Sometimes people want a shirt because they're in love with the idea of having a shirt... rather than really just wanting a shirt.

I tried loading up the jimmydreamz ftp site but I can't connect. It may be my hosts fault, but I have to ask first: has anything changed with the site recently?

I loved the video of Jimmy catching a wave behind that ship. Was that in Galveston, do you think? Sure looked a lot like our murky bay water if you ask me.

Re: What happened to get Drunk?????????

I agree that Minute Maid accoustics were really bad. Don't you think his voice sounded great, though? Independent of the set list, I thought he sounded better than ever. His voice sounds richer, he was more in tune, seldom off pitch at all. He has a better ring to his voice these days I think. Most ...

Then, when Jimmy and Mac hit the first chords of TONIGHT I JUST NEED MY GUITAR, everything and everyone melted and it was just like it was in the beginning, when I fell in love with the man and the stories ... he was back to his roots. I thought it was a nice touch that as they were getting to the ...

Re: What happened to get Drunk?????????

I was waiting for Lets Get Drunk,,, but that never came up,,, He usually plays that,,, Wonder why he didn't? Because he's mixing it up ... He's giving us something to talk about. Do you think he puts that kind of thought into set lists? I don't know... I just wonder about that. In other words, do y...

Some of the world's best artists are less known. I think Robert Earl Keen certainly qualifies. He's a great songwriter and has a decent singing voice. Maybe he's better known in Texas.

For me it was ok, I guess. For those of us familiar with the new Bama Breeze tunes, it was fine. But it was apparent that most of the people near me had never heard the Bama Breeze tunes before, so they were just sitting on their hands during those tunes. With the exception of Reggabilly Hill, the B...

Suggestions - Get two pygmy palm planters, with a couple of little palms each, and place them on either side of the front of your business. Hire a local sign company to draw colorful palm trees on the windows of your shop. That's never expensive. Consider renaming the shop to sound tropical. Somethi...

He likes us better. Jimmy spends alot of time out here in Nantucket and the Vineyard. Alot. Look at half the letters he writes fan like in Salty Piece of Land or the current Coconut Telegraph . . . he signs them from the Vineyard or Cape Cod or Nantucket or off the coast of Maine. He knows the peop...

Generally NO. I buy only what I'm going to use. But I did by extra to Houston this year because I was unfamiliar with the Stadium and wasn't sure of what I was getting. I will be selling these to a FAN. Best seats will be to the left of the stage. That's because the big screen is to the right of th...

I beg to differ. Television markets are not based on population. I am in media production. I just got through producing a commercial this morning. Houston, TX is the 4th largest city in the US, but our TV market doesn't even make the top 10. In population, our metro area dwarfs Atlanta, Detroit, an...

I bought $1K worth of tickets for this show, knowing that my friends and others would need/want them. I would never re-sell a ticket for more than I paid for it.
