We got in from Indiana in time for me to get a drone flight in by the hotel… overlooking the river.

We got together with Derek and Susan and the gang to rehearse Marty Balin’s great song 3/5’s Of A Mile In Ten Seconds.

Marty would have loved this rendition of his tune...

    Thanks for the link. It was great to see “3/5’s of a Mile in 10 Seconds” again.
    Jorma, glad you’re having a great time. You’re in the home stretch. Keep on Truckin’!

    Here’s hoping Tuna give a nod to “Surrealist Pillow” at the Golden Gate Park show

    Can’t wait to hear 3/5 th’s of a mile in 10 seconds. Haven’t been able to find it yet on the internet. I’m guessing Susan sang lead? Or was it Michael?

    I just watched it on a ‘Hot Tuna Live’ post on Facebook. They totally nailed it. I shared it onto my FB wall and certainly it will be on uTube.

    Where is the indianapolis setlist? My son and I went and had an excellent time! I turned him on to Tuna a few years ago. He really enjoyed Jack’s bass solos. BTW, I thought it was cool that the first song was In The Kingdom. Wasn’t expecting that.
