I was told that I "misvoted". I just didn't know that I saw Fingers in 91 :roll: cuz I didn't know who anyone was back then. :o

I first saw/heard Fingers and Jimmy at a place called The Cellar in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC in 1977 . Happily attended many shows with Fingers as part of the CRB and yes, he did play some percussion and sang backup vocals. I agree with what ETP said - my first 22 years of enjoying JB music included Fingers...I am happy he's being included again.

I first saw Fingers at the Honolulu concert in 1987.
I haven't seen him since 1999.

He's okay-I can take him or leave him.

I saw him somewhere in Portland Me. around '78. The first time I can clearly remember is at Buffett's first show at Great Woods in 85 or 86....I guess that's not that clear ,Huh.

Cincy, June 8, this year....his first time back on stage with Jimmy in years. His SURPRISE showup. The place went nuts. I hurt my voice and jumped up and down so much, I almost lost my______________. You can fill it in. I always loved the fill-in-the-blanks tests in school [smilie=battingeyes.gif] :lol:

APLAF from A1A just popped up on the iPod....oh my goodness. That's what I'm talking about. I love Amy Lee, but this is what I heard when I first learned to love Jimmy. ~Sigh~

Seen him. One year he did "Some White People Can Dance" with the C.R.B., I wish I could remember what year it was so I could track it down.

Thankfully YES! Many, many times. The "fallin' out" was at the time we were having our 'keets 19 mos. apart, so it was a shock to go to a concert, after missing a couple of years, and realize he was really gone!

Hopefully Fingers will make the whole circuit next summer ... or could there (PLEASE) still be hope for an Atlanta or Charlotte show in February?!?!?!

Listen to Dixie Diner from You Had To Be There and see if you don't change your mind. He hasn't been out on tour with people like "Magic Dick" from the J. Geils Band because he's just "ok".
