Anyone else get the vibe that he may be doing some things on his own in the not to distant future as a change of pace? :-/

Alright smart ass! Sorry, I know. I'm hoping for some kind of relief soon too!  There's just way too much silence these days.... :(

QuoteAlright smart ass! Sorry, I know. I'm hoping for some kind of relief soon too!  There's just way too much silence these days.... :(

Man, I got my hopes up, too!  I don't think BH is being a smart ass (although...he can be, I guess)  I think his point is that the thread title is mis-leading in that it suggest there is Jim solo stuff happening, whereas a questions mark clearly would have denoted that there was a question coming...not a statement.  

No big deal, though.  It's just hard to determine what exactly what is being said through text, so extra care, in my opinion should be used.

Anyway...welcome to the Forum, armadison.  I hope you are right.  Jim's solo gig at the Rudyard Kipling 06.03.2007 was the most emotional and vivid concert experience of my life.  Surely he's got something coming up soon.  I'm sure he's still trying to get back to 100% too, though.

PEACE.

Geez guys.  Sorry for the hasty typing. It was mere oversight, I swear.  That's all I'm gonna say about that.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.  Have only seen them once, at MSG on NYE, so I'm late coming to the table, but I know a solo gig would be outstanding!

I think this has already been announced...its a album with M ward hopefully....but it seems a little far away.  A few solo gigs would be great though.

I disagree 100%! I think it's the duty of the thread poster to accurately identify the contents of a thread in the subject line in order to avoid luring someone into a thread that they would not intentionally participate in. If adequate info had been given in the subject line then many people would not have wasted valuable seconds of their lives viewing a pontification about a JJ solo tour.

It's a little bigger issue than simply . ! ?

Possible...the lineup's supposed to come out today, so we shall see!

He would be a pretty big name for them to book, though.  I'd bet on a non-fest show...maybe a show at Schubas to make up for the canceled Obama benefit last fall?  (fingers crossed!)

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, youre nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said far out, - what a day, a year, a laugh it is!
You know, - well you know you had it comin to you,
Now theres not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said far out, - what a day, a year, a laugh it is!
You know, - well you know you had it comin to you,
Now theres not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, youre nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
Oh no!
