Hartamophone Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Do you think Willie's carpal tunnel is related to guitar-playing or rolling? A little from Column A, and a little from Column B. He does, after all, remember when dime bags cost a dime (according to his cameo in the high art film "Half Baked").

ollie Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Bump.Tickets for the Ottawa show go on sale today, Friday, Dec. 2, at noon.Aloha,BradI got 4 seats in the lower bowl, just slightly off centre.My first attempt at the floor didn't give me good seats, by the time I made a second attempt the floor had sold out! Wow! Guess everyone got the good seats in the pre-sale.This one just might sellout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I got two on the floor, off to the left side as you face the stage, I think; I got the same two seats on two tries, so gave in and took them.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'm counting on the TO show not selling out. If it does - oh well; decision made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 How about you come to Ottawa, StoneMtn?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic ChrisC Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 How come some of you got such good tickets? I wanted floor too! Ah well...I figure most seats are good there...small venue.I bought tickets for my parents also. My dad is a big Willie Nelson fan. He's had a tape of Willie in his car pretty much since I can remember...back to the days of our 1973 orange VW van. I grew up listening to him. It'll be funny to be at a show and know that my parents are there too. They're very straight though, so the smell of pot might make them high.

bradm Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 My Dad was a big fan of Willie and I grew up listening to his music, along with Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, etc. My Dad died in March, 2002, and when I saw Willie (with moe. and The Dead) at Vernon Downs in June, 2003, and he did "I'll Fly Away" and "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" (not to mention "Good Hearted Woman In Love With A Good Timing Man", which somehow I associate with my Mom and Dad), well, I just about broke down. I plan on enjoying this show to the fullest extent I can, come hullaballo or salty tears.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I probably need to be in Toronto in May anyway, and there's another show I want to see there a week after Willie. But... I have been a bit remiss visiting Ottawa (having been there twice in about a decade, and only once overnight) so maybe I'll try to organize the trip to start in Ottawa. I'll keep the option in mind; promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The principle of offer-and-acceptance precludes a "contract to make a contract".If I bail, I'm in the clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Nelson, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and many French folk tunes. That's how moving music is. It reminds us of people, places and defining moments in our lives.

Dr. J Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 That's how moving music is. It reminds us of people, places and defining moments in our lives.This is a bit of a reverse Willie story.We have a son who is a huge Willie Nelson fan. He's also a musician who spends a lot of his life on the road. I can remember when his mother and I first went to see him play (with some concern about the life he had chosen). It was in a bar in Kingston and at one point in the night he said "I'd like to dedicate this one to my parents" and launched into Willie's "Everywhere I Go." Well, you talk about a couple of basket cases.I'll take you with me everywhere I go,I'll put you in my pocket, who will know?Right next to my heart at every showI'll take you with me evrywhere I go.I told him if he was gonna play rock 'n' roll, he'd better get over that wimpy shit hehehe....Just kidding. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Tell your son that his band should do an after-party after the Willie show in Peterborough (and/or Ottawa). Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
