End Of Many Things…
I drove our daughter to Athens high School a week or so ago so she could be there for the last day of school. What a concept. I actually remember that age. She’s in for a ride just like we were. Her fifteenth birthday is right around the corner and she’s working at Avalanche Pizza in town. If you’re in town… order a Hot Tuna Pie and tell them, Jorma sent you. She’ll be a junior next year.

Thoughts On #49 And The River Of Time
So we aired #49 last night. We recorded it on Wednesday last, our first outing in the outdoor venue and there were glitches to be sure. Considering what we had to do to make it work at all, I can live with it. We’ll iron things out for this coming weekend.

Indeed, the only constant is change.

The end of the pandemic isolation may be coming, but the yard with still filled with idle coaches. We’re all hoping to get back to work soon.
Back at the Fur Peace Ranch my longtime pal Michael Falzarano stopped by on his way to Texas ...

My Friend Al… #47 In The Wings
Selfie by Vanessa Kaukonen
At my age I have been saying a lot of goodbyes the most recent being to my old friend Al Schmitt. Al was such an important part of the Jefferson Airplane Family in terms of what he brought to the table as a producer. RCA assigned him to us starting with After Bathing At Baxters. At a point in our relatively young lives when we thought ...
