I know there have been some great shows in the past coupla years,
but I haven't been to one yet.

I live within driving distance of Virginia's eastern shore and I feel
like I ought to make the trip next time the harp man plays down there.

Who has been to the show and how would you describe it?

bravedave: In a word.....GO! We were there this past weekend and it was awesome. This was our second year in a row. Last year Fingers was also there and so was the Sauce Boss. This year, Fingers and Utley played with the Island Boys. Personally, I think they played too much Buffett (Margaritaville/Cheeseburger/etc) and not enough Fingers. The best part was after the show, Fingers and Utley stayed around for about an hour and there weren't a lot of people crowded around them so we had a lot of time to chat. My converstion with Utley was mainly geared around the No-Club-Trini-Show-Blues. My husband scored an original copy of Mad Music a few months ago so we had that signed. Fingers looks happier now than I've seen him in a long time. If you want to see our pics from the show, visit JimmyDreamz, Capt. Jim has some posted there.

Thanks, 2fla

Your experience is exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Anybody else care to weigh in with similar (or contrasting) stories?
I'd love to hear 'em all.

Here in Michigan we are fortunate that we get to see Fingers play on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes with a tropical Buffett-type band, sometimes with a blues band. Either way, it is always a great show.

Fingers is usually very approachable for a chat or autographs. Although ...I think he may be a little weary of being asked when he is going back with Jimmy.

Just go!

Hey Dave that sounds like a pretty interesting trip. Might have to meet you down there ......

MM-
I don't know when I'm going to go, but I pray he keeps showing up each year. I'll get there someday, with any luck.
