Truth is over the last couple of years I have not been of these threads very much. Life draws you in different directions -and my interest in all things Parrothead had waned. But when the news broke of Jimmy's fall I immediately wanted to draw back into the fold and be in solidarity with other BNrs ...

Days like this remind me how important it is to get back to what is meaningful...Like this community. I used to be a regular here about 9 years ago, but space and time took me away...and now today all I want to do is get back to what this community, and Jimmy himself have meant to me for all these ...

Seems from all indicators our beloved leader will be alright. What a jolt to the Parrothead Nation. We can easily forget how fragile life is- until in just moments our hold on it is challenged.

This harkens back to another famous scare old-timers will recall ...August 25th, 1994 - when Jimmy ...

Thanks SMLCHNG... I think that did it!

With the tidal wave of thousands of YouTube videos hitting us each day sometime it's hard to find the gems. If you haven't already seen it- this is a gem. For all you Dads... old and new. Enjoy and share it. Phins Up.

Jim-have you been running into any embedding issues with YouTube videos or am I missing something.
The full address is as follows. Where does the actual ID end?

Thanks,

I've been have some trouble with what seems to be extended video IDs. I'm trying to find out where the actual ID ends. This is a test.

So that's Dukes. Looks crowded and not what I had in my mind but I'd go at least once.
That's what we initially thought when we got there. But it's a happy, mellow kind of crowd... like a Parrothead pre-function cluster phlocking. Picture the Street Party in Vegas...only with a beach. Truth is ...

Great place!
Had a business trip to Waikiki earlier this month (tough duty), and my wife and I stopped by there daily - including Sunday!!

P.S. Buffett's "Surf Museum" was a bit of a disappointent - just a small bar with a few not-so-old surfboards on the wall and a few kitschy items in cases. We ...

Henry Kapono is also playing Friday evenings at Duke's on Maui. Time to go back and shoot "Dukes on Friday" . 8)
Yeah, Henry Kapono has been a musical icon in the Islands for decades. He was part of the popular singing duo Cecilio & Kapono...which hit their stride in the '70s & '80s. I grew up ...

I know there are those of you who may have already seen this YouTube video ...but it just surpassed 4000 hits! I'm kinda proud of that. In any case if you haven't seen it- Dukes on Sunday is a very cool place to be and I go back as often as I can.

Hmmm...that would be a beautiful thing. Is your source pretty reliable? If so the announcement would come this week. Let's hope for Phins Up in Vegas!

Oh, the Key Largo days...those were some fun times...You going to be in LV if he comes again?
I'll never forget that first experience at Key largo (we booked thru Mike at TropoTravel). Yikes! We were on the second floor and the hallway had that funky wavy action as we walked to our room with our ...

There's actually reason for some hope...Here are some previous Vegas announcement dates:

2009....early FEBRUARY
2008... late MARCH
2007... mid JUNE
2006... mid MAY

So there just may be a chance for the West this year...maybe.

As a former SoCal resident and current LV resident, I have to say that the Vegas experience is very disappointing. While Jimmy's music is always great, going to a concert was as much about the preparty and tailgating in the parking lot as the concert itself. I would love to see that here.

And ...

I think Mick & Keith say it all in this video...."you're not the ONLY one...with mixed emoooooo-tions"




Jimmy...hello...Jimmy...anyone...there...?

Another Hawaiian local classic is "Island Style" by John Cruz...this takes you right to the essence of the local mindset.
(Jack Johnson calls him his favorite songwriter.)

I love that song. It paints such a nice picture!

Another hawaiian favorite of mine is "Aloha Friday" by Kimo ...

There's a lot of talk about not only where- but if- Jimmy will play in Vegas this year. What do you think?
