This ultimately led to a stint with #Kingfish. In the mid-80s. Here’s a decent recording of one of the shows from that era.

He and Jorma go back to the late 70s when the Goodman Brothers opened for Tuna.
Steve enters the show at the 43 minute mark.

The music starts at around 4:20, but the whole thing is a hoot.

Here’s a complete set from 1987. John was already quite ill by then but managed to carry on rocking for two more years before passing.

Nevertheless, they had a great groove while they lasted. I picked this clip mostly to show the #FenderMustang fitted with the famous #Rickenbacker horseshoe pickup.
