Wonderful!

Love and miss you too judit!

Alan, Great!

I got the matching signed 50th HT poster also.

I recommend logging into the FPR store early if you plan on buying anything...

Great Jou, indeed.  Maybe we will get a little Rev Gary Davis "Great Change Since I've Been Born" in honor.  I'll settle for a little acoustic Hot Jelly Role Blues--or anything frankly..  There was an old sticker in the 70s I had that said Jorma Saves ....Jack Delivers.  Ain't that the truth!

If anyone has yet to read Jorma's autobiography I highly recommend doing so. 

Nice plug for Maryland, there!!! Land of Pleasant Living

Does anyone remember that Long John Silver album that could fold up into a cigar box /stash box with weed in it?

When you were 14 in 1972, that was cool.

Ha

Jorma's Dad accidently dosed at the '73 Bimbo's 365 Club HT show ...

I loved this show! Still in the glow from it.

 

I don't remember seeing that album, Alan, but I would love to see it. I'm way into marketing/packaging, folding paper and also into containers. It must be great!

From wikipedia: The original vinyl LP release (1972) featured an album cover that folded up into a replica of a cigar box. The record sleeve bore an image of cigars; this image was later used as cover art on CD releases. The inside bottom of the box was covered with a photograph of marijuana.

So you folded it up and the record itself (disguised as a row or cigars) sat on top... and underneath was the stash - a picture of a lot of weed.

Now ths was very subversive to have in 1972 for suburban teens just getting into smoking grass (though I think pot was the preferred term).

I do remember hitchhiking down to the Hecht Company department store to buy it. I had already scored Blows Against the Empire at a bar mitzvah party, and this was my first JA purchase.

What a wonderful treat that was,

I hope that Jack stays at The Ranch for the rest of the Summer!

Jorma's "Land of Pleasant Living" comment was an obscure reference to a line in an old local beer jingle:

National Beer, National Beer,

you'll like the taste of National Beer.

It's from the land of pleasant living,

we bring you national beer.

I'm still amazed how good it sounds.... (the Tuna show, not the jingle)

 

I'll be watching to see if Jack got Jorma got the standard Old Bay socks or the more psychedelic "crabs in space" ones:

That performance seemed especially inspired. Love was in the air. 

KEEP LOVALIVE
