'He put the mojo on me': Jerry Garcia's widow, Mountain Girl, opens up about their relationship and life with the Grateful Dead
Carolyn Adams heard Jerry Garcia before she saw him. The future Mrs. Garcia was taking guitar lessons at Dana Morgan's Music Store in Stanford, California, when she heard Jerry's voice coming from the next room."I could hear his voice and somebody else's voice," she tells me."They were talking about chord progressions and all this interesting stuff."
Until then, she says, she had always considered their relationship to be"buddy-buddy." Garcia was married with a daughter of his own, but his wife had moved back to Palo Alto without him. Like Mountain Girl, he was looking for family. Jerry and I were head over heels in love, and radiant with happiness. Our room at the top of the stairs was small, a comforting retreat, with a huge flag covering one wall, and a window looking out over the weedy garden. His pedal steel and a chair the only furniture. The tiny kitchen downstairs was the crossroads, we jammed in there for morning cornflakes and conversation. I jumped in to make a few dinners and keep the pantry stocked.
Mountain Girl and Garcia retreated to a secluded home in Stinson Beach, California, to raise their daughters. But as the Dead began putting out records, Garcia spent most of the time on tour. Under the isolation and pressures of the road, he slipped into cocaine and heroin addiction. Mountain Girl believes he was still suffering from the trauma of seeing his father, Joe, drown on a fishing trip when he was 6.
