Although Jerry Garcia never published a memoir, in 1999 Blair Jackson published a well received biography of the legendary guitarist and songwriter. Here are the names appearing in that book - a proxy for Jerry's social network of friends and influences. Here
The Social Network of Jerry Garcia (from "Garcia-An American Life, 2000, published by Penguin Books; since the original post I have tightened the list by only including names that appear in main text; in other words, those names that appear in endnotes and references have been removed.)
