Yeah, please do send it.
You didn't listen to Jefferson Airplane when you were a younger man?  I can understand missing  Starship.  I can understand missing the '80s now that I think about it.

I wonder what the condition of N0. 1 is like?  More importantly, I wonder if it will every be up for sale again?  It would be cool to see it back at Alembic as part of the factory tour.  Kinda like the original Silver Ghost sitting in front of its maker's building.

I saw Jack with Jorma at Martyrs in Chicago in 2001, and on the Deepest End DVD. He's been an influence on me for 24 years. Happy B'day Mr. C!

For those of you that really dig Jack's playing, and would like to take a master class with him as the instructor, you can sign-up for a bass camp with him (from beginner to pro) at Jorma's Fur Peace Ranch in the Appalachians (Ohio). Ck out furpeaceranch.com for more info. Same goes for all us guitar players with Jorma. G.E. Smith and other notable pro's also teach there throughout the year. Hot F'n Tuna and Airplane fans will enjoy the website whether they wanna take a seminar or not.

I understand Jack's master classes fill up as soon as they are announced - there may be a waiting list.  Just as soon as I can get it on my priority list, I'm going to call FurPeace and ask them how one goes about getting into one of Jack's classess (even with a long wait).
