Author of New Jefferson Airplane Book says "Hello to all Hip"

Hi there and thank you for letting me introduce myself.

When attempting to put information in the profile section I got constant error messages. If okay for this time I will put my website in the post.

My name is Craig Fenton and I have written a new book on the rock band the Jefferson Airplane called "Take Me To A Circus Tent."

I didn't know if I would be allowed to post the 5 star reviews so I didn't want to make any enemies.

The book is unlike any written previously on the Airplane. Founding member Marty Balin says a really nice thing on the back cover.


“Craig Fenton knows so much about the Jefferson Airplane and family, I was asking him the questions.” Marty Balin-.


93 Photos (Starting from 1963) including many never in print before, and possibly the 2 rarest Airplane pictures ever, one with Bob Harvey & Jerry Peloquin in the band from 1965 and the other an autographed photo from early 1966 with Skip Spence, Paul signs his name “Paul Airplane.” 266 Questions & Answers are examined from the Airplane & Family. These are not the same old of the same old! 121 live shows are documented with complete and accurate information. All the obscure songs and jams finally have titles. All special guests are mentioned and the first and last time the song is performed is noted. 60 unreleased gems from the studio vaults are explored, including the 1965 Columbia (That is correct) demo with Bob Harvey!


I am a former radio disc-jockey and the passion for rock and roll has been with me since I turned 13. Being old isn't cool, but having grown up with the magic of 60's and 70's rock and roll is something I wouldn't want to have missed.

It has been an honor to have written the book and get emails from all over the world. It is not me that does the favor, it is the great people like you that have supported the book.

Thank you all and have a great Sunday,
Craig The Airplane Man Fenton

welcome to the forums, heres hopin you stick around and let some JA fans quiz you on your books topics!

 

Hi there and thank you for the welcome.

Let's hope there are plenty of Jefferson Airplane fans here.

Most sites don't like double posts, so I didn't. I wonder in order to get the message to all the J.A. fans on the site if posting in music would have been advantageous as well.

Have a great day,

you should feel free to take an Airplane discussion to the music forums - Im sure you will get much more response there. Perhaps even a full convo!

 

Thank you for the advice. I'll post about the book in the music forum.

Have a great Tuesday,
