It was warmer here in the Islands then it was in Florida… but it is not hot. We moved over to Paradise Cove where it was rainy and barely balmy.

We were able to do our show indoors last night. It’s sunny right now, so perhaps tonight’s show will actually be outdoors.
More will be revealed.
Between rainstorms very nice photo jorma.
Did you laugh Captain?
Joey – yes indeed must have been just to the right of you as I was in front of Jack as well. I’m back home in Mid-Atlantic now so won’t be at Ponte Vedra Show. I am a regular at TTB Fest every year in St. Pete so maybe catch you there next year. Also, I get over to FPR several times a year so may catch up with you there.
@Chappy
I must have been just to your left. My girlfriend and I were right in front of Jack. I wish we would have connected with you a bit more as a blog contributor Chappy. At the end of the set I had that familiar breathless feeling I get when the boys blow me away. I’ll be at the Jorma show in Ponte Vedra.
Maybe seeya there?
Great set in St. Pete. My old buddy John R. were on the rail – front and center. It was a little chilly but y’all were smokin’ hot. You, Jack, and Justin were kicking it big time! I think I got to see you guys on the hottest date of the past 12 months (Virginia Beach @ 100+ degrees back in July) and St. Pete (42 degrees last weekend). BTW – nice collaboration with TTB on “The Sky is Crying.” Looking forward to the upcoming season at FPR. In the meantime, hope to catch you at the Tin Pan in Richmond. Blessings.
Wow – New Song For The Morning – One of my all time favorite songs. Sorry I didn’t make it down to Jamaica. It’s 50 and sunny today on Long Island. It’s a January thaw.
It was great to see Electric Hot Tuna in St Petersburg. As you said… we’re strong.
But you, Jack, and Justin were really putting out the energy and sounds.
Fantastic show Jorma.
My sweety Amy was at her second Tuna show. We were right up front. She loved it!
Of course.
Have a great tour. Seeya in Ponte Vedra!
@John B
lots of firewood….come north
There is no escaping the cold this winter.
