A RETIREMENT CHRONICLE by JORMA L. KAUKONENiL AST spring, when I was in Washington briefly, Icalled on Margaret Turkel—an old and dear friend—and she was intrigued by how I spent some of the hoursof my retirement. I am by nature a dignified, polysyllabic,somewhat pompous man and she thought it amusingthat I should have become involved peripherally in theworld of rock music. It was her idea, I guess, that theremight be something inspirational in my story for otherForeign Service officers, suddenly thrust into a nonnine-to-five environment, out of reach of a major, metroJorma L. Kaukonen’s government service began in 1935 andended in 1970. He worked for the Social Security Board, thePublic Health Service, the Federal Agency and the War Man power Commission. WWI1 took him to Japan as a censorshipofficer, to Korea as a labor advisor, to Pakistan as representa tive of the Asia Foundation and to the Department of Labor asa Far Eastern area specialist. In 1957 he joined the ForeignService as Labor Attache and First Secretary in Manila, trans ferring to Stockholm in 1962 and to Ottawa in 1967.politan newspaper, no daily morning staff meetings toattend, and nothing to do except prune the roses.Let me begin with a factual statement of some of thefringe benefits of my new life. I was at a concert recentlyhere in San Francisco at the Winterland where theJefferson Airplane, in a manner of speaking, was makinga triumphant return to its birthplace. The Airplane hadnot concertized for quite a while in its native city and thiswas a major cultural event in any man’s book. I wasbackstage in the dressing room, listening to my sonJorma, the guitarist, and Jack Casady, the bassist, warmup. Later they would be joined in this backstage mini concert by other members of the group, but at themoment I was listening to a great piece of stringedvirtuosity in an ambiance which was peculiarly SanFranciscan—permissive, free and easy.The dressing room was pretty crowded, except for thecorner where young Kaukonen and Casady were warm ing up, and people garbed in the non-Brooks Brothers,Worldwide Ill-Risk Insurance CoverageFor Government EmployeesSpecial rates for American Foreign Service Association membersThe annual Government Service Policy wasdesigned more than 40 years ago especially to meet thepersonal property insurance needs of all employees ofthe United States Government.

Shades of Hogarth and Custer and the PlainsIndians and the Cavaliers and the Forty Niners and the25th century! As I sat there bemused, a bare midriffappeared in front of my eyes and was stationary for amoment. It belonged to a “chick,” if I may be permittedthe vernacular, in the first full flush of her nubility. Shehad a wreath of rosebuds tattooed around her navel andI knew from the colors that this was the work of LyleTuttle who is responsible for a veritable renaissance ofthis ancient art in the Bay area.This was a fringe benefit indeed. I never would haveseen it, had I not been impelled to become a rock musicaficionado and to write from time to time—not so muchabout the Airplane as about the music of Hot Tuna andBlack Kangaroo. I ought to conclude this sidelight bysaying that the concert that evening was great, theAirplane invigorated by the guest reappearance of MartyBalin whose duets with Grace Slick were highlights of thelate ’60s. Lights flashed, people danced, and the musicwas evocative—some of it—of that simpler time of whichWoodstock was the symbol.But I think I like the music of Hot Tuna even morethan that of the Airplane at this moment. Hot Tuna hassome of the same personnel as the Jefferson Airplane—lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, bassist Jack Casady, andviolinist Papa John Creach. It has an immediacy, anintensity, a compelling palpable power which movespeople physically as well as intellectually and it is HotTuna which has propelled me into my retirement voca tion as campfollower and writer about rock and as a parttime sound archivist. The first thing I wrote about HotTuna was what has been described as their officialbiography. This was followed by an article on the art in apopular rock magazine and I was gratified recently to bestopped by a young man in Constitution Hall who had anarticle of mine in hand and who said he had liked it.Anyway, Hot Tuna is something—a passionate en6FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL.February. 1973

I have heard it develop from its earliestdays when it opened the bill at Fillmore East for theAirplane, with Kaukonen Jr. and Casady shifting easilyfrom one identity to the other, assisted by Jorma’sbrother Peter.But it isn't just the Airplane and Hot Tuna whichinterest me. There is a group called Black Kangaroowhich culminates a development that began with Petrus,a band of great musicality which had a reputation in theearly days of the San Francisco musical renaissance andwhich led to Lizard, a trio utilizing an acoustic basswhich attracted a considerable following in Bay areaclubs. Black Kangaroo is the name of Peter Kaukonen’sband and of his recently released record. With taperecorder in hand, I have heard and recorded much ofPeter’s musical development during the past severalyears. He has responded to his own musical imperativewhich took him out of Hot Tuna at an early stage of thatgroup’s development to begin a journey which has takenhim a long way toward his goal as an artist recognized inhis own right.Recently, Black Kangaroo and Hot Tuna appeared onthe same bill in New York at the Academy of Music.Incredible. It made me think of the year in Stockholmwhen Peter was studying at Stockholm University andplaying and singing American blues to the prescientSwedish audiences in such places as the Domino andGrona Lund, to mention but two. Now in 1972, he hashis own band and is on tour to play on the same bills asHot Tuna, The Byrds, Alice Cooper, and Albert King,among others, with a brief excursion to play for thestudents of Hotchkiss in Lakeville, Connecticut where heprepared himself for Stanford and the nine to five careerForeign Service officers try to inflict on their children.Well, they’re both free of that and I occasionally askmyself what I did that was right when they were growingup. Nothing, I guess, except throw every obstacle I couldthink of in their way. But I doubt that was the spureither. I think they are lucky to be doing what they wantand to be doing it well.As for me, I’ve gotten a number of insights I wouldn’totherwise have had, over and above the nubile navelsurrounded by Lyle Tuttle’s artistry. Like for instance,Mick Jagger needs a new choreographer and his musicdoesn’t say anything new to me, although the RollingStones are very slick and professional and watching theiraudience is like watching sea plants responding to theforces of wind and wave. Or that the Who live is amusical experience not to be missed. Or that I like J. J.Cale and Osibisa and John Hammond who appearsfrequently with Hot Tuna and whose blues are almostbeyond compare. And that I don’t have to have the NewYork TIMES, the Manila CHRONICLE, DAGENS NYHETER,or the GLOBE AND MAIL first thing in the morning andthat since nothing changes in what used to be my realworld, I can make do with that occasionally charmingprovincial paper the San Francisco CHRONICLE. And,finally, in the world of the performing arts, even for thebystander, there is no nine to five syndrome and I amglad of that.
