Re: Nashville Show Weather

A few parting comments and I will give this thread a rest... I am still adventurous, but my life and even moreover, my wife's life is much more important than a concert of any kind. My love of music, particularly JB is only a part of my life. Not worth taking a serious chance. The tragedy that has f...

Re: Nashville Show Weather

My wife and I got as far towards Nashville as Lebanon TN. We checked into a motel and the staff began telling us the procedure for tornado warnings. We turned on the tv to local weather warning of a set of tornado warnings along with roads that were begining to be closed. We decided as much as I lov...

Re: Have You Seen Jimmy Perform "God's Own Drunk" in Person?

Yes, In Charlotte last year. As an encore, by himself. Many of the somewhat younger crowd were puzzled by it, but the older faithful were amazed. I know I was.

Re: Who's going to Raleigh on April 23rd?

Sad year for the land pirate...
Job has changed, find myself unable to attend either NC concert this year. Went to both last year. Raleigh was the best concert tailgate I have ever attended! Will be home listening on Margaritaville. Drink in hand, song in head, island in heart.

Thanks Jimmy B

As I sit here watching the first snow flakes of this season fall outside, I reflect on this past spring/summer/fall. I listened to the concert Saturday night on RM and it hit me to say thanks for a great summer. My wife and I got to see two concerts and listen to several others on RM. In spite of so...

Pro: He is still having fun. I have seen him twice this summer and never saw him frown. The whole time, I was not frowning. I am heading quickly to 50 and I hope if I live to 60, I can do anything and smile for three hours. The music takes me away from where I work daily, to a place where I wish I c...

It's not that people should not have opinions, its just that where one chooses to express that opinion is subject to review. I read BN to see how the concert went the night before, or how people are getting together for the next one, or just what people are thinking about. It's basically a fan board...

Anything official on Duke?

Has anything been offcially set on a June 7th Duke show? It is hard to pass up one show if there is nothing set on another. Want to go on a weekend, but tickets go on sale for Charlotte tomorrow.
