The Biltmore meet-up is always The King of the Hill! See details above! As you come into the main doors of the Inn, bear right and look for the giant fireplace. Turn right, go past the bar and proceed outside. That easy! Don’t get Lost in the Snow! It takes 10-15 minutes to get to the Inn from the main gate of Biltmore. Ask the guard for directions to the Inn. They will be more than glad to help you! This Biltmore, Biltmore Farms and Forest are huge! Free parking on the left before valet parking.
Still havin’ a ball!

Biltmore, NCThe meet-up will be at the Biltmore Inn as usual! It will start at 4:30 PM on the Veranda of the Library Lounge. If you are staying outside the Biltmore, your concert ticket includes free gate pass at 4:30 PM. There is free parking at the Inn about a block from the Inn on the left. There is also valet parking as well at the Inn. Gates open for the show at 6:15 PM, but the show doesn’t start till 8:00 PM and it is my understanding, Blues Traveler opens. This is a beautiful spot for a meet-up! Those of you that have been here before know the spot!
Hey Guys!
The Inn will not allow me to have a meet-up this time due to too many events there that day. Instead, it will be at TGIF Friday’s right near the main gate at 5:00. Everyone copy?

Lake Lanier, GAIt is my fiduciary duty to crank up the crowd! The ‘natives’ have been very restless! Road Scholars cranked you engines! The Show Goes On!!!
Meet-up anyone? I know a great spot! Gates open at 6:30, meet-up at 5:00? Just let me know!

LL, GAI was there! You have a ‘witness’! It was not ‘sound check’ at all! A $100 gift card for a correct answer to the venue!
Talk of the Town
DDWay back when, long time ago….
I’ve shared this before, but for the ‘new comers’, will share this again!…..
Drove to the Tivoli show in Chattanooga. Check into my hotel, came down to have a pint before the show. There was Bruce and Noise in the lobby! I politely took a seat in the lobby listening to their conversation. As they were all looking at me, I made the decision to go ‘powder my nose’.
As I was taking care of ‘business’, ‘powdering my nose’, there was Bruce next to me! As a gentleman, I went to wash my hands and so did Bruce. We ended up having a ‘camp meeting’ in the men’s room!
I guess the moral of the story is…..We were smokin’ in the boys room!

DDNow wait just a dad gum second! 😆 I’ve plugged Si many times on FB as ‘the best web designer on the globe’! You should as well! In fact, http://www.savethechestatee.com has gone so well, Si and I will have another website up soon for a fraternity cause!
The moral of the story is……Always remember your friends and their business! Always a win-win! That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!

I know some good bands have played there, but I can’t bring myself to fork over VIP money without a weather report or covered seats! Also you might tell folks there’s almost nowhere to stay in Black Mountain if they are a designated drinker. I hope standing room is not a sell out if I decide to go at the last minute, but I tested my luck last year in the trans-Coloradan disaster dodge. I’m sure it will be historic wherever the smoke follows you.Very funny! 😆 Agreed! Very nice thought! 😎

Hey Guys! Peace!!! Not to get ‘your panties in a wad’! I do agree with all of you! I’m disappointed as well!
Bobby, Doug and Noise, as we know them, will be greatly missed! I can’t fathom a fiddle player playing Tango King, Candy Mountain nor Resting Place, but you never know!
Just give this a chance! I’m sure there will be a ‘reunion tour’ at some point! But, in the meantime enjoy! You guys should know this by now! You never know what’s next!!!….
DD
LL, GAFinally! An ‘official announcement’ of some sorts! So glad to see ‘kudos’ to Bobby and Doug! What a great loss!
On one hand, I remember when Bruce added Bobby and John D’earth. My thoughts were one of ‘what the hell happened to me’! Then, when John left, my thoughts were one of ‘maybe one day we’ll meet across the great divide’! But, to my surprise and chagrin, the Noise seemed to flourish and even become better!
On another hand, Bobby, throughout the many years, had become a ‘mainstay’, a friend, a great musician, gentleman and someone I always look forward to seeing to this day! We will miss Bobby greatly!!!
A wise man once said, ‘It takes change to make progress.’ And, there is ‘gonna be some changes made’! But, ‘business decisions’ must be made to make it so!
I say all that to say…..The Range, The Dead, Garcia, Waters, Pat, Bonnie, Bradford, JV, JT, Bobby, Sonny, Mo and others! It all has been most excellent!!! What awaits us next???
I dunno! But, it’s either ‘the road not taken’ or ‘the valley road’! What ever road you may choose, I’m very sure it will be ‘pastures of plenty’!
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!
After all the ‘miles of aisles’, I’m still havin’ a ball! I hope you will as well!

If you listen very carefully to “Valley Road” during the July 5,2013,Eugene,OR,show you’ll hear a very nice (short) Bobby solo.There’s so very many! What about The Great Divide off Here Comes the NMs! ‘Bobby Read…..on the saxophone’!
DD
LL, GAAlso off of ‘Bride’!
‘I buy and buy so high in the sky, so high in the sky. Go, go, go, go Bobby Read!’
Four ‘goes’!

LLN, GAAnd you always go your way,
And I always go mine.
Maybe one day we’ll come together…..One last request to consider! I’ve always thought this had a neat beat to it as well!
‘Hey, wait a minute, What’s that you said’….
DD
LLN, GAVery well done!
Great talent there! Very nice drum set!!! From my understanding, Cruise Control was Jerry Garcia’s last song recorded? And with Bruce!What’s next on you agenda???
LLN
DDHappy New Year to all! What great choices for the new inductees!
An ‘initiation’ is comprised of the old inductees putting the new inductees thru…..Call it a “camp meeting” if you would!
Bobby has always expressed an interest in my “rasta”! What Bobby doesn’t know is, I have a matching “rasta” with his name on it! So, the first call to order is Bobby in “rasta”! Get the picture? Still havin’ a ball!
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAWhat great choices for ‘2013!!! Very honored to have Bobby and Doug! Very much deserved, but do they know who the ‘initiation chairperson’ is? 😆
Congrats to both!!! At the end of the day, when the sun is setting and the cows are coming home, there is no place that I would rather be!Still havin’ a ball!
