Tootsie's Orchid Lounge....the only other one is in Nashville, and apparently it's where all the Country greats hang out....Last weekend Willie and Hank Jr were seen there.....I didn't even know it was opening there!

As reported on WJHG last night, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge will open in Pier Park in mid-May 2008. Grand opening celebrations will be Memorial Day weekend.

The orginal Tootsie's is in Nashville and features nightly country music entertainment. See their website: WORLD FAMOUS TOOTSIES ORCHID LOUNGE (turn speakers on for full effect)

Tootsie's history:
"Long ago, when country music superstars were performing at the Grand Ole Opry, this lounge became famous for featuring those stars when the "big show" was over. Fans still come here to see top-name performers and local artists alike, and the atmosphere hasn't changed a bit. The stage is small, but the sound is still huge and country music lovers still ring up enormous bar tabs, just like in the old days."

WJHG interviewed the owners of Tootsie's last night and they stated they sent invitations to every music artist they know to come perform at the new Tootsie's in Panama City Beach.

As their saying goes: "You never know who you'll see at Tootsie's!"

Btw do you know who is playing at Margartiaville? I don't know who is in charge of their website but they really don't have anything listed for PCB as far as events and smugglers hold items. I imagine the store has just about everything that all the other stores have.
I know that Gene Mitchell plays a couple days a week (Tuesday and Wednesday I think) at Margaritaville and then he plays at Calypso restaurant too. I don't know who plays the rest of the time,but I'll try to find out.

Got the scoop so far on who is playing and when on the 'Porch of Indecision'(4:30-8:30).....

Monday: Gilligan Loves Mary Ann
Tuesday: Gene Mitchell
Wednesday: Gene Mitchell
Thursday: Chuck Lawson
Friday: Lenny Jennings
Saturdays: Lenny Jennings
Sunday: Tim Smith

There are two other bands that play during the week at 10:00 pm. Haven't got those yet.

Since I had such a great time I personally will forgive this time. HA HA!!! I was looking forward to seeing those pics too. Maybe soon we will see them.

Got back from PCB last week and had a great time. The weather was fantastic and we had a good time at Pier Park. It was fun people watching in the evening. Of course, Margaritaville was a good time too. My only complaint is they must have some trouble with their air conditioning system. The 3 times we were there it just wasn't cool inside and it was a little uncomfortable eating. I am no wimp to the heat so..........
PCBfan, I forgot your phone number at home. Things were a little crazy getting ready etc. I wish we could have gotten together. Thanks for all your info. We went to the free concert on Thurs. and saw Bonerama. They were really good and had quite a following. I could see Jimmy playing in the park. Of course I would have front row seats.

We will be back soon!!

Hey, sorry to have missed you too!!! But I understand how it is when your on vacation.
We usually sit outside at M'ville but the last time we sat inside we about froze! So I guess ya never know.
We really enjoy the free concerts too, matter of fact we are going tonight. This time of year it can get really crowded, but its nice to just sit back under the stars and listen to good music

Maybe we can get together next time.
