Zan, since I'm not the greatest in geography, obviously - LOL Is this PBS station and Radio station in your area?

Dennis wil be live in-studio WPBT PBS-TV2 THUR AUG 4 at 8PM - Pledge Special

Also live in-studio GATER 98.7 FRI AUG 5 4:15PM - Classic Rock Radio

Just thought to let the Florida people know :)

For those who do not live in Florida, it looks like you can stream the radio live from your computer :)

I'm not Zan, but from what I gather, she's at the opposite end of the state.

Thanks for the heads up.

I need to look at a Florida map!!! I have relatives in Panama City (been there), I've been down to Tampa for Packer games and I've been to Daytona Beach for Spring Break - LOL

Maybe there are other Floridians on here :)

I get the gator where I am. I'm in Southeast Florida between Miami and Palm Beach. Where's the show broadcast from?

Jacksonville....hence my earlier thought that you wouldn't get it. Sorry.

Aha! Well then yes, I am on the other end, so to speak. This is for Suite...see it, study it, learn it, commit it to memory ;-):

Panama City is between Tallahassee and Mobile, but further on the Mbile side. I am between Ft. lauderdale and Miami. Dennis is playing in Jacksonville. Theme parks are in Orlando. :)

Jacksonville's about the same distance from Tallahasse as Panama City (except in the opposite direction).

I may try to fumble with the radio dials that day; but I don't think we get any Jax stations here in Tally.

Thanx for the heads-up Suite!

GATER 98.7 is West Palm Beach, not Jacksonville. But Dennis will be performing with the Jacksonville Symphony next month and was in town several weeks ago to promote his upcoming appearance via an interview on WJCT (the local PBS station). I recorded the interview but didn't bother to keep it since it focused primarily on public television and was pretty dull. And the hostess kept droning on about how great "Babe" was, lol!

My apologies. I got them mixed up as I knew he had/was going to be in Jacksonville. I just heard the plug for him on the Gator (streaming works well) for tomorrow.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion.

Zan - LOL Thanks for the map. I looked up a couple more maps and I'm going to study them more before posting :oops:

Hippie, you're welcome :) Thanks for the geography lesson too, I appreciate it. I'll learn everyone's state from this board before Christmas :)

fsutall, are you going to see Dennis? I can't remember or missed a post if you are going.

Here's the link to the station:

I'm listening to it right now. I'm pretty mad at the moment because I was just reading the play list and I missed hearing "Any Way You Want It"!! Love that song :)

Definitely! My employer is a corporate sponsor of the JSO so I'm hoping to get some free tickets. I did see Dennis with Styx at a few stops on the 1996 tour (Knoxville, Atlanta) but have never seen him on his own. If anybody else is planning to attend the Jacksonville show let me know.
