must be the trend this year.  i bought my brother a ticket for xmas, and we
saw 'em last week.  great show.

i would have liked to see more of charlie.  i grew up on hot tuna's 
first album,
with jack, jorma and will scarlet.  in my mind, bass + guitar + harp 
defines blues.

> I can't really describe it too well, but Charlie has a tone and a lyrical style all his own. Great 3rd position playing (Christo Rendentor) and the guy just looks, at 67 years old, like the blues
funny, i had the thought halfway through the second set that jorma
has become the aging bluesman he used to emulate in his youth.
