Is when Robert Greenidge comes and performs a free show on July 4th with the Mannette Steel Drummers (the creator of the steel drum!).

This is so cool cause I'm helping plan & publicize the event, so I'll get to meet him. yay!

Very cool Melli

Hhhmmmm.... Sounds like a good time for a visit with the in-laws.

Hey Melli, I've been meaning to catch your attention...I am a '91 graduate of WVU. Spent 5 1/2 lovely years in Mo'town, crawling around Sunnyside etc. We're trying to go back this fall for a game, maybe 11/6 or 11/13. Just some "small world" stuff for you!

Finally, a discussion for the WV phs!!! Glad to see fellow 'eers posting on BN. I'm a '99 WVU grad. Anyone headed to Nissan this year?

wow this is so cool -- for the longest time I was the only one from WV (that i knew of)! So happy to see you all!

I'm a 2001 WVU Grad. Been here for 8 years...working here now.

smart woman -- let me know if you come to a game!

That's awesome for WV.

As a former resident of Huntington, it always saddened me that many major performers (except country artists) avoided WV. And while this isn't Jimmy and the CRB, it's still pretty awesome!

Melli I'm going to win the lotto tommorow its up to like
210 mil. when I have my winnings in hand will you help me
promote a JB show (just one of many for my BN friends)
PS you are invited to the Boise show also

Kara, I pretty much got shut out of Nissan tickets, needed 4 pavilion for the keets & 6 lawn, but only got 4 lawn. So I'm giving the lawn seats to the step-keets, and putting all my eggs in one basket for Pittsburgh. Haven't missed a Burgh show since he started playing there. I am coming up for the Columbus show in a few weeks--I had to get a show in just in case I get shut out of Pittsburgh too.

Melli, is the Grant St. block party tradition still in effect?

I'm from WV too! I migrated to Ohio.

Let's goooooo Mountaineers! (Let's gooooo drinks some beers!)

Definitely!!!!! That would be sooo cool! If I win, I'll do the same!

Smart Woman, sadly, no, the grant block party doesn't happen anymore.I guess in '95 somebody got really hurt, so they shut it down and created Fallfest (a huge free concert). I missed out on the block parties, but Grant Ave. is as wild as ever! What fun I had hanging out there!

Wow. I had no clue so many of you from WV!

So...you guys should come to Morgantown on July 4 evening...

LOL, I had an apartment on Grant Ave...and lived to tell about it!! What a mess we were!

July 4th would be so cool--I hope it turns out great for you!

I met Ellie Mannette last year at Pan Jam!
He is soooo nice

But, then so is Robert
If you get a chance, tell them both we can't wait for them to return to Pan Jam!!!

that's so cool! I can't believe the creator of the steel drum lives in my hometown! My goal for next year is to learn to play the steel drum!

Awesome! I can't wait. I hope that some local BN'ers will try to stop by...I know it is an important holiday though!
