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.)

Re: Favorite island themed song or songs (not by Jimmy)
This is one of my favorites- having grown up in Hawaii-from IZ. Somewhat an unknown but a gem nonetheless. It's called "Hele on to Kauai"

Re: Loggins & Messina..early Trop Rockers
Saw them a couple times on their reunion tour last year. We knew it was going to be a good show, but we walked away extremely impressed. One of the best shows we saw last year. And I agree....I think they are underrated. In 1974 I attended Loggins & Messina's "Full Sail" Tour as it pa...

Re: Loggins & Messina..early Trop Rockers
Love L& M. Used to listen to them all the time back in the 70's....... [smilie=whistle.gif] you're mamma don't dance ...... and daddy don't rock n' roll I don't think they ever really got their due in terms of the great music they made back then. Kenny Loggins is one of the greatest songwriters...

Re: Will JB ever return to the MGM in Vegas?
I wouldn't mind that at all. The only problem is The Orleans has a capacity of 9000 and the MGM Grand holds 17,0000. Jimmy might have to do some double-duty there.goodtime_mo wrote: There's always the Orleans Arena.

Loggins & Messina..early Trop Rockers
Listening to Loggins & Messina's "Vahevala" (from "Sittin' In") recently took me back to that 1972 college party when I heard it for the first time as the sun was coming up. I remember thinking what a great sound that was- and wanting more of the same. Then came the "Ful...

Brilliant youtube video...a must see
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.. This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen...forward and backwar...

Re: Awaiting WEST COAST dates...with mixed emotions.
Lesson to learn: If you have a chance to do something now, do it now, don't put it off. Went to Vegas in May, it was fun, but just was not the same. MGM pushed all the parrothead stuff out from the pool to an alley. A garbage alley. If A date comes out for spring in LV or elsewhere, TAKE IT RICK! I...

Re: Awaiting WEST COAST dates...with mixed emotions.
Not everyone travels thousands of miles. After cancelling the shows last fall in SD/Irvine?Vegas. you think we'd at least get a date to look forward to. Loyality goes 2 ways...or so I thought There're still a lot of frayed feelings out there about what happened last year (I made a bunch of noise ab...

So after last years fiasco with the cancellation of the West Coast Tour is JB management empathetic...or not... to the damage that was done. Right now I think fans out here just want to believe we matter. We can forgive and forget. Just show us some love Jimmy..that's all. :) Mountain View..... Oct....

For those in THE Blizzard-you need to watch this video <:•)

Re: Will JB return to the MGM in Vegas any time soon?
This is just my humble opinion, but if the rumors are true that Jimmy will be playing secondary markets this year I would not be at all surprised if the tour is completely different compared to previous years when we expected and counted on him playing the usual venues. However, this year I think w...

Re: Will JB return to the MGM in Vegas any time soon?
What would be awesome is to see Jimmy at the pool at Mandalay, BUT it's nowhere near big enough. As far as City Center I agree with the what was written, I was extremely disappointed with Aria. After all the hype I was expecting something awesome, the architecture is the best part of the place, but...

Will JB ever return to the MGM in Vegas?
Been laying low...watching for signs of Jimmy's possible return to the MGM any time soon. Much could depend on the success of the City Center project that opened last December. Investors are trying (understandably) to put the very best spin on it... http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jan/04/easter...

I was in Vegas the weekend of the 17th playing with friends. We decided to go ahead and go with the booked plans after the concert was shelved. Went to M'ville for breakfast one morning.
