Hi Jorma, I wish I could have been there for the show. I enjoy your blog and pictures, and set lists! I tune in for food for thought and am never disappointed. You are an eloquent blogger! Looking forward to the December Beacon Theater show.
Listening, dancing singing since the 70’s. Keep up the great work. Kudos to you, Jack, Barry, et al. Kathy
Congrats to you and the crew on 14 years of Fur Peace….NO other place in the world like it in my opinion. Changed me (in a good way) both as a musician and a person.
HOPING to get back sometime again during season 15.
C U in Blue Heaven day after tomorrow Jorma

Jorma, congrats on 14 years ! I have to get there, and I really
Want you to teach me how to play! Ok?
Can’t wait to see you at the Beacon on 12/10.
Until then, rock out steadily and safely:)
Jorma

Great, Joe in dC! Tuna Torch burning as if the only sun in the foggy Italy here today!
Doug, Carlo – yes I thought it was time. Passing tuna on to another generation. Its just amazing if you stop and think about it. His name is Aaron and he plays guitar. I am always forwarding him Tuna U Tube vids. When I saw my first Tuna show back in 1971 I never thought in a million years that one day I would be seeing a Tuna show with a son of mine..wow…Now all I have to do is behave during the show; don’t want to give the kid a bad impression of dad…hah..thanks again Jorma and Jack… a good ride.
