DO have a Buffett Throwaway Guitar I wish I could get him to sign...but..maybe Next Concert.
Good Luck amongst Alla Them Parrotheads, Amigo! What an EVENT!!! Best Wishes & a Big Jealous Guy-Hug, Stan

Thanks all...... Magne, We will take our own drums, keyboard, guitars and amps and they will be miked into the huge PA. Most of the songs will be originals. Steve Tolliver, the founder of the band, wrote most of the songs. There will be a couple by Jayne Kelli who is joining us for this show, one by Greg Sabol our bass player, and a couple by me (Cappuccino in the Morning and Back to You). We will do a couple of familiar covers - maybe Running Down a Dream and Brown Eyed Girl. Steve, Jayne and I all have Reverbnation pages with our songs on them - you can get there from here if interested. Jayne's Steve's Colin's

Awesome! Congrats Colin. If you see Amy Lee his Sax player (A former JPF Award nominee) or his guitarist Peter Mayer (a multiple JPF Award Winner and in my opinion 10 times more talented than Jimmy) that Brian Whitney from Just Plain Folks says hi! = )

Thanks.....pretty exciting stuff. We have to rehearse tomorrow night. Jayne Kelli is going to sing backup with us and do a couple of her songs. Also Tim Poole is going to add some harmonies and harmonica.

Everett,
Not at the moment. We are well rehearsed and ready to go. The band members are pretty much pros. I get nervous when things don't go as planned - equipment problems, bad monitor mix, etc. Otherwise should be fine.

We will have recordings at some time - the show was recorded directly from the board. Not sure if any videos will surface - I was too busy to notice.
