frustration!!!!!

So, my first ever Jimmy buffett concert was in November 2009, I won the tickets from Newsday -- floor seats at Madison Square Garden.  Concert happened just as we were planning our Caribbean cruise, and the timing couldn't be better. 

When we took the cruise in February, we walked past Margaritaville in the Cayman Islands, but didn't have time to go inside.  And the Margaritaville in cozumel was too far out of our way....but we did go to the one in Niagara Falls in July.

We saw Jimmy at Jones Beach last August.  That time we sat in nosebleed territory.  I bought the tickets on Stub Hub because I wasn't able to get them directly from Live Nation....

What happened  -- Jimmy announced his summer tour dates while we were on the cruise.  We came home from the cruise on a Sunday, and I didn't read the Sunday papers until Monday afternoon --- and the Sunday paper had an ad annoucing that the tickets would go on sale Monday morning.

So this year, I've been scanning Margaritaville.com virtually every day, waiting for the Welcome to Fin Land tour dates to be announced.  There are a few dates posted for April and May, plus a Paris, France concert listed for September, but the bulk of the summer tour has NOT been annouced!    Sooooo frustrating!

I'm hoping he does another Jones Beach concert, and I'm hoping it does not conflict with our Disney vacation.

Sigh.  At least I can visit Margaritaville at Citiwalk....

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
