Remember "38 Special" ???
an American rock band that was formed by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant in 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida.[1] The band's first two albums had a strong southern rock influence. By the early 1980s, 38 Special shifted to a more accessible arena rock style without abandoning its southern rock roots. This shift helped to usher in a string of successful albums and singles.

Their breakthrough hit was "Hold On Loosely" (1981). "Caught Up in You" (1982) and "If I'd Been the One" (1983) both hit #1 on Billboard magazine's Album Rock Tracks chart. "Back Where You Belong" (1984) continued the annual sequence of radio favorites, and "Second Chance" (1989) was a #1 hit on Billboard's adult contemporary chart.

In 2007, 38 Special was the opening act on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr.'s Rowdy Frynds Tour, and on September 27, 2008, they filmed a CMT Crossroads special with country singer Trace Adkins, performing both artists' hits from over the years. In 2009, 38 Special opened for REO Speedwagon and Styx as part of the "Can't Stop Rockin' Tour."

As of 2011, the lineup consists of Don Barnes, Donnie Van Zant, guitarist Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps and drummer Gary Moffatt.

Hey all, needs some help and advice.........

Wife and I are torn about the possibility of bring our 10 year old daughter with us to Doubletree, then busing to the show. Is it appropriate?

You need to know, she does "Fins" every time she hears the song, carries herself much older than her age, could list 20 Buffet songs off the top of her head without hesitation..... favorite songs are Pencil thin mustache, Migration, and one particular harbor............so not the "pop" tunes. Beach bum and no pop music here. Begged me to call her and hold up phone at Jimmy's Blossom show in Cleveland last year...........

Opinions welcome. Good kid, more adult than kid, not sure how that happened, but......it is a Buffet show, and while the crowd is great, it will be drunk.............

Honest thoughts, no jokes appreciated. For some reason we are really struggling with what to do, and trust fellow Parrotheads to offer advice.

I post this here, because if you are going to show, and at Doubletree, you WILL met her............she would be the one with the face paint, banner, and dressed for the occasion, hanging with with two much older Parrots.........

Thank you!

Our 12-year old daughter will be joining us for her 3rd Buffett Show (2 previous in Camden) and our 9-year old son will be along for his FIRST Buffett show.

We will be on the bus from the Doubletree. We know several of the Pittsburgh crew from previous visits and they are some great pholks. I say do it!

See you there!

I have often thought about this too since I have kids the similar age. My thoughts are that it depends on how drunk you guys as parents get. I would feel awkward bringing my kids to a Buffett show but that's cuz we tailgate early and get pretty crazy. But if you just bring her, have a few beverages and watch the other people be stupid then I think that's ok. People at Buffett shows are a bunch of the friendliest drunks in the world!!!

I took my 2 kids at 10 and 9....I told them once they KNEW 10 songs they could go

I think its cool to take them but you the only down side is you cant get to drunk..just a buzz!...but its worth it to SEE your KIDS lov'in JIMMY!!!!


trying to make this show..still up in the air..I am in for PHILLY and JONES BEACH in AUG and the 2 VEGAS shows in OCT:)
