God bless you, Johnny, I just posted the 89th "like" and I just happened to do a 305 mile run from Whistler, B.C., Canada to Seattle, WA, with a stop in Victoria, B.C. in between in 19-89, the very first International run, that "hardly" anybody has ever heard of!!!!! I'm trying to get enough pictures etc. together to make a video, I will probably have to get them from microfilm reels from the main library and hopefully radio stations (ABC radio) keep live interviews from '89 on a reel as I was interviewed when I finished my run at Lake Union, that would be great to get a copy of it if they still have it stored,, anyway's, if I can put it together, I truly hope that it can be of some help!!!

One of the best child actors, ever. God bless you, Johnny.

[@whiskeyrun4996]

Yes he was

[@evanwolf6618]

When I was eight or nine , 'The Rifleman' was one of my favorite shows , among many others . 'Felix the Cat' , 'Sonny and Cher Hour' , Laugh In' , 'The Wild , Wild West' , 'The Immortal Man' , 'The Ed Sullivan Show' , just to name a few .... ..... ..... Then , when I was fifteen , I went to see Hot Tuna midnight @ the Palladium in N.Y.C. Thanksgiving show . Time marches on .... Three years ago , I ran into Jorma and told him that I first saw them at that show when I was a kid . He smiled and said , "You're still a kid !".

[@AmericasChoice]

@@evanwolf6618 Yes it, does. My sister and I enjoyed that era of TV, too. I hit every Hot Tuna show at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ '74-76 and some more in NYC. I saw Jorma solos acoustic and even with his woeful band, Vital Parts. A Law School buddy owned one of Jorma's Martin acoustics Jorma had to sell during his divorce in 1983. I saw Hot Tuna a few times in Boulder, Colorado but they had Falsarano with them and it just wasn't the same. I met Jorma at a guitar shop in Denver about 12 years back and told him the Power Trio era of 1974-77 was their best phase. He told me he hated that period and would never play like that again. Of course, now he is bringing back that electric format and touring with it. I play guitar and can perform a pretty good "Water Song", which I think is his best composition. Peace.

[@evanwolf6618]

@@AmericasChoice Wow. Yeah ,The Capitol ! One long ,curved perfect 'orchestra' ! ... I can understand how Jack and Jorma would not look back at those days so lovingly. I believe they abused themselves to play an early show and then a late show for 5 1/2 hours . Amphetamines were most likely involved , along with the quarts of booze by each of their side which would most likely disappear before the end of the night !! The Bob Steeler days were the best , although I never saw them with Papa John Creech . I did see Creech when Starship played Central Park (free concert , I had to cut school for that one!). Red Octopus. I guess you know that Bob Steeler played for Elvis . That's why he was so good . Elvis always had the best !!

[@AmericasChoice]

@@evanwolf6618 Steeler was the best Hot Tuna drummer. I never saw Papa John live unfortunately. One thing that saved Jorma and Jack from the destruction that happened to so many was the fact they didn't tour all year long. Jorma's wife was Swedish, so they would spend the winters in Sweden. I have heard Jorma say that the record companies hated that they would leave for the winter, but that it probably saved their lives. The first song on America's Choice was written about being in Sweden in the winter.

Strangely enough when I was working in Reservations for Eastern Airlines I once took a random call from Johnny himself booking a flight from LA to Kansas city. I knew his voice well and before he gave me his name I said "so the reservation is for Johnny Crawford"? He said how do you know who I am? I said "I was named after you character, I'd know your voice anywhere". We talked for a while and he was so nice and genuine. I also met Chuck Connors in the Atlanta Airport and talked with him as well. He said they still kept in touch with each other and cherished those memories. Both of them great people.

From the time he was a small boy until he died, he had that same broad smile. He was a darn good actor and a wonderful human being.
