Last night I was able to mix two of the things I love most in life - live music and my daughter. Hot Tuna, the brilliant acoustic spinoff of Jefferson Airplane, was playing at the Barrymore Theater here in Madison, and my wife did not want to join me. I sent Eileen a Youtube clip of Hot Tuna and invited her to go, and of course, she said yes. I think it was mostly to please her old man.
It was a wonderful show, with Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassidy joined by multi-instrumentalist Barry Mitterhoff. The highlight for me was not on stage, though. At one point, when Jack was sailing through a brilliant bass solo, I looked over at Eileen and she was paying rapt attention with a big smile on her face. It just does not get any better than that.
It was a really great show, and I was really glad to be able to go with you.
