I know there are a bunch of Airplane fans here...

So here's a fairly recent Jorma interview I just watched. Nothing earth-shakingly new, but I enjoyed listening to him ramble on about "the old days". Hope it's not one all of you have already seen:

Hey that's a new one to me! Thanks for sharing. Always fun to hear any of them reminisce. Going to see Jorma and Jack live on Tuesday here in Orlando!

No way! Man, I guess there are some drawbacks to living up here in North Idaho!

 

[Bill Ashton]

Ya gotta read his book!

Yup! I have a love hate relationship with Florida, but the fact that Tuna comes through here pretty frequently is certainly a perk!

Ya gotta read his book!

I've been meaning to pick up a copy!

I'm gonna add this link in here just because it's one of my favorite HT songs in a long time. Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams' subtle vocal contributions evoke memories of Kantner and Slick during the JA years. What a great song:

That was cool, hearing his thoughts on Monterey Pop! Thanks for sharing!

The Flyguitars interviews have been posted and discussed before but there is something to having the originals all in one place. If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, there are a couple of things in those where there is additional information. I recall a couple of LTG posts where someone observes that Jack doesn't always remember things the same or where something he didn't remember in the interviews is mentioned elsewhere.

In that one way, though he is light years ahead of me in the virtuosity department, we are similar...

 

[mgod]

The thing is, his memory is not 100% accurate.

I'm sorry: what were we talkin' about...?
