In the latest issue of Vintage guitar this is a picture of Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna fame playing an Adamas. The pic is noted as 1978 but it is NOT a slot head he is playing. Still very possible.
Thought you would like this Adamas sighting

ehh...confused but will answer.
For most of us Cliff 1978 would indicate an older pic. LOL

My bad.
My (mis)interpretation of your statement was that that the pic noted that it was a 78 Adamas (Vintage Guitar magazine & all).
My apologies.

Last winter I drove two hours to Poughkeepsie, NY to see acoustic HotTuna. z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z.
Left after the first set.

to say Jorma is inconsistent is an understatement. I saw "the white gland" his "punk" band in the early 80's and it was horrible but interesting. they were at alexander's in browns mills I often wonder what ever happened to that place.

I saw jorma solo at the Ripley on south street a number of years later and it was great. He played from 9-12 took an hour break. went back on stage about 1 with a bass player (not jack) at about 2:30 the bass player unplugged his bass and walked off stage.

Jack kept playing

I fell asleep some time around 3:30 (or should I say passed out) woke up around 4 to catch the last hour of the show.

he played for hours that totally blew me away

Jorma has a new cd out called "Blue Country Heart". He plays a Gibson 1936 advanced jumbo on this cd. I can tell ya he needs someone to set the guitar up for him...frets are buzzin big time throughout the entire cd! Jerry Douglas is awesome on dobro....makes it worth the purchase price.
