    Mike!
    Now i am really surprised!! Here i thought i was learning from a professional!!! LOL How is Verna doing? she is still on my messenger and i see her pop on and offline, but i haven't written. It's been so long, i am not sure if she even remembers me (unless she says ohh yea the goofy one that couldn't figure out the slot machine LOL)

    Ahhh Vegas will be able to handle us i am sure of it. I love that place. I dont' spend too much time in the casinos (as you can tell from statement above) but i love just walking around at night looking at all the lights. I am like a raccoon, i am attracted to shiny objects

    Hopefully more dates will be announced soon, but from what Don said, they may take a break after they return. I know it's coming to an end but I have a feeling they will drag it out as long as they can. As far as Joe didn't he mention that The James Gang and him were going to put another album out? I can't remember if he told us that at a M&G or if i read it somewhere. Ask Rob maybe it was at the Chicago M&G. I have only seen the JG once and that was in Atlanta. Joe is just awesome hands down. I also heard that Marjorie rocks out at the shows so i can't imagine her asking him to quit the road for a while.

    I was at that M&G (2004?) in Chitown. I remember Joe saying that James Gang was getting together again "soon" at the time. I also remember him saying he had more than enough "in the can" for a new Rock n Roll solo recording. I WANT to remember him saying something about the James Gang recording again, but in honesty, I can't remember him actually saying that.

    Now, that's not to say it wasn't stated Kelle. Very possible that he could have mentioned it when he, Dale and Jimmy did that Video Chat.

    As for the Casinos...I'm a pretty quick study. After that concert at MGM Grand, I came back home and really started studying two "games": Blackjack and Video Poker. Besides Craps, those are the ONLY two games in the house where the player has an almost even or even a positive advantage in odds of winning if played perfectly and if the player is selective about which machine or table to play on. The next time and virtually every time since, I've won or broken even and THAT is cheap entertainment when you consider the perks a player in Vegas gets (free Hotels, free rooms, free or next to free meals!)

    We've been out there twice this year already and are planning another if the work schedules cooperate.

    Australia: That's a trip I have to keep in my dreams. I'd LOVE to go there but there is no way I could endure the flight!

    I just remembered that I forgot to mention that Don did do a meet and greet at the this show. While Christie was talking to the lady that got us the guitar picks, she was trying to see if she could get us backstage (I knew it was a long shot but it was worth a try). Christie said the lady told her that Don already did a meet and greet before the show started and wouldn't be doing any afterwards. How do people get into these meet and greets? I figured, for this particular concert, the casino gave away the m&g's along with the concert tickets that we heard them advertising when we got there.

    i would say the M&G was just for the high rollers due to the fact that the 1st 2 rows were reserved for them as well as promoters and friends of the band. At least that is what i was told when i talked to the box office. Could be contest winners from local radio stations as well????

    forgot to mention how people get into M&G's. I am a member of Joe's fan club so that is how i have met him. ILAA did M&G's for Don in the past. I signed up for one in Hilton Head, but he cancelled due to the weather

    I would love to meet Don, but at the time, i was really hoping to run into Scott backstage instead!!! I finally got my chance at the Borgata though and loved every minute of it!!!
