Like I said, we love hanging with the Dark Star folks and their friends! The vibe at the Jubilee can’t be beat.

There was supposed to be thunderstorms, but while Tuna was there the weather was beyond awesome. Not to hot and not too cold.

Then is was back to Meigs County where the boys and I planned on rehearsing for a couple of days in preparation for our tour with Tedeschi/Trucks this summer.

Justin Guip, Jack Casady and myself set up in the most comfortable of situations, the stage of my very own Fur Peace Station.
With the able assistance of our pal Myron Hart, we got to work on some new additions for the summer sets.

The three of us had a blast playing in this most friendly of environments… and we got some good Fur Peace Ranch cooking too!
