely worth checking out.
