I’m sitting here backstage at the Fur Peace Station listening to Tom Rush play Jazzman. A concert at my home… so to speak. Life is good indeed…
Sitting here thinking about what has transpired so far this summer and I though I’d share it in pictures.

Good times….
I remember Ron.@susan ansanelli
I go back a long time too, remember Ron Dudley ? I think that was his name. He would do the announcements / introductions for tuna. I always looked forward too how he would start the shows. ” Our hero, a man who knows how to play the guitar, it’s Jorma” is just one classic from him.
THEN there were the Stuyvesant boys, and Peter Jester may he RIP.
John B.: It may be the Max Ernst painting, which I commented on earlier in this thread.
“The Tree of Life” was the title given to more than one painting, done by more than one Artist:
For instance: Klimt did a painting that he titled “The Tree of Life”,(1905).
“The Birth of Venus” was painted by several different Artists, during several different periods of art styles.
We will find the Painting you are referring to.
I suggest that you become “a member” of MOMA. The going cost of individual admission to MOMA is $25.
(It’s not “a suggested donation price” — it’s firm pricing, unlike the Met.)
If you join, for a tax-deductible fee of $75. per year, you get unlimited admission and one guest pass per membership year.
As a member, you have access to ask and receive answers from the museum’s staff of curators.
(Membership has its privileges.)
Memory is such a suggestive endeavor:
When you first described the Painting, it sounded familiar.
I could picture it, in my mind’s eye.
Is it because I saw it somewhere and then stored that memory of it — or was it because my imagination joined-up with a few active cylinders, that are still firing-up in my cerebral cortex?
I remembered that trip I took, as being in the early/mid 1970’s.
Now, having thought about my friend who was upstairs tripping while watching the T.V. news weather report and vociferously expressing her inner-most feelings about it:
I now can remember that it must have been in 1977, because that’s when Anita Bryant was kicking-up an anti-homosexual fuss, down in Dade County Florida.
Anyway: Both MOMA and the Guggi have been renovated and if you haven’t been to either/or since the mid-1970’s — you’re going to like the new improvements therein.
You know Barb I saw that painting in 1975 or 1976 and I know we went to the MET and I thought MOMA but it may have been the Guggenheim. You mentioned a Max ERnst. I looked him up and found that the Guggenheim had a collection of his work on display in 1975. My search continues . Onward! @Barbara Jacobs
I saw that painting somewhere back around 1975 0r 76. For sure we went to the Met because I know that we saw Gurnica there . And we went to MOMA also . Will definitely go up in October and check out Hide and Seek . @Barbara Jacobs
I agree with you on that one Richard . First the acoustic show and then the next night electric at the Beacon. I will do my best to get tickets a week from this Friday. Hope they don’t sell out on me ! @Richard
What a real great way to see HT in November..One night acoustic and the other electric..Going to be fantastic..3rd row sest for the acoustic and 5th row electric..Better get yours before they sell out!!!
@Barbara Jacobs
I was busted! There was no splinter. I was caught-up in the imagined splinter
anxiety for a couple of hours, until my friend arrived.
I think he was also tipped-off because another friend was tripping, upstairs.
She was watching the National news on T.V.
She started yelling, over and over again:
“THERE’S A FROST IN FLORIDA — YOU’RE NOT GONNA GET ANY F*CKING ORANGES!!!”
So, it’s not a Dali, not Max Ernst. It could be a Modernist painting. Many Modernists used optical illusion in their artwork.
Not for nothin’, but:
Somewhere back in the early/mid-1970’s, I was walking barefoot while tripping. I was suddenly convinced that I had gotten a splinter on the bottom of my foot.
A friend arrived at the house (he wasn’t tripping and didn’t know that I was.)
He thoroughly examined my foot and could not find even the smallest trace of a splinter or any other injury. He finally looked me in the eye and said:
“Hey, Barbara — ARE YOU TRIPPING???!!!”
@John B
I will johno. This October I will head into the the city. It boggles the mind doesn’t it that people can create something like that. I agree with you also regarding musicians and even the great authors . I walk away from it all shaking my head in amazement . I will tell you though that the feedback from my fellow Tuna fans was much better then what I got from museum curators a couple a years ago when I tried to find out about that painting .Artists create things of great beauty where none existed before. @johno
@IB Keaton
That’s it. At least that’s the one I am referring to. John B, you must see “Hide and Seek” in person. It’s big and along with the vibrant colors and amazing detail – it envelopes you and pulls you in. A small 2″x2″ online copy doesn’t do it justice. When I saw it – it reminded me of the song “Embryonic Journey”.
Thank you IB but I don’t think that is the one. The one that I am looking for from a distance looks like a regular tree but when you get close up the entire painting is made up of faces . The trunk; branches and leaves. When we go into the city in the fall I will be sure to look at Hide And Seek just to be sure. My search continues…….. @IB Keaton
Carole Eastham-Sh…yup we are neighbors. Yes I have been to Reston town Ctr before as well. Neat place. Another good place out here for live tunes is Tarara Winery out in Leesburg..outdoors…been there couple times this summer. Birchmere..Tuna seems to do that each year..dinner place…they just played there; acoustic in June. State is better in Falls church.. The Rams Head in Annap, MD is also cool. First time I saw HT was 1971 or so in nYC growing up…been at it since then whenever I can. The annual Beacon shows are a great hit…Yes I remember xing border into Canada in Holton Maine…also riding the rails across Newfie Land from Port Aux Baix to St Johns, stopping at a whaling town on the north coast..good times 4 sure.
Thanks johno . @johno
I have a friend who grew up in Canarsie that loved Hot Tuna. I took her to a Covention Hall show in Asbury Park . The crowd out front got really unruly with lots of pushing and shoving . Everyone was trying to stay right in front of the doors so they could be amongst the first in. She started to hyperventilate and almost went down on the floor . Never experienced that before or afterward really at a Tuna Show.
Harvey has been gone for 10-15 yrs ! OMG I can’t believe that. Where is the time going and why is it going there so fast? I didn’t know Harvey but we always got a kick out of him . @johno
Hey John…
As I recall… Harvey passed around 2008. It just seems longer. His pain is over…
jorma
Great trip! Thanks for the memories.
Hi johno
That’s ok, good old Starrett City, I used to live there too, that’s where I met him and his side kick Rabbi (Gary Scott), may he rest in peace also.
Alot of good memories.
@Hogan
I’m not good at time – it seemed like 10-15 years age. I used to drive Harvey home all the time, he lived in Brooklyn, right off the Belt Pkwy. Those were the days! He really loved Jorma. We all did. It’ll never happen again.
Hogan: I believe that Bird knows and he is smiling right now.@Hogan
Hogan:
I think that concert at Merkin Hall took place around 1999/2000.
It could have been a couple of years later, the “GrassJam” concert at Jones Beach was held in 2002. (I’m fuzzy on dates/years. I didn’t keep a journal and now I would have been happy to have a yearly record of where I was and what I was doing.
Only when I was working on a tour, do I have my W-2’s to confirm my whereabouts.)
@Hogan
Hi johno,
I’m sorry but I think you might have your dates mixed up on The Byrd..I believe it was in 2008 he passed, and yes he was one of a kind… and would be smiling if he knew he was even being discussed on Jorma’s blog…RIP
Hogan
🙂
John B.: johno has filled us in on the Painting, so you can contact (via e-mail) MOMA, describe it ask their Curator for the name of the Painter and the Artist.
Also, Harvey was a.k.a. “Bird”.
Sorry to hear that he passed.
I guess the last time I saw him, was at the Jerry Garcia tribute concert at Merkin Hall, Lincoln Center. Jorma did a nice performance there. Tony Trishka opened his performance with his “Name that tune segment”.
Tony started playing around and I knew within a few notes that the song was “Cumberland Blues”.
I tried to control myself and kept quiet, just to give the audience a chance to name it.
One guy took a guess, Tony said: “No, I’ll play some more of it” and after a couple of notes, I just gave it right up: “Cumberland Blues”.
Tony looked into the audience and said: “Did somebody say “Cumberland Blues?!!”.
Everybody pointed at me and Tony said: “That’s very, very good!” I got a major round of applause.
So, I stood up up and thanked the audience.
Not long after that concert, I saw Jorma backstage at Jones Beach, at the “Grass Fest” (or whatever it was titled). Jorma told me that I “should have asked for a production credit” on the radio simulcast.
(I was there with Peter Rowan, who advised me to recuse myself from further Tony
“Name this tune” concert segments.)
@John B
Hey Joe – that’s the name of a song – they’ll rotate them every so often. But I’m an art nut too. I think music is an art as well, and Hot Tuna are Masters – like Rembrandt or Cezanne(one of my favs.) But living out in Stony Brook I don’t get into the city as much as I used to when I lived there. BTW, you were asking about Harvey. I was friends w/ Harv(what I used to call him. He was also aka “The Bird”. He was a funny guy – a real character. Back in the day(early 70’s) we were all tryin to get on “the list” – the backstage list. There was a whole bunch of us that were on it, Harvey was always on it. FYI, Harvey passed on into the next world about 15-20 years ago. May he RIP.
John B et al – Not to break up your chat, but for clarity’s sake – The painting is “Hide and Seek” by an artist named Pavel Tchelitchew (sp?), a NYC artist. It used to be on an upper floor of MOMA with a viewing bench so you could sit and be mesmerized. It is about 7 feet square.
@joe in dc
Hi there Joe in DC!! I would say we would be neighbors 🙂 Sterling IS quite close!! I am very familiar with Reston. My doc is @ Reston Hospital. We also frequent Reston Towncenter depending on who’s playing on ant particular Saturday evening– it’s a nice little setup there. I was going to see Deanna Bogart one Saturday nite but we were forecasted to have a wicked thunderstorm w strong winds that same evening— well, needless to say the storms never arrived and ergo I never arrived @ Deanna’s performance,, I was so bummed. First time I saw Hot Tuna was in the early 80’s @ the Marble Bar in Baltimore. I love the older venues– in 2010 I was still on the mend with back surgery and was very mobile at the time. I have lived in Chantilly since 2005 and am very anxious to experience the Birchmere.. preferably listening to and watching Hot Tuna. You had to have had a fascinating journey hitchhiking to Maine and onto Newfoundland!!!!.
Dali had to have been tripping on something to come up with some of those paintings!@Barbara Jacobs
@johno Every now and then johno I look for it online or when we go into the city.I have It could have been MOMA but my last time there which was around the holidays last year I couldn’t find it. Like Barb said they move these things around and it could be in storage . Hopefully I will come across it again. Some of that stuff is really amazing though isn’t it johno?
Carole Eastham-Sh.. sounds like we are neighbors. I live just north of you in Sterling. Used to live in Leesburg. My son used to live in Chantilly. I work in Reston. I have been in Loudoun Cty area for 20 years. Do you see Tuna/Jorma at Birchmere or State when they play local? I prefer Sate, but Tuna has not played there since summer 2010, go figure. Old venue, room to Tuna dance. Floyd is maybe 3 hours south. I did not attend this year even though Tuna played cause I went up to Stroudsberg PA and Harrisburg PA earlier that week for the tuna shows. I have not been to Maine since the 1970’s when I hitched thru on my way to Newfoundland..beautiful state, always said I will return, but thats life.
@John B
I think I know the piece you’re referring to. I saw it about 10 years ago at Moma – the Modern. It was big 3’x3′ and was bright, reds, oranges, and yellows. It was a tree with faces and babies – really outrageous. It was some obscure artist. I don’t know if it’s on display.
I’m thinking it might be a painting by Max Ernst:
“Latin:1943”@John B
It must be by one of the Surrealist painters. The public began their major fascination with Surrealism during the early 70’s.
(Salvador Dali was living in Manhattan, at that time. Google his life in Manhattan.
I got to meet him, once. Very trippy!)
I also met Groucho Marks around the same time. Manhattan had a few major Masters of various Art-forms, in residence back in those days.@John B
@John B
I don’t know. RIP.
(Is Harvey a.k.a.:”Bird”? I enjoyed Bird, he was a real character.
I’m out of the loop on this.)
Dali I have seen and I don’t think it was his work. I thought it was by Bosch but haven’t come across it. When I saw it was in the early 70s ; no later then 75. I remember that the Met had “gurnica” on display at the time. Not even sure it was the Met though. Thanks anyway Barb.
Thank you. Perhaps you can tell me what happened to Harvey? @Barbara Jacobs
@John B
John B.:
That description sounds like it’s a painting from one of the the Surrealist painters.
Google: “Salvador Dali”. (He was the most extreme of the Surrealist painters.)
If you like his work, there’s a Dali Museum in Spain. (if you ever go to Spain — check it out. Crazy art-works there!)
Google: “Surrealist Artists” and see if you can locate the Painting.
(Google is a great resource for research: Art History research is at your fingertips.)
Also Google “MOMA”, the Museum of Modern Art, in Manhattan.
The Met Museum has a huge collection of Art and Paintings in their storage rooms and many are brought out of their storage and exhibited for a while and then returned to storage. I don’t know if the Painting you described is part of the “permanent collection”, which are the Paintings that are always on display there.
The Frick Museum has free admission on Sunday mornings. Get there before noon and stay for a few hours. (Unlike The Met, the Frick can be taken-in during a few hours. It’s my favorite museum in Manhattan.)
THIS HAS BEEN AN ART HISTORY DISCUSSION.
Thanks for the space, Jorma!
Hello Jorma, im a New Yorker who grew up on Tuna, I Live in Oklahoma now and have been here forever, the one and only time that you guys were coming here to play you cancelled…..I was so depressed..Not many great bands come here…..please come here to play…………thanks , John
Hey John…
We were at Cain’s Ballroom a couple of years ago… we’ll be back.
Hey Jorma was it a bit chilly this morning there at the Ranch? The leaves of the Black Gum tree should start to turn bright red or orange very soon. Thanks for posting up the pictures on the blog . I liked the ones of the River Queen. One of the items on my bucket list is to take a cruise on a boat such as that . Enjoy the rest of the summer and I will see you at some of the east coast dates in the Fall.
That sounds good. I will visit the Frick and the Neues this fall . My friend and I try to visit the MET every year . I have a question for you about a particular painting that I saw almost 40 yrs ago . I will describe it to you and perhaps you would know of it and be able to tell me where I can find it. I think it was at the Met but I am not sure. It was a painting of a tree . I am not sure what the medium was but the entire tree was made up of tiny human faces. The trunk ; the branches and the leaves . Over the decades I have tried to locate that painting and have never been able to find it again. @Barbara Jacobs
John B.: I’m going to be out of town for the upcoming Tuna shows at The Beacon.
During the past several years, whenever I made plans to attend — I got stuck and had flights cancelled from out-of-town.
Last year, I was in town but had some business to attend to: I arrived late on the first night and had to leave early. Was not able to go to the second night.
A bit/bite of Tuna is better than none at all.
Perhaps we can meet before the Tuna Beacon shows in 2014:
We can go to the Frick and then to The MET. After, we can walk across town through Central Park to The Beacon.
John B:@John B
No, I’m not a big fan of Edvard Munch.
I do like the other Expressionists and the Secessionists, particularly Gustav Klimt.
You can view their work at the Neues Gallery (across Fifth Ave., from The Met.)
However, so many great paintings, sculpture, Decorative Arts, Costume designs and Antiquities can now be viewed for free, at The Met.
It turns out that it was built on Public property, at the Eastern edge of Central Park and the $20 admission fee they were charging was only “a suggestion”. (Yeah, right.)
I admire the work of The Impressionists, especially the Europeans and Renoir.
I also love the Old Masters and the Flemish great painters:
Vermeer is the greatest and the Vermeer exhibit at The Met was magnificent. (if not collected in its entirety: three Vermeers are on display at The Frick and they are under orders from Frick’s estate, to never be loaned-out to any other museum.)
Vermeer was among the several paintings stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston during the biggest Art heist in history.
I recommend a visit to The Frick Collection (a few blocks down from The MET, on Fifth Ave.)
WE had so much fun on our soccer trips to WAGS and many others . I was a soccer dad! Montana is indeed Gods country . I have visited Glacier Nat’l Park, Billings and a few other places. Great country that we live in. Unfortunately I missed the Ocean City show. After seeing the set list I was sorry I chose not to go. Ocean City is a quick ride for me straight down the Garden State Parkway. I think it wonderful that Jorma shares whats going on in his life with us. Back in the day I never would have thought it possible to communicate with him and make friends with fellow Tuna travelers from around the country. Life is Good. @Carole Eastham-Shera
@John B
John B– I’ll watch carefully for the WAGS Tournament info as the next season hits– my next door neighbor’s daughter plays soccer and I wouldn’t be surprised if she is aware of the schedule of play for the teams. Impressive that it’s teams come worldwide to participate. I was raised in Croton-on-Hudson, NY until I graduated from college and moved onto Missoula, Montana– now that was God’s country for me!! The palate of beauty there certainly had to come from a ‘higher power’ which was breathtaking!! Were u able to make the Ocean City gig this summer? I wasn’t able. However I did make Clearwater on the Hudson and was excellent– I was fortunate enough to have happened upon Jorma there. He is such a man of
good substance bb
Barb did you get over to the MET when they had “the Scream ” on display? I love that place . Anyone making plans for the Beacon ? @Barbara Jacobs
I raised my family at the New Jersey shore Carole . Every year there is a huge womens soccer tournament in your area called Washington Area Girls Soccer or WAGS. Teams from all over the country come to compete. It was a great time. @Carole Eastham-Shera
George Henn ; John B here. When did Harvey pass away? I always got a kick out of him. Nice guy. @George Henn
@Carole Eastham-Shera
Thanks for the photo with Harvey in the background…was just looking at his Hot Tuna business card the other day. I miss him, too.
The music is happening down here on the Gulf Coast sure wish yall could do something down here
Jorma,
I enjoy reading about your travels and looking at your pictures. Take care of my friend Myron. Don’t let him talk too much.
In reading your set notes I wonder why you never play “Just Because”? One of my favorites. Have it on my phone.
I like some of your sayings wanted to pass on one of my favorites from Jimmy Buffet, “Indecision may or may not be my problem”
We live on the river and enjoyed the American Queen passing our house last week too.
Take care and thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Lantz Repp, Hockingport
Hey Lantz
Just Because is always waiting in the wings… great to hear from some of the neighbors here… just drove through Hockingport on my bike the other day. Beeyootiful!
Hey Jorma, Sorry off subject, but I had to share that Jody Payne- Willie Nelsons Guitarist for over 35 years passed on Friday down here in Stapleton Alabama. He was a great man, fine musician and a wonderful teacher to so many of us. Thanks for letting me share yall. They be jammin in Heaven !
@John B
@John B –John, you must have lived in the Chantilly area with your daughter’s soccer team playing vs. Chantilly?? I enjoy living in Chantilly and have been here only since ’05. Soccer is a not only a skillful challenging sport ,,but a physically rough one at that (regardless of gender). My youngest son (36yrs old) continues to STILL play rugby on the Bona Alumni team!! Ya think he was a student there still!! Just as a post-script,, with living in Virginia I can’t believe that I missed Floyd Fest!! It can’t be that far from Chantilly. Glad you gave the head’s up re: your daughter playing the soccer matches. ‘Chantilly Carole’
I see that many commenters here are Art Lovers.
I look at Jorma’s talent as a photographer and appreciate it, in all its various elements:
His landscape photography is masterful. Those greens and blues are tasty:
I can see, feel and almost reach out and touch them, while breathing-in the air
surrounding Jorma as he snapped each shot.
His portrait photography is beautiful and I love how its done in a manner that can be described as “painterly”:
“My girls at the amusement park in Old Orchard Beach, Maine”
“Glory on the porch of the Edgartown Inn MV” (the subject of that portrait is “Old Glory”, our American flag.)
I spent a year studying Art History in Paris, when I was young.
It was wonderful. I left it for a life of other education, lessons and adventures.
My analysis of Jorma’s photography talent is based on that and my accumulated knowledge acquired in the Art museums I’ve visited around the world.
I soaked it all up and continue to enjoy Art, painting and photography.
Especially the on-the-road photography that Jorma has perfected ,in a way in which I’ve never encountered before.
Looks like a fantastic summer! Glad you are playing interlocken. I am making the trek to VA for this great festival and spending some time with my brother (second chances). Otherwise I probably would have skipped it. The fact that you are playing makes ever so much sweeter 🙂 Now if Jack could make the trek I would lose all control 🙂
Did we lose Harvey?
My daughter used to play soccer against teams from Chantilly Carole @Carole Eastham-Shera
Thanks for opening the door into your Summer….made me smile
Dear Jorma,
Thanks so much for the picture. I just recently came across a video on You Tube of you, Jack, Bruce Hornsby and The Band playing The Weight from Woodstock 1994 and Jack even sings but there is a brief cameo of him dancing on the side of the stage. He was always his happiest when he was with you or in Tuna run ins even when Bib was around. He was a big part of my life when I was younger and over the years he would always just pop in and say hi. I was able to get back in touch with him just before he passed thanks to someone who worked for you at the Utica show some years back. I think of him often and miss him especially now that I’ve been back going to shows, but I’m glad he’s not struggling with those demons anymore and if you know him you know that he is out there somewhere chewing someone down in price for something…lol…
Enjoy the rest of your summer with your fammily it looks like your having a great time. Tell Zack think Harley…ha ha ha..kids today-what are you gonna do….
Enjoy and take care
See you at the shows
Hogan
🙂
Jorma, seeing your smiling face on the beach gives me joy. Serenity & peace are not guaranteed to anyone, but it looks like you’ve achieved something close. It gives me hope that if I just keep doing the right thing, that I might have a chance at enjoying a simple, rewarding life down the road. Blessings!
That is the single most coolest pictures of you I have ever seen. It is amazing how much we know. What we think we know, And then besed on the magnetic fields of the eath, how little we know, YOur hace is so inspiring to me. Just like water song, somthing about that song touched me at a level i never knew existed. raising chilfren and all. YOu realize how much you have left at the end of the day. G-d you are a cool guy. I wish that I knew how to do this life without my anscestors in this world today. I have nothing on you.
@Jorma What a wonderful and thoughtful way for you to share your summer sojourns with the photos!! I really enjoyed the Saco shots– looks very tranquil indeed. The sky was certainly casting it’s glow on the water that day with a beautiful view from the cottage– and you were even so kind to include the pics of OOB!! I love the pier there. As a ‘btw..’, I too have been at Pirates Cove as well and have done miserably!
In a couple of weeks I’ll be heading to our place in Maine near China Lake and looking forward to the sound of loons 🙂 My home is in Chantilly, Virginia and the driving up in Maine is quite different than the I-95 corridor down here!! As a postscript here– I meant to tell you that there is an EXCELLENT Deli off I-84 next time you go to the New England by-ways- it’s called Reins New York Style Deli. It’s an easy on/off location fitting for a bus off EXIT 65 on 84 east or west in Vernon, CT. Enjoy these days of summer’s R&R. To be cntd…. Carole
great pix Jorma, I felt just like you did last night, how’d you say it? “a concert in my home” right? it’s always a pleasure to come to your place and hear legends come and relax
the music is always top shelf, but the relaxed vibe and chit chat between performer and concertgoer is remarkable…it’s as if the whole thing was put on just for me!!!
thanx for allowing others to experience the magic of the FPR, even if we haven’t got the skills to come as a student…your dream has made my reality better than any fantasy I’ve ever had…thanx for everything you do for us Jorma, it means a lot
Hey Will
Thanks neighbor…
jorma
good times jorma
Speaking of laid back summertime listening, I just caught a listen to Jack playing with Country Joe and the Fish doing “Flying High” live. 1969 but not the Fillmore version. I hope Jack has a good summer break also.
Thx for adding Interlocken! Looking forward to recharged HT. Thank Goodness for downtime.
Dear Jorma,
Thanks for the great pics! Looks like a great American summer!
Great to see Harvey in the shot! RIP.
Please continue to relax and enjoy the rest of Summer!
Best,
Cyndy
Well, well, well Jorma:
I came back here (just a few hours later from my last cyber-visit), to show my friends your latest, greatest photo on your previous blog post. To my great pleasure, here’s another new blog post with some more beautiful photos that you appear to have been saving, to post now:
“The view from the summer cottage on the beach in Saco…Maine”
“The American Queen dips her stack to pass the bridge in Pomeroy”
and, as if to illustrate my point, regarding your appreciation of my love for those greens and blues:
a close-up variation of that photo:
“Heading towards Pittsburg on the Queen”
I wish I had the time to check-in here every day, just for the delight of viewing
your blog photos.
“Ooh baby, you know what I like!!!”
Superb photos, all ! —Nerfy P.S When are you heading back to Alaska ?
Wonderful family photo’s, doesn’t get better than this! Love it!
Harvey was my man,grew up together in bklyn.sure miss him
