Context paragraphs:
Old and in the Way: Old and in the Way was a bluegrass group in 1973.  It was composed of Peter Rowan (guitar, vocals), Vassar Clements (fiddle), Jerry Garcia (banjo, vocals), David Grisman (mandolin, vocals), and John Kahn (string bass).  When the group was forming, it was intended that John Hartford would be the fiddle player.  Based on Hartford's engagements, and Clement's reputational stature in the bluegrass community, Clements became the group's fiddler.

Little Feat: Little Feat is an American rock band formed by singer-songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne in 1969 in Los Angeles.  George disbanded the group due to creative differences in 1979, shortly before his death.  Surviving members reformed Little Feat in 1987, remaining intermittently active to the present.

Helix (band): Helix is a Canadian hard rock/heavy metal band.  They formed in 1974, and are best known for their 1984 single "Rock You".  The original lineup was formed by drummer Bruce Arnold, and consisted of lead vocalist Brian Vollmer, guitarists Ron Watson and Rick "Minstrel" Trembley, keyboardist Don Simmons, and bassist Keith "Bert" Zurbrigg.  However, their most well known lineup, and the one that recorded "Rock You", was the 1980s version of the band: Vollmer on vocals, accompanied by guitarists Brent "The Doctor" Doerner and Paul Hackman, bassist Daryl Gray, and drummer Greg "Fritz" Hinz.  The history of the band has been marked by many lineup changes, with Vollmer being the sole constant member and only remaining member of the original lineup.  Although Hackman was killed in a tour bus accident in 1992, the surviving members of the 1980s lineup reunited in 2009 for an album and have continued to tour since 2011.

The Quests (American band): The Quests were an American garage rock band formed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1964.  Recording for Fenton Records between 1966 and 1967, the group released three singles in their career.  Although the group was hampered by a lyrical controversary surrounding one of their tunes, they achieved regional popularity among their teen fanbase with the original songs "Scream Loud" and "Shadows in the Night".  Since the Quests' disbandment, their material has been well-documented on garage rock compilation albums and prompted surviving members to occasionally reunite.

40 Years: 40 Years is an album by The Dubliners, released in 2002.  To celebrate 40 years together, the band recorded an album and undertook a European tour.  Ronnie Drew and Jim McCann rejoined the group on both the album and the tour.  Twelve new tracks were recorded by the seven surviving members, both present and past, and old recordings by Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke and Bob Lynch also featured on the album.

Rossington Collins Band: The Rossington Collins Band was a southern rock band founded in 1979 by guitarists Allen Collins and Gary Rossington following the 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, of which both had been members.  The band included two other surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkeson.  The band wished to develop their own sound rather than being regarded as a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd, and toward that objective they hired a female lead vocalist, Dale Krantz, who later married Rossington.  The Jacksonville-based band released two albums before disbanding in 1982.  Their biggest hit, "Don't Misunderstand Me," charted in late 1980.

Second-hand Smoke: Second-hand Smoke is a compilation album by the band Sublime.  It was released in 1997 following the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell the year before.  Although this is technically a compilation album, it features some unreleased material as well as recycled and remixed versions of previous tracks.  It is also regarded as their final album.  Even though the surviving members of Sublime (Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh) stated that the band would not make any more albums after Nowell's death, which would result in the band's breakup, MCA bound them by their contract and made the remaining members follow out their contract with the next 3 albums.  Instead of recording more albums with Sublime, Wilson and Gaugh would record together in their later projects Long Beach Dub Allstars and Sublime with Rome.

Old and in the Gray: Old and in the Gray is an album released by the surviving members of Old and in the Way.  It was released on the Acoustic Disc record label in 2002.  Banjoist Jerry Garcia and bassist John Kahn, both of whom were deceased, were replaced by Herb Pedersen and Bryn Bright, respectively.

Martin Tamburovich: Martin Tamburovich (June 6, 1958 – December 2, 2003) was the co-founder of New Alliance Records and vocalist for the short-lived punk/new wave band The Reactionaries.  Tamburovich, along with his San Pedro High School classmates D. Boon, Mike Watt, and George Hurley, formed the band in 1978; they disbanded a year later.  Boon and Watt then formed Minutemen, and Hurley joined them soon after, but Tamburovich would continue to collaborate with his former band members.  Since then, he played with such bands as The Slivers and later The Plebs.  He resided near San Francisco and still kept in touch with the surviving members of The Reactionaries.  On December 2, 2003, Tamburovich died of a bacterial infection.

Fotheringay: Fotheringay was a short-lived British folk rock group, formed in 1970 by singer Sandy Denny on her departure from Fairport Convention.  The band drew its name from her 1968 composition "Fotheringay" about Fotheringhay Castle, in which Mary, Queen of Scots had been imprisoned.  The song originally appeared on the 1969 Fairport Convention album, "What We Did on Our Holidays", Denny's first album with that group.  There have been live performances by a band formed by three of Fotheringay's surviving members with other musicians in 2015 and 2016.
