What early 70's rock bands had violins?

I can't believe no one mentioned Fairport Convention with the great Dave Swarbick on the violin. Check out the Full House and Nine albums first.

String Driven Thing

No one mentioned Family. This is where Rick Gretch of Blind Faith Fame came from. Or how about Zepher?

Ponty wishes he was Stephane Grappelli. :)

C123666, Papa John Creech was not part of the original Hot Tuna. Hot Tuna had been through many incarnations by the time Creech had come along. Please check out the book "Got a Revolution" by Jeff Tamarkin. It's a must read for any fan of the Jefferson Airplane and it's many offshoots. What Fillmore are you referring to in 1988? I thought they had both closed by then? If your saw a band featuring Jorma and Jack and Paul and Grace and Papa John I would say you saw the Jefferson Airplane. This band had Johnny Barbatar(sic) on drums.
