Although I already posted a youtube of Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding, this version shows Neko Case sitting next to Jesse with tears at the end...

Just beautiful:

That was a fantastic version, thanks

Allen Toussaint and a touching version of Southern Night



SOUTHERN NIGHTS
When I was a little boy, I used to go out to the country where the old folk live...all the old folk that used to speak creole and talk that funny talk.".?.".people from our ancestors and we love them a lot and this song was written about them.

Southern Nights,
Have you ever felt a Southern Night
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so...

Southern sky,
Just as good even when
Closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

Feel so good, feel so good it's frightening
Wished I could...
Stop this world from fighting
La da da la da da da da


Southern skies, have you ever noticed Southern skies
Its precious beauty lies
Deep beyond the eye
Then it goes rushing through your soul
Like the storm was told of old...


Old Man, he and his dog they walk the whole land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
The weeping willows would cry for joy
I will cry for joy...

Mysteries...
like this and many others in the trees
They all blow in the night
In the Southern Skies
And the Southern sky

if you can take a bicycle. There are bike lanes all over the place down there. During heavy trafic events its faster than a car to get around that way. Or you could just rent one an spread a little more money 'round.

Excellent idea. I called them, $15 for single speed, $20 for 3-speed. Free drop off and delivery. Includes lock and helmet. Sounds like a plan.

Keep on shining...and "Shine On"

Par-tay on the Beach!!!

Speaking of parties, you want me to bring any beer from here?

Thanks for the offer (((((((Ravi))))))) But I know you are flying in, so that's okay, less you'll have to worry with.

But since I'm driving, I can bring a couple of Texas beers for you though (Shiner 100 and Lonestar)...will that work?

Did I ever tell you how much I love you right now?

((( KK ))) Always ok. Thanks.

No worries, BBB.

When do you get into GS?

Well, I get into Pensacola around 11 AM your time on Saturday, and after that not sure. Depends on if I drop off my stuff at where I'm staying.

[aeroparrot]

Not sure about actual open container "law", but they say no glass, use a koozie or a cup and you'll be fine. We walked the beach with cocktails and saw others.

I guess the Surrender the Booty koozie will make the trip.

Roddie Romero will play LuLu's Saturday night, then open for Jimmy on Sunday. Here's his link or go on youtube and check him out.

Roddie sounds like a great musician. Thanks for the link. Ought to be plenty entertaining.

I see that Dudley the drummer played with Sonny Landreth on tour and was at some of the Buffett concerts.

So, is HUB CITY, Hattiesburg, MS?

The Hangout has posted a "special show" Saturday at noon....Calling all Parrotheads!!

[aeroparrot]

Just saw on FB...

Ilo Ferreira Saturday night at 6:30 at Lulu's!!!!!

Too many people to see soooo little time...

count me out...........i LOVE Ilo but i am sure the crazy people who think Jimmy is going to show up at Ilo's show will jam the play and act like a$$HATS like down at MOTM last year...........

Me as well, Christine. Would love to see Ilo too, but already have plans to be elsewhere.

Same here!!! and now Brent is playing at Oceans.....we may try to leave Fairhope a little early and stop to catch his last few songs!

Interesting. I have seen Ilo a lot up here so this may be a possibility depending on my ride.

Any word on any of the CRB showing up anywhere?

I guess this was answered.
