A very exciting trip for Jack and myself! We so looked forward to this, our first outside the Fur Peace Ranch gig with Hot Tuna since 2019 (correct me if I’m wrong, and I know you will. 🙂 It was the maiden ensemble voyage for the RV’s and I mighty one it was. I actually got to stay in two campgrounds, which was a first for me. I’ve been boondocking on my RV trips prior to this. It’s really nice with hookups, I must say.

(And the eternal question of course)
Pulling into the Boyd’s Campground was welcoming and beautiful. The wind was blowing from oceanside and the smell of gently decaying sea vegetation was all permeating, but I loved it anyway. Spending two nights there was awesome!

Yeah, we played this lovely venue right after Jam Cruise a couple of years ago. Loved it then… still love it.

It was sad to see the end of this little run but at least we were able to see the beginning of what we hope the future will be. To be able to share our ongoing story with a love audience made us think that indeed, better times are coming.

A lovely morning to start a a long drive home. On the way back to the Ranch Myron and I stopped in Jacksonville, Florida and Wytheville, Virginia then a mere two hundred miles to the Ranch… and here I am.
Yeah… a great trip. I’m not sure what ‘normal’ is anymore so i won’t use that word.
Things are getting better.
More anon…

Yes….live music in back! Great to get out last night for the Allman Betts Band concert at Richmond Harley Davidson in Ashland, VA! The weather was a little dicey, however, the music godz held off the storms and the band played through the misty rain with an inspired set. This was my first live music show since The Brothers tribute to the Allman Brothers Band at MSG in NYC back on 3/10/20. So, it was extra special to pick back up again with Allman Betts Band! Really looking forward to getting back to FPR for some shows real soon!
Saturday night, you just aren’t the same anymore….
Florida does have some great RV parks, nothing like waking up to the sound of the ocean (or the gulf). RV hook-ups are nice but make sure you have a good surge protector as the quality of the 110V/30A can be dicey. Cant wait for the Podcast, the banter with you, Vanessa and various guests has become part of our new “normal” (such as it is) Thanks and Happy Trails
I love Key West.
It’s one of the funkiest little towns in America.
Isn’t that where you met Vanessa?
As your encore there, you played the prettiest love song ever written.
Off topic, but when can we look forward to 50a. Miss those Saturday nites!
Good question… we’ll let you know when we do.
A barnyard animal………and a red rooster at that. A good omen indeed!
If there were a year that could “vanish in the rear view mirror,” 2020 would be a strong candidate.

The Brothers Intrepid are truly an Inspiration!
Kerouac, Kesey, Babbs, Peter Fonda and Hopper too
I would love to look up on some interstate to see the HamarTuna caravan rollin by!
And better yet, coming to theatre near you
A summer with Hurl, Fall with the Dawg, and I see a Tedeschi Beacon thrown in too
Are the singers singing the song, or is The Song singin the singers
Just Beautiful, Thanks

Well, that rooster crows
Said, that hen run ’round
Maybe we just need to remove ‘“normal” from the vocabulary. Our generation is known for busting norms, if for nothing else, so what the hey? Alls I know is, reading of road travels again is kinda like slipping into a comfortable pair of old slippers. Throw in a couple of restaurant adventures and I’ll be kicked back in the easy chair for sure. This old world ain’t got shit on you two warriors. The road goes on forever, and home is where a hook-up is. Rock on!
@Jorma
You played 2 Tuna shows at Natalie’s in November
Sorry for the multi messages
Yeah… complete brain fart on the 2020 gigs. I knew you guys would come through for me. It’s like 2020 vanished in the rear view mirror.
Driving on…
@Jorma
Jorma,
Hot Tuna played Natalie’s in Grandview this past November 2 shows. I attended. Thanks for coming up 33!
Here’s that correction you were looking for, Jorma!
There were, indeed, Electric Hot Tuna gigs in 2020. Here’s a link to your Cracks in the Finish about the final show, at River City Casino in St. Louis on 3/6/2020.
No opener, as the David Bromberg Band had already left the tour.
It was a fantastic evening of Tuna, all killer, no filler…

Hope to see and hear you again soon!
I stand corrected… well done!
Chester truly makes Hot Tuna a power trio. Cream has nothing on those boys.
Thanks for coming to Florida. I flew in from Kansas City to Key West for this one
A great evening …..The sound was fantastic . See you down the road
That looks like a Rooster to me . Glad that you guys enjoyed get out on the road again and the new mode of transportation has got to be a vast improvement.
