No, this REALLY happened I pretty sure. A few years ago this dealer at Key largo is dressed up as Elvis. Belt buckle, white jumpsuit and everything. Every year I try to play against Elvis (I think that's a nickname, I forget his real name) I win every time against Elvis and have a great time. He can...

The "Official Word" is what the public was told a few years ago, I think 2000. There were several places I read that Jimmy didnt want families on tour and that what was told. I really believe something happened between them, but dont know exactly what.

I had a chance to talk with Fingers in Key West at MOTM and also saw him play in Irvine last November. I think something happened between them to cause this problem. The official word is that Jimmy put his foot down and would not let family go on the Tour a few years ago. Fingers and Mac didnt conti...

Five shows this year (Vegas-2 San Diego-1 Irvine-2) and each was better than the last one. I missed my fav Savannah fare you well on Sat but Tampico Trauma (76) was a great replacement. Irvine is great for sound quality, but I like the Chula Vista lot better. SDPirate 40 has a hot car. How many driv...

YES It was the '70's and all I have are the good memories. The '77 show was in Lakeland on 4/2/77 just after Margaritaville and CIA was released. The concert was actually a two day music festival called "Sunfest" (I think) and had Orleans, Ozark Mt daredevils and many bands I cant remember...

First concert in 1977 in Florida and at least 35 since then. San Diego and two shows in Irvine are rapidly approaching. Time to start planning (Mayor?)

I was wondering if anyone has seen the Cinemax Sessions featuring Roy Orbison made in the early 90's. It was shot in black and white and featured Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne and a whole bunch of other famous musicians I can't remember right now. Mr. Utley was the muscial direct...

Mr. WhiteOveralls, if you do tour and come to San Diego the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach is a great small venue (500-600 I think).

Sorry for the misinformation. Hey, have you ever heard of the "Jeep Jamboree" that runs from Tahoe down the mountain and ends up in Placerville (I think). They use to run it in the '70s and it was a h*** of a party. The run uses riverbeds and thru forests with at least one night camping ou...
