Finally I can tell y'all what we've been cooking up for a big winter surprise. Webb and The Beatnecks will be CRUISIN' on the fabulous Cayamo Cruise Feb. 28 - March 7th 2009!!!

http://www.cayamo.com/lineup.php . WOW - Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Marc Brousard, Sean Colvin, Joe Ely, Buddy Miller, so many more. And 3 full band performances by Webb!!

The boat sails out of Miami and goes to the Virgin Islands, (US and British) and to some other gorgeous specs of sand out there.

This isn't just to brag on where they're going, it's to invite y'all too! Operators are standing by for you intrepid travelers who might just hear that siren's call. Yeeeeha! (well, your siren might sound a bit different than that)

My Siren is at work right now earning money to help pay for such a cruise!

OMG. A dream come true. I just emailed Red and told what our 20th anniversary present is going to be.

This is truly exciting news! and my boss is aware that I'm giving it serious thought....

Ok. Did anyone get through all of the gobbledegook and find out the answer to a very important question? Like How Much?

I did see that they'll actually BE playing Pooside

yeah, I know

Tony and I won't be able to make the cruise. One reason: Pirates!

It is not cheap but look at all the music opportunities on Board. And, unless the Pirates are music Pirates, we've got nothing to worry about.

WOW that would be cool to do .... but with 2 youngins in school - kind of hard to get away ... I always thought Webb should be on one of Delbert Mclinton's cruises.... or better yet... we should plan our own WW Cruise someday.

I also noticed if you flip around the website - out of the artist section you can go to On Tour and it has the artists tour dates listed....except none for Webb. Maybe Nancy can get that fixed.

By the way - I like the new PREVIEW section added to the posts --- keeps Susan from making all those mistakes.

Finally we can edit.....

Well, it's not *exactly* full editing. You can't go back and change your old posts. But at least you'll be able to see obvious problems before you commit to your post. I think it'll work fine for most people's purposes.

Any idea what cruise line that is? Too bad Brenda and I had pretty much used up our cruise money last March. We did visit a couple of the places this cruise is going to.

Ah, after a little more digging, I found the ship: it's the Norwegian Dawn. We sailed on the Norwegian Jewel on a 9 day cruise, which was about 3 or 4 days too long.

As much as I would love to go, I don't see it in the stars, the cards, or the budget.

To the ones that are fortunate to go: PLEASE take lots of pictures and notes for the rest of us who aren't that fortunate - and share them, of course.

I shall be thinking of you all that got to go while it's going on while I am curled up...in the corner.....whimpering...... ;-)

This is wonderful news, although there's no way we'll be able to go. I just want all the Hiatt, Lovett etc fans to hear how great Webb is!
More excellent work by Nancy.

I agree with TommyLee! Great experience for Webb & the Beatnecks . Congrats' to Nancy on working that out!
While I will put the cruise on the "If I win the lottery" list, I will be attending WebbFest III and be at Knucklehead's in December. Like Jo, I will look forward to hearing about the cruise from those lucky enough to attend & TAKE PHOTOS.

Starting at a $999? Way out of my price range. Webbfest is going to be my big expense this year.

Damn! I spent money on the St. Arnold Brewing Cruise last February and blew off all my buddies in Wales in January for it. I won't be able to sail either. While we didn't have much fun musically, the beverages were great!
