Need to add: Buckwheat Zydeco, Donna the Buffalo, and my "re-discovery" of Dr. John. Hey Minty, How's things in the USVI? Things are good here. We're into high season so our dive center is very busy and full! Of course, the weather couldn't be better. I love the winter season here, at lea...

Alot of famous people fly commercial. Maybe they just want to feel normal or get away from some of the other's they have to spend so much time with.

You may also want to talk to Lundah- he's temporarily somewhere in the BVI, I think, and I'm pretty sure he's not so keen on actually working there for any longer than the project he's on. Yep, I'm here until at least the end of June. And while it's a beautiful place to visit & I'll definitely ...

I've lived on St. Thomas since Nov. I don't know you, so it's really difficult for me to advise you. How material how you??? Living on the island is very different than living in the states. The attitude and the people here is so different than you are used to. Many people who move here from the sta...

I like his music. Yeah, it is somewhat nasal, but he is a great songwriter. Seeing him in concert is always a great time! My husband plays alot of his music in his set.

Good purchase, you'll enjoy it.

hmmm, a petition? Don't think that would even matter at this time, the tour is already planned and what will be - will be.

Of course we'd all love to see it happen!

My gut is telling me Fingers will be on stage again. I agree about what someone said about the horns being let go for this to happen. Making sense now. Guess I may have to leave the island for a week to see and hear for myself. I won't be bidding on any $200 lawn tickets. Rather, I'll show up and h...
