I helped Jack celebrate his 79th birthday today by taking him to see John Wick 4.
An evening well spent.
Onward
Happy Birthday Jack!

And Saturday’s Earth Day. Get yourself a twofer. Find a volunteer opportunity to give some time to Ma Nature.
Thanks Jorma and Jack for an incredible show in Skokie, Illinois last night. For nearly three hours we were treated to a unique yet timeless brand of the best ‘American’ roots music. Perfect venue, sound and show. Please come back to the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts next time around!
Who knew?
It’s National Volunteer Month and this is National Volunteer Week.
“ Now it’s time for you and me”
Step up and find a way to help.
Peace✌🏻️❤️Love All Ways🔥🚲🌹🙏🏻🖖🏼
Great time in Steelville last night. Well worth the brief drive. We managed to avoid the hailstones and the lightning bolts and tornados and were rewarded with some delightful musicianship. Thanks for coming; hope your path to Skokie is a clear one.
Happy Completing Another Circle Around the Sun Jack. Great set of albums https://www.goldminemag.com/10-albums-that-changed-my-life/10-albums-that-changed-my-life-jack-casady
Happy Birthday Jack!
My dad shares the same born on date. He would have been 85 yesterday. I’m so grateful they got to meet in Mt. Tabor celebrating Jack’s 75th.
As dog lovers, I’m sure you both can understand why Mr. Wick got so ticked-off.
Safe travels!
Many happy birthday for Jack. Greatest bass player ever IMHO.
I’m so grateful for the day you were born!
The Hot Tuna partnership is nothing short of magical and miraculous. I sure hope you two can make it down to Florida soon. Miss you
Happy Birthday Jack!!!!!
You are the coolest dude I’ve ever met!
Many many many more!!!!!
From Fanworld:
HAPPY BRITHDAY JACK!
Keep on keeping on.
