Lyrics: [none]
Music: Nicky Hopkins
A Nicky Hopkins instrumental played with the Jerry Garcia Band in 1975."
Thanks to Chris Jones for alerting me to the background. According to a Nicky Hopkins Discography about the recording of the Quicksilver Messenger Service album "Shady Grove":
"Edward" was the nickname for Nicky Hopkins, given by Brian Jones during some studio sessions at Olympic Studios in London in 1967. Brian was tuning his guitar and asked Nicky to give him an 'E' Nicky was not listening and asking "what are you saying?" after many trials Brian shouted out loud "Give me an 'E' like in Edward"
Hopkins re-recorded a shorter version on his album "Tin Man Was A Dreamer" - simply titled "Edward".
