Jack Casady and Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Starship

Jack Casady and Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Starship

The printed schedule said "3:20 - Special Guest". The buzz was that it would either be an incarnation of the Jefferson Whatever-They're-Calling-Themselves-Now, Paul and Linda McCartney (who donated food for the Food Bank), or a guy who plays piano in the Holiday Inn in Petaluma. The big money was on the piano man.

Surprise! Suprise! It turned out to be what former bass player David Freiberg referred to as The Jefferson Wheelchair. They hit the stage: Paul Kantner, Jack Casady, Pete Sears, Prarie Prince, and Diane Mangano, a killer Grace Slick stand-in who sings with Paul's other band. Playing a mix of new and old, they gave the crowd what they came for. Music. Dancing. And memories. A mix of old ones and a host of brand new ones.
