My guess is that the door is open for Fingers to rejoin the band. We can only hope he walks through it!

Driving to work this morning, listening to "WONDER WHY YOU EVER GO HOME "(VERY LOUD),off of You Had To Be There, I realized for the millionth time how much I miss the H in Jimmys music.

I am sorry...but I will have to agree with AF...Fingers closed that door one too many times!

I hate to sound like a total GOOBER...but will someone please 'splain to me what happened to begin all this strife between Fingers and Jimmy?

Here's the deal, I miss the H, Fingers is NOT THE ONLY H PLAYER IN THE WORLD, bring in a fresh player and all PH'S will be happy...what ever happened between him and Jimmy is OLD NEWS..Clint Black played the H a fews years ago in ATLANTA and he was great, bring in a new guy or gal, it does not HAVE TO BE FINGERS!!!!!

Blues travelors arent doing so good these days, maybe someone should call the new skinny John Popper.

dreaming:
The H player for a local band called 'McGuffey Lane' is absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE!!! I hate to admit it, but he IS better than Fingers or at least just as good!

I had a chance to talk with Fingers in Key West at MOTM and also saw him play in Irvine last November. I think something happened between them to cause this problem. The official word is that Jimmy put his foot down and would not let family go on the Tour a few years ago. Fingers and Mac didnt continue the tour but a little while later Mac was back but Fingers wasnt. Fingers was great to talk to, told me a few stories about him and Jimmy back in the early 70's. Any talk of him going back to the Reefers was met with "I'm doing other things now". Interesting that the producer of Fingers new blues album, ex Thunderbird, I think is "dating" Fingers hot ex-wife...

Very little fact but a lot of fiction in that.

Accountants made the decision not to PAY for families to tour with the band. The band only goes out for two week stints, half of which is spent in a hotel room. Between flights from home, charter jets between venues, and the best hotels, you do that math.

And that wasn't the issue between Jimmy and Fingers. Fingers knows full well what it was - I'm sure his reluctance to accept responsibility for his departure is a huge part of why that door is closed.

The "Official Word" is what the public was told a few years ago, I think 2000. There were several places I read that Jimmy didnt want families on tour and that what was told. I really believe something happened between them, but dont know exactly what.

I'll second that motion! Fingers is a great musician, but John Popper can only be classified as phenomonal!

nope, I believe the door is closed and if he did come back it would be for a concert or two.

PHINZ UP!!
