Jorma Kaukonen & John Hurlbut: The Ballad of Easy Rider- new video

Here's a new video from Jorma and the Fur Peace Ranch:
This is fun to watch, especially if you like motorcycles and The Byrds...

🤙Certainly enjoyed that beginning to end, thx - the merger of music & film, tremendousÂ

Now, that is my idea of a music video. Thanks for posting that!

That was a musical journey, which the classy video added to. I found myself getting frustrated though. I wanted to watch Jorma's finger work on the frets so bad, and the camera angles and camera person only gave in once for a second. Numerous shots of second guitarist chording, while Jorma was just surreal on what he was playing. Not griping, it was an amazing piece of work. But damn, gimme Jorma, hahaha............ Â

Here's a video of Jorma and John doing the song a few years ago at the Fur Peace Ranch :

As a fellow guitarist and Jorma fan, I highly recommend catching Jorma on the FurPeaceRanch show every Saturday afternoon/evening on youtube. The shows are excellent, feature cool guests (the shows with Jack Casady are superb), and he plays all kinds of songs. I always tune up my guitar and play along. They often show his hands and you can also see him retuning and where the capo is. I often can learn (or relearn) a song every show. Jorma also has lessons on his website and he's going to do a master class on the blues soon (probably on zoom). Jorma is a national treasure and he is a great inspiration to me. Long live Jorma and Jack!!!!!!!!
