Biltmore Show!

Hey lady,
There’s no need to fear!!! MVF is here!! 😆
Talked with your hubby and I think we have it ALL taken care of. I should be cruising into Asheville in time to meet your bus at 8:30 am Saturday. And, if you don’t mind HoJo’s, then you can share a room with me. And I should be able to get you back to the bus station on Sunday.

Hey, babe, that’s what friends (and SiBs) are for!!!

MVF

babytweety,

So glad to hear you’re going to be able to see Bruce this time around after all. You were the first one I thought of when I heard Memphis got cancelled.

The weather report has changed yet again and it looks like the rain will stay away.

The countdown to Biltmo’ is ON!

Mary,

Your efforts are appreciated! Keep on dancin’, we need clear skies for Atlanta and Biltmo’!

molo3

Actually, I won’t be at the Atlanta show. Sorry to disappoint. 😆

I was just thinking good thoughts for those of you who will be at the Atlanta show. Plus, I don’t want the rain to do any damage to your bells and whistles! 😯

Thanks for arranging all of this, Mr. Day! You are a true “Road Scholar”!

Mrs. molo3 and I will be a little late to the soiree. I promised her we would check out the wine and chocolate (class/demonstration??) at the Winery. So, we should be there by 3:30 at the latest, grinning ridiculously.

David..make sure you add me. I know MVF was supposed to tell you to add me, but I want to make sure to tell you myself. I’ll be coming with her. So nice to have one of my sister’s in Bruce watching out for me.

Monica

Monica,

You’re in good hands with MVF as a “concert buddy.” Lots of fun is in store! And if you’re overcome with a bout of shyness when it’s time to dance,she’ll help you out there, too.

Of course,David is the king (or should I say Czar?) of meet-up hosts. You will definitely have a good time at the Inn.

Enjoy Asheville!

Jackie

MVF,

We appreciate your sacrifice! Besides, we wouldn’t want you to be left out of the group photo on the Veranda! At past Biltmo’ shows, did Bruce honor his tradition of inviting gals on stage to dance? Mrs. molo3 is looking forward to that opportunity. Her only other Bruce show was a solo show, so obviously no stage dancing occurred.

Bad news for Mrs. Molo. Once you see the set-up of the stage, you’ll understand why they can’t let us dance on stage. At the first one, some chick managed to climb over the amps and get on stage, but security managed to wrestle her down.

I’d like to make an addition to THE SCHEDULE, David—

9:00 am – 12:00 or 1:00 — Excursion to “the shops”. Meet at 9:00 at THE McDonald’s at the Biltmore Villiage. ( if you are interested in going, let MVF know ASAP).

Made into Asheville about 2 hours ago. Weather today is picture perfect with more of the same expected for tomorrow! Sending out good thoughts for our friends heading to the show in Atlanta tonight!

Heading out soon for a “night on the town” with Mrs. molo3. That first beer is calling my name!

Alrighty, then…
Biltmore was a decidedly ….ummm…errr, different show. Bruce and the boys were in rare form, and they have never sounded so good. I understand that it had been awhile since they had played together — it was either Doug or J.V. who said that the band was a bit “rusty” (keep in mind that it was very late, I’m getting pretty old, and they were serving pina coladas and strawberry daquiries {sp?}), but I know it was one or the other of them. ANYWAY….. I don’t know what Bobby Read has been up to, but I saw him smile and joke around last night more than last the ten concerts put together, while J.T. was uncharacteristicly subdued (look it up, David). Bruce and the band played a few songs in R.S.’s honor {can’t you just see him and Jerry Garcia playing t0ogether??}

It was great to see so many of our SiBs and BiBs. Was the first time I was able to put faces to all these names I keep typing.

Let’s see, I need to tie up a few loose ends….

David – do I owe you for the glass of wine on the veranda? And why were you spo late getting tpo thew concert?? 😮

Molomolomolo – Enjoyed meeting you and Mrs. Molo. I hope that it is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship (who said that?)

Kerry and Mary – I will admit right now that I can’t remember who was who –never give me two similar sounding names at one time!

Gerald and Jonathan – Sorry Bruce didn’t play “Fortunate Son”. Just know that every time I hear that song, I think of you. And Jonathan- we’re gonna have to put a brick on your head to keep you from growing so much. Send me a PM with your address – I have something for Jonathan

Monica, sweet Monica– First—the key WAS in the car, it was hidden under the bears in the back seat. I hope that you will believe me when I say “…you would not understand, this is not how I am…” Honest, this past weekend was like a nightmare from h*ll. I’m still picking gravel out of my teeth after that little “trip” 😆 Thank you for getting us backstage…you were very sweet to include me. I will send you your sweater. Please send me some pics.
