Would be cool to hear Sista Jane but I am guessing they'll stick to set lists from the UK shows? idk
no expectations but also want to hear the Crow...never did notice any youtube recordings of it from those shows.

Safe Travels to everyone heading to FLA ... and Bon Voyage as you set sail tomorrow on the Norwegian Jane ... oops ... I meant Jade.

Best wishes for great weather ... to go along with the great music.


(Maybe pack some earplugs ... not for the humming BCC backline ... but for the ecstatic audience members in attendance.)

Re: Keeping the Blues alive cruise 4

The words I have in my mind after watching Cruise IV videos: calm, very self confident, mature, responsible, outstanding professional, successful #everythingtheywantedhimtobecome

Re: Keeping the Blues alive cruise 4

So glad you had a great time, Jane! Too bad about the plane ride home. Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon and can put that part of the trip behind you. ROCK ON!

LIVE MUSIC IS BEST

Re: Keeping the Blues alive cruise 4

Best cruise yet...hands down...even with Glenn Hughes forcing me to cover my ears to avoid certain deafness during the last song...don't think Joe will be doing any more BCC deals in the future (just my opinion)...he didn't look like he was having much fun during their set and Glenn went WAY over the top trying to reassure everyone how he loves Joe and there was never any friction between them.....don't think Joe needs him as much as he needs Joe...

Re: Keeping the Blues alive cruise 4

Not bad for a brief summary Jane. big_smile

Come on the Blades (sorry Idolbone just had to borrow your line)

Re: Keeping the Blues alive cruise 4

Thanks for the spiel Jane. We’ll never go on one so it's cool to hear of the cruise and fun had by many. I’ve seen some carping online about aspects and behavior that were less than optimal for some fans, but all agreed the music was great.
Any that want to go on the next one should get in early since priority booking of rooms is already in place.

Well I had an absolute blast!
i'll prob write more later but just q brief summary....
had great time with great friends....
got to spend some quality time with Joe's Dad who has been a fan of me from way back wink
He couldnt have been nicer to me...in the process i finally got to meet Kevin Shirley and few other folks...just briefly but a special treat indeed
finally meeting Jim m. in person !!! after 15 years of being friends from here...was awesome!
Meeting my great friend Lizzee in person for first time!!! ♥ people who know me fairly well just never talked in person and enjoy shows with.
also having more time to hang with cindyron than other shows
and of course a large group of old and new Bonabuddies - and met Grahm, Kenny (forum) good friend. that was cool
many others but my mind is a blur

i'd been worried about motion sickness but i took the Bonine pill each morning and was ok
some of the venues inside I started to feel queasy but never bad. this is coming from someone who gets sick just thinking about getting sick....

the food was good...a large buffet with something for anyone...drinks were good....the steak restaurant was good

my biggest regret was not getting more shows in...all the experienced cruiser friends had warned me....but I just didnt see enough...but was more than satisfied....
only got of ship to go to tourist shopping right there because welll i got up late etc. if i ever do again, maybe rethink that...i was more than satisfied on the boat but hate to miss a beach....but didnt want to miss boat leaving! we were only in Jamaica for like 7 hours or something...

BCC was great and of course epic. now i did forget my earplugs in the room, my fault, thanksfully Maggie had some tissues i used to help....I was right up front but it was ...way too loud.
no other show that loud...uneccesary too loud IMHO and this happened at the BCC show i saw in 2011? i think....but it wasnt going to ruin my show
such a pleasure to have been able to witness the show...
I also went to a q&a thing the band did with Kevin Shirley too...first audience question was about more touring....there wasn't any distinct answer from what i recall but its a not likely thing I imagine.
So the first night was pretty epic

the second night was the Joe trio shows....too cool. I really enjoy Michael more up front....then and with the full band. I still LOL everytime i hear "a bass player is supposed to...." haha I do recall hearing him saying that in an interview. So glad he is allowed to 'get into it' more and also enjoys it...hard to describe what I mean by that but i like it better than the keep the bass in the back and just to a beat sort of thing. forgive me i dont know the industry bs terms for this.
so, a treat to get the different set and power trio...not sure why called cradle rock...maybe cause they called it a 'new band'? but i kept expecting to hear Cradle Rock smile
that show the ship was split into two groups as all wouldnt fit in theater at once. They played the same set both shows

then next night was Joe's show...whole ship on the pool deck pretty much....i didnt want to wait long time for front seat but managed to see from the rail above and behind the stage. A different perspective but cool and pretty close and could see my friends up front of the stage. the four new songs were great , can't wait for the album...I guess he'll probably be playing these moving forward, i don't know but Joe played 4 shows in 3 days.....

i didnt catch many full shows but first time seeing Josh Smith and Kirk Fletcher live was great...LOVED the band....
had prob the most fun at the one Jj Grey Mofro show...just joyous!
Marcus King...right up front... big_smile !!!
I'm crazy about Danielle Nicole althought didnt catch a whole show but did see her with the north Mississippi All Stars, my first time seeing them...and Steepwater...
there is 3 or 4 shows going on at same time the whole time so its hard to fit in ...oh and only caught Matt Anderson's acoustic set but it was great....

a scary plane ride home Friday and i am still not recovered yet but i had WAY more fun than I thought i could but it was $$$

i'll add more as i think of it

Great to hang also great to have you join us for dinner
Cheers Ron
