I don't get there enough just because it's a little too far inland for me, but Skipper's is one of the better venues to see some pretty great musicians.

I'll send you a couple of mini corn dogs and maybe a t-shirt.

Thanks, I'll keep checking the mailbox

And if anyone else is interested in seeing Bankie (someone please let Larry know if you talk to him) I will PM him as well.

The tour dates are listed here, nothing up here in MA http://www.myspace.com/bankiebanx

Would LOVE to see Bankie again!!! Heading off to Chicago though!
Hope you have a great time!

Bankie rocked the house at BB King's tonight. And he didn't tell anyone to "shut the ***** up" this time. Management from the club must have talked to him before the show though. He didn't light one up onstage like he did last year.

Never really listened to Bankie except on the Live from Anguilla CD-is he worth checking out

if you like reggae at all, you will like Bankie a lot.
He puts on a good show.

Yes.

Unfortunately he cancelled the Tampa show this year, but if you want to hear him from last years show, check out

He has it online. You will need to register to listen, and there are a lot of other good live shows available to listen to as well. Frinzi, Kirby, Sunny Jim...lots of good stuff.

How is his voice live? He did not sound so good on "Live In Anguilla's "Stuck in Paradise" especially when compared to his studio version.
Of course that's the only song I've heard from him.

Michael, Michael, Michael, had you come to Tampa last year...you'd have found out first hand.

His voice is pretty much the same...I just wish I could puff a couple blunts and perform the way he does.

After preparing for that Anguilla concert for so long, Bankie was having a lot of fun at the concert.
I think this might account for his voice on the live version!

Anybody going to the show in Cornelius tonight? We might go tonight - definitely going tomorrow night! Can't wait!!

I will be there if anyone wants to say hello, white shirt, with a pirate on it...
