Now that I have met Mac (last Friday), Jimmy is the only member of the current CRB that I have NOT met.

I've also met TC, Amy, Heather, and Louisa (but not Jules).

And I fed Charleston

Beleive it or not, I met Mack @ Charlotte last year. He was just standing near the celebrity entrance just chatting with people and I said "damn, thats Mac!!". Most people there didn't seem to know who he was.....

A friend of mine also said she met Jimmy @ MArg Orlando in April. Did anyone else have a similar experience.

I met them all but no stories to tell or rather none I am willing to share.

I met Jimmy at the Orlando Margaritaville in Feb the day after the Orlando show. Only got to talk to him for a minute and get his autograph but it was cool!

I have met Fingers and Doyle. I would really love to meet Robert! I love the way he plays the pans!

Garry invited me along to have breakfast with him and Doyle the day after the Chicago show last year. Doyle's a really good guy. Garry asked him if he could send me a copy of the CD he had given Garry, I think it's out of print, and I asked him how much I owed him as I took my wallet out. He said not to worry about it, he was just glad someone still wanted to listen to it.

The closest I've come to meeting Jimmy was when I asked him to sign my ticket at the Paris show but "Jimmy, can you sign my ticket?" "Yeah, sure" isn't really meeting him.

I was lucky enough to meet Doyle and Amy last year when they played with the Boat Drunks in Bloomington Illinois. They were both very nice. I had the opportunity to talk with Amy quite a bit. They both signed CD's for me. I would love to meet Jimmy though, that would be the ultimate.

Never, but it's high up on the list of “things to do."

I sort of met Mac and Fingers some time back when they were putting on a show in Ybor City (Tampa) the night before Jimmy was playing the former Ice Palace in Tampa. But it was more like a close encounter than an actual meeting; a quick “how’s it going?” and an autograph.

Also got to meet "The Legend" Captain Tony at the same show, which was pretty cool.

I need to start working on a plan to get me close to him next time they are in town

Never met Jimmy, but last year at the Noblesville show, I got to meet and get a picture with Ralph MacDonald, Robert Greenidge, and Michael Utley. They were out walking around the crowd before the concert while a cover band was playing outside. They were very friendly and appreciative, except they wouldn't get me in backstage

drink in the same bar atleast once a year . . . it gets rather predictable around here. No one really cares unless he plays . . . otherwise he is just a regular guy who tends to p*** alot - he must be getting old or something.

I haven't met Jimmy yet...still waiting for that!

But I did meet Michael and Ralph at the M'ville in Orlando the day after the Tampa show a few years back. It was really more of a quick hello, but it counts in my book

As many BNers know, Jimmy played there that night, but I had a flight to catch. Would have been worth missing the plane (maybe be one come Monday) had I known!

I have not, but I'd sure like to. I'm hoping to run into him at a blackjack table in Vegas... that would make my year.

I haven't met Jimmy yet. I've met Doyle, Robert, "Fingers" Taylor, and Michael. I've got a nice picture of me and Michael around somewhere, and I've registered well enough with him that he recognizes me when we're in the same place.
