I'd suggest part of the problem is there always seems to be a pretty large market for "resold" tickets. Requiring an I.D. and making the ticket holder match the ticket purchaser seems like a pretty good way to shut scalpers down. People who feel like they've gotten screwed in this situatio...

"Kudos on that. I've never been able to read more than one book at the same time." It helps to not double up on genres. more than one fiction can be difficult. Otherwise it's a bit of reverting back to college and reading for multiple classes. Something scientific, something historical, a...

It's rare to get a chance to see someone "in the moment" and being themselves like what this series captures. Were this being done by someone other than family I don't think you'd get the same feeling to it. Delaney calling Jane on the phone for "Mandolin," and the very unexpecte...

I'm pretty sure that Pre-You was played at a show I attended on the Hot Water tour. Probably one of the few albums that he's played all the songs live at one time or another. False Echoes - I believe I've heard him say in an interview that he would never play it simply because he doesn't think he ca...

check out the Ozone Bar at the Ritz Carlton on the Kowloon side for the best view of the entire area. Drinks are pricey, but view is worth every drink. The Peak is a bit of a tourist trap, but also has nice views and the train ride up is interesting. Areas for eating and drinking: Lan Kwai Fong near...

Seriously doubt that his schedule would allow for a "quick" trip to Bora during this leg of the Fin Land Tour. It's a 5 hour flight south from Honolulu and only one scheduled flight a week from there. Likewise, not a daily schedule from L.A. either. And Bora is an additional flight as well...

Try spending a day driving out to Charles Lindbergh's grave. Drive to Hana and keep going, it's at a small church on the south side of Maui. Never know who you might see off the beaten path.

So I just got word from my buddy that he and his wife were invited to the show on Saturday night and he said it was about a 2 hour show and that a DVD is being made that should come out shortly. Whatever shortly might mean. He also said that the show raised about $35,000 for the cause it was intende...

I'm in the same boat of disappointment at missing the show on Bora as everyone else. I've been spending most of my vacations on the island for more than 25 years, and have always wanted to be lucky enough to catch him doing a show there. I don't think you'll ever have much of a heads up for anything...

There are no real venues to play in the outer islands of French Polynesia. The island of Tahiti, where the capital and international airport is has perhaps 3 very small venues where he could play what most would consider a traditional concert setting. Out on Bora, which is part of the Society Island...

Just thought I'd throw out a heads up to any PHs on Bora this week. My buddy's wife just rented him a car this afternoon, and has heard that he'll be playing at Bloody Mary's one of the nights he's on the island. Wish I was back there now, but instead I'm somewhere over China. Macau to be exact. Fas...

The outdoor bar at Hurricane Hole Marina is called The Green Parrot. It's a gazebo bar just off the right side of the bridge as it lands on Paradise Island. I can vouch for Fridays being busy as it's one of the off duty nights for several of the live aboard dive charters in the area. I used to hang ...

I had the chance to go backstage on the hot water tour when it made it to Sydney and SGH pretty much nailed the experience. I was given tix and passes by Bobby Liberman, JB's road manager at the time, and it was a great experience. Got to talk to most of the band; Rita Coolidge, Steve Cropper and th...

They also played a show at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh with the living room set. The Mosque is gone, but I was at that show. The same deal....Pizza's for the crowd to begin the second set and it appeared to be real domino's delivery kid that they brought on stage. He appeared to be pretty rattled...

I have a very good friend who is the director of the cruise ship dock in Grand Turk. The Margaritaville there is on the docks property and is only open when a cruise ship is at the dock. It caters strictly to "those lovely cruise ship couples....you know....those condo commandos." They're ...

Geographically you can get to Jamaica pretty easily, and it sounds like you've "been there, done that." Honeymoons are typically a "once in a lifetime" kind of deal, so I'd be thinking in those terms. I spend a lot of time in Bora, and it's an amazing place. It is a long way to t...

So here's a link to the jesse winchester site and the lyrics to "nothing but a breeze." JB covers a lot of guys and winchester has written quite a few songs that you'll recognize if you check out his site. http://www.jessewinchester.com/nothing.shtml hope that clears up a lot of curiosity ...

Bahama Breeze got it right...sort of. The album is a follow up to Captain Fantastic. I just saw Elton John perform a couple of weeks ago in Vegas and he made mention of the new album. The title references himself and Bernie Taupin and it's not a Buffett cover.
