Long before MTV unplugged, Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady thought it would be cool to perform a few old blues as a set-breaking contrast to the Airplane’s acid-and-revolution epiphanies. This ‘novelty act’ of the psychedelic circuit evolved into Hot Tuna, and Jesse Block’s concert documentary, 25 Years and Runnin’, celebrates the simple sustaining powers of blues, bars, and Tuna. Jorma and Jack reflect on their influences and musical partnership since playing in a high school garage band, while their fans explain the Jorma/Jack chemistry that’s kept them tuned into Tuna for a quarter century. The documentary’s subtitle, Live at Sweetwater (a Bay Area landmark club), is the crux of this DVD, ‘live’ performances of ragtime blues standards and Tuna originals that exemplify the free spirit that’s kept Hot Tuna runnin’ all these years. Jorma and Jack are ably assisted by Tuna mates Michael Falzarano (guitar, vocals, mandolin) and Pete Sears (keyboards, accordion). The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and Maria Muldaur guest on a romp across Dylan’s Maggie’s Farm. Titles include: San Francisco Bay Blues, Trial By Fire, Let Us Get Together, Pass The Snakes, Hesitation Blues, Embryonic Journey, I Know You Rider, I War The One, 99 Year Blues, Maggie’s Farm, Folsom Prison Blues Bonus tracks: Walkin’ Blues, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, I See The Light, Ice Age, Genesis, Good Shepherd, Parchman Farm

I was looking for the right equipment for my Camac Isolde Celtic harp. I did NOT want to install the Dusty Strings pick-ups- seemed like way too much to add. This little gizmo was easy to install with the little pictures on placement- like, less than five minutes easy. I plugged the pickup into my new Roland Mobile Cube and it’s perfect! I don’t hear any sound distortion, and I think this will be just right when playing background music for noisier environments. Super happy with this!

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!
