I can't believe anyone who has heard A1A would actually like the way Nadirah sings 'Makin' Music For Money'. To each his own, I suppose. It's also interesting the number of 'fans' who have such animosity toward Buffett because he is successful. Am I a fan of his newer work? Not particularly, but I r...

I heard Nadirah sing 'Makin' Music For Money' at the Lakewood concert on June 5. She has great pipes, but that particular song did not sound good the way she sings it. Hopefully the rest of her CD has songs more suited to her singing style.

I've been at the last two Charlotte shows. Even though it rained the entire time at the outdoor show, it was a blast! I would much rather see JB outdoors.

My family and I ate there a few weeks ago. We go 3-4 times a year for dinner after we visit Biltmore. We have always enjoyed it. I think the location is not the best though, which probably affected the traffic it received.

I liked them as a Duo much better also.... Don must have left Janie Grey, HB's website shows that he is with them..... Go to the Hillbilly PHC website and it will direct you to HB's website..... Don is in the picture with them. Although they are just playing one night a week at CIP, so Don could ver...

HB and Matt Hall are my two favorite Buffett singers. We had HB down here for one of our phlockings a couple of years ago. Don is cool too. He and HB used to play at Bennigans a lot. I liked them as a duo much better than when HB went to a bigger band. Last I heard from Don Janie Grey was in GA doin...

The last concert I went to was Charlotte 2 years ago.
We had a blast tailgating. The concert was in the Coliseum, so we're looking forward to the amphitheatre this year.
Our group is meeting tomorrow night to make final plans for the trip, and of course to test out any new jello recipes we may have!

Hey gang. I thought I would check in with the board. I am an infrequent visitor, but have checked in on the Charlotte thread a few times. There is a group of us from Knoxvegas, TN heading to Charlotte on June 3rd for the concert. We are staying at the Hampton Inn on Tryon, which I believe is a coupl...

Believe it or not there is more than one Hampton Inn in Charlotte! There are about 7 hotels around 3 miles from Verizon on Tryon. There is a Hampton there, but it is not the same one that is across from the coliseum.

We'll have a phlock from Knoxvegas, probably staying at the Hampton Inn on Tryon Street. There are a bunch of hotels together on Tryon about 3 miles frm the amphitheatre. Tailgating is allowed.

I remember the good old days of Hagar and Three Lock Box, and the days of VH with their first 2 albums. I never liked the two together. Dave sucks alone, but I think part of that is because he was losing it as VH was breaking up in the 80’s. Of course, some of us still don’t think that Genesis exist...
