#90: Fur Peace from Everywhere with Jorma Kaukonen
In this episode of Gear Club we talk with Jorma Kaukonen, electric guitarist extraordinaire for Jefferson Airplane, vocalist/blues picker for Hot Tuna, prolific solo artist, and an all-around great guy. At 82 years young, Jorma is still writing, teaching, and gigging with no signs of slowing down. John and Stewart talk with Jorma about his early career playing Bay Area clubs with Janis Joplin, life in The Airplane, his guitar mentors, speedskating, touring, and holding court at his Fur Peace Ranch where he teaches and performs with guest artists who roll through. During COVID lockdown, Jorma live-streamed weekly concerts from the ranch as well!.
For more on Jorma’s music, career, and night in a German jail, check out his autobiography “Been So Long”.
