Back Home, L.A. To Fresno

Entrance to Hillside Farm

Back home, winter holds sway…

A kid and a dog in the snow... recipe for good times

How’s about Mama’s brand new toy?

Bring it on!

In the dressing room at McCabe’s… we met with friends.

Guess who...

Meanwhile, here in California… we headed up to Fresno and the Tower Theater.

Days gone by

The CCC and the WPA were an important part of my family’s history back in the day.

Not all Fresno is like this... I liked the picture though

Then there was the Tower Theater…

On the Marquee

The Tower Theater is beautiful… family owned since rocks and water.

What a room!

The master at his craft...

   Jorma – any plans to bring the show over to the UK again? Last time I saw Hot Tuna was at the Bath Festival in June 1970.

   While we’re being walloped by a blizzard in the east, I can only wish I was “Strolling in the Garden, Sunshine have a California Day”.

   Is it just me or does anyone else see a face in the interior shot of the theater? (Hint: the ceiling lamps are the eyes.)
