I have known Jimmy for many years (that is...in my mind ...after so many concerts and songs learned, growing up in So.Florida), and it does not at all surprise me that he has taken to your charity work. He is an inspiration and a captain to us all. I wish you and your patrons good luck, you should be in for a life changing experince. I personally just moved to Hong Kong from Atlanta, GA USA, on Dec 31st. ATL is one of a few parrothead headquarters, which for many years has housed the multi-day feasts we call buffet parties (concerts), where parrotheads from all around come to gather and make a huge paved parking lot into a mix of a beach/ resort/carnival, and for just a few moments forget about the issues of the world a bask in the warmth of the key west sun (rain or shine). Soooo many warm memories this brings to me.... most I can't really recall to say the truth... but I know I was there (atleast pictures seem to prove it)! Unfortunatley, for me an my wife, hearing of Jimmy coming to Hong Kong, just a couple of days ago (of course being new here we did not know anything), was an unbelievable combination of ecstatic euphoria, the one that reassured us that our move to HK had been the right choice; and then seconds later filled our hearts with a dreadful sadness, after finding out it was sold out (how crule life can be I thought- I thought it was meant to be-what a tease). Now, after a short bout of unconsolable depression, I am back at work and as any true parrothead would do, I plan to get stinking drunk on Friday. And as I sip on a beer, do shots of tequila, and sit over a BBQ and prepare the most succulent of dinners (a juicy cheeseburger), with my beautiful wife and listen to our old records/CD/itunes (yeah, I have records...), we will sit and with a slight grin, solemnly rekindle the Floridays in our minds... atleast the ones we can remember. Best of Luck to all you Hong Kong Parrotheads!... anda great big welcome, to those of you who will be baptised anew on Friday! As a great poet once wrote: ...some of it's magic, some of it's tragic But I had a good life all the way .... I guess I have had my share of good Best Wishes from Mark And Dawn PS: Jimmy if you are availble feel free to call I will be glad to buy you a beer and just shoot the $%@*, if just for a while! Call us anytime 6074-3515. Dear Thomas Crampton,

And they'll love him. This is a great thing Jimmy is doing. They can say what they want to about him being all about money, but the man has a heart bigger than himself. AND he has 30-plus EXCELLENT albums out too. WAY TO GO, JIMMY! YOU'RE THE BEST WITHOUT EXCEPTION!!!

Jimmy has been doing a number of charitable shows lately and has been doing smaller shows in places unaccustomed to hearing him (Paris and Anguilla for instance). It's a good trend, and while it leaves some of the entrenched fanbase (what we jokingly refer to as the GOP's or Grumpy Old Parrotheads who have never evolved past the albums that Jimmy did when he was in his 20's) behind these shows also provide an opportunity for folks to see Jimmy who otherwise wouldn't be able to. That, and the shows outside the USA take us back to a day when Jimmy sang about travel, adventure, and a little mischief. All a good thing in my book. Excellent!
