I also have large hands but really short fingers in comparision. I have to reley on playing open chords on my acoustic because the neck is thick, but on my Fender Electric, it is much easier to use barre chords because the strings are lighter and smaller and the neck is thin. I don't have the games,...

That is a great show. I used to have it on VHS but watched it so much I wore it out! I would love to have that band back together for another tour with that set list! Josh Leo and his over alls and Fingers with his harp.

I second that! As a self taught player, I take more pride in what I can play and how I can play on a real guitar than what I do in the video game version. While I do play video games, rock band and guitar hero are not my cup of tea. My newphews, 12/6 have rock band for the PS2 and I have played it a...

Lord Buckly did the original version and Jimmy copied it on an album and "You had to be there". I prefer the live version. Some time after his recordings, he was sued by Buckly's family I believe over either royalites or rights to the song. For a while there he never performed it but perfo...

From what I remember, I think that I read it somewhere or heard it in an interview, he was in New Orleans when he was young, maybe when he first started to preform, and he was haning out with friends in an apartment and that was the first time he heard God's Own Drunk. My head is so full of Buffett ...

Maybe....Not sure yet. Depends on how things go at the show Thursday night and the Cubs game Friday afternoon. If the wife wants to go then we will most likely be there. Later Pholks!

If Bubba is giving them a shot, the least that they could do is spell his name right on thier webpage. Anyone know what time they are taking the stage in Chicago on Thursday?

Just let me know where everyone is meeting at before the game and we will be there. I am not the one to be making plans here, this will be my first trip to Wrigley. They are playing some great ball lately too. This is the year!! I was so close to going to the show in Detroit the other night, but the...

That is cool and all, but I was kinda hoping the some of guys would join Mac at his show. The last time I saw Mac (see post above) everyone was there, except Bubba. Fingers, The Mayer Bros, Tina, Sr. Utley. What time is Club Trini playing?

I think the Mac show might be a game time decision. I don't run as hard I used to in my youth, so I might leave it up to the wife. The venue looks cool and the price is right, so I don't know. Please keep me informed about the game on Friday though. It will be cool to meet for lunch or whatever befo...

Wait a minute....Isn't there a HC's in Wrigleyville or am I slow tonight? I am not going to take any chances on driving Friday, we are going to take the train. I would like to get there around 11 or depending on how I feel from the night before. Don't know what is going on for Friday night yet. Wher...

I think, I think, that this is my 25th Buffett show. Not bad for a late bloomer. My first show was when I was 17, Pine Knob, and I am pushing 30 real fast (December). I know what I am going to get with Buffett, the shows have been pretty much the same the last few years. I am really excited about go...
