I saw Hot Tuna Saturday night at the Rockford Theater courtesy of the first mate. They have added another musician to the line up, Barry Mitterhoff, who plays a wicked mandolin among other instruments. Naturally the Rockford hippie contingent was out in full force. We met a lot of very nice people there and made some new friends.
Their next gig is on Monday 3 August at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, Minnesota. For other gigs click on Barry’s link above. You can hear a Hot Tuna clip with Barry playing at Barry’s link above.

Simon I like your writings a lot.
But I rarely visit because your page jumps all over the place while loading and takes ages to settle. I think its the formatting. But I realise that it’s hard to get right and since you have your own page it’s all DIY, so thanks anyway for what you do. I will still make the effort because to have your commentary in some form is better than not to have it at all.
Greetings:
I had a sweetheart who grew up in a household where they preferred Sinatra, et al., and older country music. When we started going I tried to introduce her to rock and roll music. At the time, I was listening to a lot of blues-based rock, Canned Heat and Hot Tuna being two of my favorites.
One evening we were having friends over for a social and my sweetheart wanted to impress them with what she was learning. Addressing our group, she announced that I, really liked blues music and that “Canned Tuna” was my favorite group. Another “A” for effort. Happy days.
