Well, I happen to be at the Kenny Chesney show at Gillette on Friday night and at the end of the show, Zac joined Kenny Chesney on stage to sing "Knee deep". The camera caught the masks and were shown on the large screen (the brothers we in the sandbar). Kenny saw the masks and asked for them. Well, Kenny took the masks and put them at the feet of the drum set along with all the other trinkets people gave him during the show.

My guess is Kenny took the masks as a trinket and we will never see them again at the Buffett show.

Not sure if anyone has an update, but I would be P**ssed if that happened to me after all the work I put into creating them.

I guess its back to drawing board.

I'd also be willing to bet that if Chesney did ask them for the masks, the brothers didn't just hand them over without some sort of compensation. I know that I wouldn't have. After all, if I've got something that you want, that lets me bargain from a position of strength.

I've never been to Great Woods, but I've seen the Kitchen brothers' masks in photos and videos forever. (I've seen their Jimmies, and an Alan Jackson. Cool they added a Zac!) My guess is that they're not the same masks from 2001 and perhaps before, and that they could make more if needed.

2003 thread, so 2001 pic: (How is Karen? I miss her... haven't 'seen' her in years!)

Sorry, I'm NOT trying to start a conversation about this - it's just my personal opinion and I know a lot of people don't share it.

What makes you think that?

Thanks for reminding me it was Keith who designed the masks. He designed the Zack Brown mask a few years ago when Jimmy and zack perfomed on CMT together. They were the original masks that Kenny took. They were definately worn and were not new. Keith has a picture of him and Jimmy on stage together (Keith wearing the mask) on the back of the mask, signed and all.

Worn, I don't know, I have no way of knowing that...However, they did appear to be a little more flimsey than I would have expected them to be.?

I guarantee Keith thought that Kenny and Zack would wear them and return them (just like Jimmy does) and I believe they were shocked to have seen the faces just tossed by the drummer (along with all the license plates). Take my word, Kenny did not pay compensation for the masks.

I use the masks to create happiness and make people smile, if it happens that Buffett, Alan Jackson, Chesney and Zac Brown enjoy my artwork and it happens to make them smile, than so be it...

For the record, Chesney asked for the Kenny mask and Zac masks after singing Knee Deep, they got a kick out of them. I never got any compensation, knowing that they like my art is good enough for me. I can make more...I am sure after Kenny looks at the back of the mask he will ask Jimmy about it since the back had many pics of Buffett and I together with the masks.

Oh the stories I could tell...

Keith!!! What up dude!??!
Being someone that not only has known Keith FOREVER... haha.. dang, has been many many years now! but someone that has worn the masks a few times.. I can say that (a) they are not flimsy... they're very cool.. and (b) Keith makes them up for the fun of it! He and his brothers got to dance on stage once (hokey pokey, correct?!) for Jimmy.. who's comment was.. "shameless".. hehe.. The Chesney concert it was Keith and his buddy Evan (also way cool guy!). He's got some of the pics up on FB. Jimmy has worn the masks a few times. Asked for them when he played a mini gig in the lot one year.. Keith will have to tell you that story.

We all do things and a part of us hope that one day, maybe... somehow.. the big guy will hear of it and want to meet us! Well, I do anyways. Someday I hope to say that Jimmy had some tonga juice and loved it! Someday...

so rock on Keith, your brothers and now Evan!
