Well, after the show last night at the Musikfest Cafe in Bethlehem we hopped on the bus, went to sleep and woke up in Ann Arbor, Michigan where we will play at the Ark tonight.
OK… a quick rewind from last night.
Nice use of old space for a new club

Good job sweetie...
That’s about it for now. Off to soundcheck at the Ark and as always…
Onward!
The Bethlehem show was great! I thought the sound in the room was awesome, and the crowd was quite respectful by not talking during songs which is a good thing in a smaller venue. I would also like to give a shout out to a new Hot Tuna friend my wife and I met Hello Julie!
What a great show in Bethlehem! I had tears welling up a couple of times from your music and the memories it brought back, especially of a friend who has passed over who was a huge fan….Love you guys! Thank you so much….Peg
Looks like a new joint. Thank goodness for Rustoleum!
I was at the Ann Arbor show and it was fantastic.I just wish you would come this way more often.Your stage presence is a lot of fun and the crowd really gets into it.Have been a fan since JA days.Your playing is amazing.Thank you.
I see you slipped Genesis in last night.A Bar Room Crystal Ball as an encore! Great place for that song Jorma cause I love the passion that you sing it with. Especially the line about nothing being the the way it was before. At the NYC acoustic show it seemed you almost shouted that line. I was reminded just how true that is. Very nice looking set list . That’s a long haul all the way up to Anne Arbor . I was there once in the early 70s. We drove clear up to the top of the peninsula and then crossed over via the Mackinaw Bridge into Wisconsin I think. Wow that was a long time ago.
wow, she’s blossoming into a beautiful young lady. Love the guitar shirt too. Onward!
