Have had the chance to sit and talk with TC, Robert and Michael down at MOTM 2006. Great people and very friendly. But, my favorite of all is Peter. He is so down to earth and seems to have a little time for everyone. This past May in St. Louis, during his meet-n-greet (after playing for 3 hours) he sent me to my car so that he could sign my Blue Guitar. That meant a lot considering the time of night and for as long as he sat their signing and talking. Will never forget that and that along with the others is why it will be disappointing to not have them down at MOTM this year!

well i can say that i encountered robert g a few years ago at the saint patrick day show in san jose. on my to my seat, he was standing outside a suite talking to a woman. he was very nice about being discovered, but he did have the look of the a deer in the head llights.

"he went to paris looking for answers to questions that bothered him so"

Still trying to figure out how I'm going to meet Jimmy. No luck so far but I'm holding my breath.

And you can't stay at a Holiday Inn Express if the construction is not complete!

Met Jimmy 3x, but is was way back in the day, before I knew what cash flow meant!!!!

Now I'm impressed. What a pic. She had the sexiest look/pose. And if you look at it from the right angle, it looks as if you're as excited as I would be.

Yes,(see photo below) got to spend 15-20 minutes with him, he is actually as nice of a person as we all believe he would be. I have a voicemail on my phone from Jimmy too.
I hope all BN'ers get the chance to meet him.

"What a nice guy....."

I've never met you , Larry, but after seeing the picture of you and Heather, I hate you ( Actually just very jealous ). I think you and I are 2 of the founding fathers of the Guys Over 50 Heather Fan Club!

Sorry - i forgot what the question was. Never met Jimmy but I have met Peter and Jim Mayer, Robert, Mr. Utley, Tina AND Heather. Met them at Tampa Ice Palace when they did Club Trini shows before the concert. They all signed my Club Trini CD. Also met T.C. Mitchell before a show in Raleigh. Of all of them, Peter Mayer was the most gracious - nice guy. They all are!

I met Jimmy last January on a beach in the BVI's. Four nights in a row we anchored in the same bay as the Continental Drifter III as we moved about the islands. One afternoon we headed to shore for a tour over to Cow Wreck Bay, Jimmy walked up with his bike and we talked for a couple minutes. Best part of the trip. That night we ate Anegada Lobster on the beach, drank some rum and danced to JB music under the stars.
Planning our trip again for this Jan.
Hope we get to see ya again Jimmy....

Um, Me? Then again, I couldn't give a rat's ass about Heather Dee Perry!

I have met Jimmy (BuffettonmyBMW can attest to that one)

And I have met Heather (LIPH is my witness for that encounter)

Both were extremely cool people, although both were quite sweaty at the time. If I had to choose one to hug while sweaty and one to have a beer with, I think the choice would be obvious.

Yes, I was a witness. And you were a witness when Heather jumped up and down in the Jones Beach parking lot when she saw me.
