“I’ve Been Struggling to Stay Alive”: Larry Campbell Shares Coronavirus Update
Multi-instrumentalist and longtime Bob Dylan associate Larry Campbell has broken his silence following his COVID-19 diagnosis, telling Rolling Stone, “This thing has been a beast. It’s going to be a while before I begin to have equilibrium here. But I’m on the mend.”
News of Campbell’s illness broke on March 24, with his wife and musical partner Teresa Williams telling fans, “he’s sicker than he’s ever been in his life.”
After explaining that he tested positive in the parking lot of his physician’s office (“a woman in a Hazmat suit came out and gave me the test”), Campbell described his symptoms, saying, “I’ve had the flu plenty of times but it’s never gotten this debilitating. My temperature fluctuated between 100 and just over 101. It went to 102 at one point. There were days when the effort just to get up and walk to the couch I’d been laying on all day – just to get into the kitchen to force myself to eat something — was monumental. Then trying to walk up the stairs to the bedroom at night and not being able to sleep because of headaches and fever…. For the past two weeks, I’ve been struggling to stay alive. It really is that serious. That makes you reassess what you’re doing here. I haven’t been able to touch or hold Teresa, or even look at her, this whole time. We’ve been on the phone constantly. It makes me see how valuable our relationship is.”

Heal quickly and completely, Larry!
Fortunately we get to see Jorma streaming live instead. The show must go on (in some way).

The best Hot Tuna show I've
The best Hot Tuna show I've seen since 1976 was at the Capital with Larry and Teresa a few years back. The best David Bromberg set I've seen since 1975 was one with him and Larry. Larry is one of those rare artists that make everyone around him better when he's on a stage. He embodies everything that is wonderful about music.
Two beautiful people, They Love Each Other
Thanks for the update.
