A group of 16 gay reverends from Tampa Bay are heading their motorhomes north to the gay owned and operated Timberfell Lodge & Campground in Greeneville, TN (Timberfell.com) for a fun bear weekend. It may be a little cooler in them their mountains, boys! Remember “Deliverance!” Speaking of campgrounds, we hear a new black ”Limo Golfcart” has been delivered to Sawmill Campground’s residence sector. In celebration of a birthday (happy birthday, Chuck!), we hear that the new extended cart has AC, a DVD player, side curtains, full bar and a fun ride for 10!

James Taylor and Carole King wowed the over 17,000 music enthusiasts for their memorable “Troubadour Reunion Tour” at St. Pete Times Forum 2 Sundays ago. We were surrounded by friends, new and old, all wanting to hear the 40+ year fab singing star duo. Jeff Italiano, sis Terell and her partner cheered loud and strong. We were guests of theirs with friends flying in from South Carolina and Texas to come and experience the memories of growing up with acoustic guitar and free spirited independence heralded singing direction. It was strange because it brought me back to seeing them back in time when I remember them through the forty years of song writing and singing but experiencing and witnessing them at present.
Deja vu I guess! It was a moment of timelessness. Original 40 year band members were there performing also. Forty years after their 1969 beginnings at a club called Troubadour in Los Angeles to become iconic ballad and musical singers, then and still now. That is a true reflection of how one person can make a difference in your life. Carole (she looked great!) sang and played piano then taking turns letting James Taylor play guitar, recalling the years of hit song after song and the crowd often sang along. “I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet,” “Carolina In My Mind,” “I Feel Fire and Rain,” to the duo leading the Forum’s concerteers to singing “You’ve got a Friend.” In his opening comments, James Taylor told us all that it was going to be a 7 hour concert. Well, we wouldn’t have been disappointed, but it was almost 3 hours long with 2 crowd standing encore performances.
