"HURRICANE" Gordon

THE BEAUTIFUL KEY WEST HYATT RESORT WAS THE PLACE TO BE!

We had more fun putting on this show than you generally can with all your clothes on!

The Casa Marina was the headquarters for the PHIP sponsored MOTM as usual, and we should thank Alex Leist for putting together a super week for us all. BARMUSIC.COM puts on a smaller venue series of shows the same week to give an alternative for some musicians to be heard that otherwise could not find a place to play the week of MOTM. MOTM is a place for musicians, and all musicians want to be heard, but there is only room and time for a few on the main stage, so we try and provide a cool side attraction closer to Duval Street and the main part of Key West.
... And by the way, we need to thank some people who work in the background to support PARROT HEAD MUSICIANS and TROP ROCK: Billy Peoples & Bob Heffelfinger are 2 names that come to mind! These guys support us all, year after year! THANKS!!!

We really had a great time at the Hyatt! I would like to take this time to thank the employees of the Hyatt who helped us put this show together - Raphael and Tanya and Jenn and Ava!!!
I also want to thank all of the performers who played their hearts out on stage for us all week long! SPECIAL THANKS TO:
JERRY GONTANG, HUGO DUARTE, JOE BENNETT, JIM HOEHN, SONNY RUSSELL, JERRY DIAZ, RICK STEFFEN, DAVE CALHOUN!!
As luck would have it, it poured down rain the day JOE BENNETT was scheduled to play with us. Joe played anyway and we had a gazebo concert and the folks in the hot tub were so wasted, the rain did not matter anyway. You can catch Joe regularly at the MARGARITAVILLE CAFE in NEW ORLEANS at least 4 days a week. Joe can also be heard on Radio Margaritaville live from time to time. Go buy Joe's CD's at his web site!

Hugo, I want to thank you for all the years of making my weekends special down at the Hog's Breath Saloon. Even though we were buried back in the crowd somewhere, we have loved your "Hillbilly Beach" style for years! We also want to thank Emily Hutchison for getting Hugo to play for us. Girl, you have quite a voice, and you can sing for me anytime, anywhere! Yeh baby! "ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE"

Jim Hoehn, you are one crazy piece of cheese!! What can I say????? I hum your song "He's away from his desk" all day long at work. Jim is a national sports writer by day, and an entertainer by night and weekend.

Jerry Diaz, thanks for sharing some of your fun Texas style with us! You added some fun and great songs to our show. Jerry plays with HANNAH'S REEF and has some brand new songs out that he has written.

THANKS FOREVER AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
