Hey PEI PH .... what summer show are you attending? It'll be quite an adventure for you and your keets. Jimmy's grandfather was from Cape Breton, so the Maritimes are special to him.

I am an old PH lady. And I mean old. Been to many shows and seen all the fun we crazies have. The cigarettes are plain wrong and inconsiderate, but the occasional lighting up of a joint I can handle. Guess that's weird ... my husband feels the same way. The smell and smoke from weed is just not as o...

I have to agree that "Don't Stop The Carnival" is just amazing. I have posted this before ... I am a Herman Wouk fan, and "Don't Stop The Carnival" was his true best! The fact that Jimmy could make it into a musical is awesome. He captured the whole story in true Buffet style ......

Re: Southern Cross question

[quote="Lono"]I love the song Southern Cross. I realize it is a Stephen Stills song, but I first learned the song through Jimmy. This is what Stephen Stills had to say about Souhern Cross: "The Curtis Brothers brought me a wonderful song called "Seven League Boots", but it d...

Don't think that the Mt View amphitheater is going to happen this year. As you mentioned, IH, he was here in January. But wait ... he was at the pond as well. Does that mean he is going to Anaheim again, and forsaking us up north????

Retired a few months ago. I feel like everyday is vacation! I have learned to wear many hats: tomorrow I will be a golfer, the next day I will be a professional shopper, the next day I may decide to be a food critic for a local bistro ... and on and on. Life is hard.

The year that he took the Hemisphere Dancer with him ... was it the Beach House Tour? Can't quite recall. Anyway ... he stopped by the Sportspage in Mt View a couple of hours before showtime. Hung out and drank a Corona. Everyone was very cool about it, and left him alone. He was obviously enjoying ...

Am I the only one who has listened to and enjoyed "Don't Stop the Carnival"? Guess you have to be a Herman Wouk fan as well, to be amazed at the music Jimmy wrote for the musical. The book is a riot, and JB put it to music and lyrics. It takes time to grow on you, but I consider it a major...

What Is the Title of This Song?

This is driving me nuts because I know I have it somewhere on one of my cds. Been searching for it, and come up blank. The song is the one that goes "things will get better, that's what they say as soon as we sail into Cane Garden Bay". Planning a vacation there, and need to hear that song...

Hi Kidmom ... no, that was not us. Didn't realize that there was pressuring to sit. Should have known that was why! Talked to several "floor" fans who said that they would rather have been elevated a bit. So ... guess there's no perfect seat.

Wobbly? A bit. From Jose C, not the Capt. We had great seats in 101, and everyone SAT! I couldn't believe it. The standing was only for a few numbers. I firmly believe that's why my Margaritas got spiked. Snagged a huge Corona Official sign which is now on the garage door. Fun to watch folks drive b...
