Loading... Please wait...Monkey and Engineer Children's Book.
Monkey and the Engineer is illustrated by David Opie with his quirky and artful eye.
Originally a Jesse Fuller folk piece, “Monkey and the Engineer” was popularized
by the GRATEFUL DEAD as a cover song. It was recorded live on the LP “Reckoning”
in 1980 and played on tour for over 20 years. The lyrics tell the tale of a mischievous
but lovable pet who leaves his owner with a “worried mind” when he makes off
with a big locomotive. Grateful Dead fans and music historians will appreciate this book
and rejoice in sharing it with the next generation of music lovers. This edition includes a
biography on Jesse Fuller and a reprint of his original sheet music.
