Jorma Kaukonen at the Folk Festival

There are a lot of seasoned old hands playing at the Philadelphia Folk Festival this weekend, none finer than Jorma Kaukonen, the Finnish-American guitairst who was once in Jefferson Airplane, still plays with Hot Tuna and is a hotshot (yet understated) acoustic and electric guitarist. He plays tonight on Fest's main stage, along with Arlo Guthrie, Battlefield Band, Angel Band, and others. Tomorrow, he'll be part of a Sunday afternoon jam session that also includes David Bromberg (speaking of hot shot guitarists) who is also playing the main stage on Saturday afternoon, with Trombone Shorty. The Folk Fest schedule is here, though the site was down as of this morning. Jorma's "Prohibition Blues" is below.
