I sure like to thank everyone’s thoughts and prayers for Brother Chick. Couldn’t hurt… could help! Life sure is a funny old dog, but I’m not going to go there just now. Yesterday was a long travel day. We drove to the Sacramento Airport after the show in Paradise, slept for a couple of hours and started what became a fourteen hour trip to home. No matter, home is where I am. Here is our set list from Sunday night:

Hot Tuna 3, 2012
The Acoustic Trio
Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady
& Barry Mitterhoff
Paradise Performing Arts Center
Paradise, California
Sunday, January 8, 2012

1. I See The Light
2. Children Of Zion
3. Hesitation Blues
4. Second Chances
5. Mama Let Me Lay It On You
6. Come Back Baby
7. 99 Year Blues
8. River Of Time
9. Good Bye To The Blues
10. Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out with David Bromberg
11. Uncle Sam Blues with David Bromberg
12. Let Us Get Together Right Down Here
13. Things That Might Have Been
14. Parchman Farm
15. Keep Your Lamps Trimmed & Burning
16. Encore with David Bromberg: Helpless Blues

You know, playing with David Bromberg is always such a blessing. What a fine man he is!

Well, I’ll admit I was beat when I got home. I’ve been laying around taking time out to do some laundry, some email and walk the dog.

Good times!

    Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your visit. Its so good to see you and Jack every so often, and a distint pleasure to see you so happy, healthy, creative and productive yet. Your inner peace, joy and deeply rooted happiness, which you are so very generous with to all around you, is infectious. It fills the room, and it warmed my heart. I shall carry it with me, like a souvenir for the soul.

    Safe journey, old friend, till next time.

    Love, Shelley

    I have always liked your style. We were at the Adler in Davenport, Iowa, in the eartly 1970’s to see you. You were my favorite live band that I had ever seen. Truth

    Jorma, Glad to hear your home and safe, I always keep the Hot Tuna family in my prayers including fans. My favorite band was JA when I was 11 (1968), then my favorite band was Hot Tuna for life. Been to the camp a couple of times with my brother Anthony who plays. Drove from NJ to Ohio, At the camp I gave you a black Hat with the words Hot Tuna and a electric bolt to underline. Always wanted You to know I only had 2 made, never would be selling them. I always wanted to thank you and Jack for all you gave us and will give us. HT is a true religion allelluia>
    Best to you and your family,

    Dear Jorma:

    Been thinking good thoughts for Chick and Jack. Hoping that he recovers.

    Boy California is sure getting a lot of love this past couple of years. Just saw the announcements of the shows in San Diego and Santa Cruz. It is much appreciated. I was only able to catch the show at the Lobero this time around. I absolutely loved it. The sound, the set list, the interaction between you guys, Jack, Barry and David.

    I used to have to force (exaggeration) my wife to go to Hot Tuna shows, this time around before I bought tickets for the Lobero, and asked if she wanted to go. She said hell yeah! And she actually said to me the next morning “that was an awesome show.” Keep the California love flowing!

    Dear Jorma,
    Will continue to keep Chick in my prayers.
    Always good to come home after a trip! As Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz,
    “there’s no place like home”
    Stay well
    Cyndy
