6 years ago I bought the "SYKBH Yellow album" I had heard some of

the songs before because I worked at a radio station, but really knew

little about the man or his music. I went to my first show in 2004 in

Columbia, SC. I enjoyed that so when he was in Columbia again I went

again in 2005. I signed up to get advance tickets and in 2006 got floor

dead center 20 rows back. Thats when I met the first person from BN

live, PHnSC.

2006 also took me to Atlanta and Tampa where I met many more BN'rs.

This year I have been fortunate enough to see Jimmy in Orlando where I

got his autograph, Took my first trip across the "Big Muddy" to Houston

for a show with a great group of Texan fans, Did Atlanta at an indoor

venue, Did Cincinnatti with the help of Auntie, (and an illegal u-turn on

the interstate going to reprint my ticket) Finally finished up with two shows

in Tampa.

I just got a raise so who knows what will happen next year!

I love you all each and everyone whom i have met or will meet in the

future. Phriends here have saved me from total despair and I feel blessed

to have your distant but warm company.

and at a frat party in college the Live version of "Get Drunk and Screw" from Feeding Frenzy came on . . . the reaction from a house full of college kids was amazing so I asked my buddy . . . "what is this?" and he laughed . . . called me a loser . . . and walked away. The next morning the CD was in my back pack with a note that read, "Educate yourself and I will take you to Great Woods on Labor Day . . ."

And here I am . . .

Only problem was at the time, all I knew about JB was that he toured every year to a bunch of freaks, and the five minutes i knew of him (I worked at an ampitheater in CT) didn't seem to make any sense (walked through the concert area during the "sermon" on the Feeding Frenzy tour. So one night my buddies and I got a liter of Cuervo, a bag of limes, and a bunch of CD's and over the next several hours they played me the son gs they felt I REALLY had to know by heart.

Wait, I thought that one was about hamburgers or something...?
