I can remember in 2003 during Isabelle hurricane, that Friday, went to CT, the next day, 15 of us went to Elmira NY to see MB&then, next day was the fan reception&the gala. Then, Monday, was the golf event&reception. Then, stayed with friends for 3 nights&went to see MB in Bloomsburg PA. Yeah, i was gone from Friday to Thursday&took the train back to MD.

Horrid time here during that hurricane in 2003.. Now power/water for 8 days. Was in and out going to the concerts/gala too at that time. Trying to call our utility from CT and online at the hotel too..was terribly stressful for me but MB's music helped get me thru!
By the time that tour we had the concert in A. City, we had electricity and phones were finally restored too.. Some of the same events as you Robin...I hope everyone still out of power this time gets it back today or tomorrow...OMG

Hey Tom, I wondered if Michael said anything about his daughter, Isa, being at the Livermore concert like at the Saratoga, CA concert????-- wondered if she were traveling with him this stint, or just came to Saratoga? He did say it was a "very special evening" with her there that night... sorry, I'm a little delayed in getting caught up-- Anyway, I'm so glad Ashley gets those kisses and memories!

Here is a great interview with Michael. Looks like the push for upping the numbers for Jack Sparrow are paying off!!

To truly understand the rebirth of Michael Bolton as the crooner Jack Sparrow, all you have to do is size up the YouTube numbers.
Information: www.wellsfargocenterarts.org“I've had giant hits that have been up on YouTube for years and they're just approaching 8 million views,” he says.
By comparison, his cross-dressing pirate video has been on YouTube since May and it just passed 40 million views.
For those who somehow missed it, Bolton made a cameo in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch with The Lonely Island — the popular recurring comedy music trio. They bring him in as a guest singer to layer husky vocals over their latest club anthem, but instead of chiming in, Bolton starts to channel his inner cinephile — a closet movie geek who would rather dress up in skullcap and braided goatee as Captain Jack Sparrow, the “Pirates of the Carribbean” hero played by Johnny Depp. Throw in a few crane shots of Bolton, arms wide, spinning alone on the beach and a scary turn as Erin Brockovitch and you've got one of the most talked-about viral videos of the year.
It's merely the latest incarnation for the soft rocker turned white soul cover artist, who began his career in 1975 as Michael Bolotin, later touring with Ozzy Osbourne, appearing as an extra in David Lynch's “Dune” and now sharing a stage on tour with Kenny G.
Before he individually sings to every lady in the house at the Wells Fargo Center this weekend, Bolton took time out before his Tahoe show to chat about YouTube, the formative starving days and whether Bruno Tonioli — the “Dancing With the Stars” judge who famously shredded him on national television — ever apologized.
Q: So you won't be with Kenny G when you're in Santa Rosa?
A: No. Kenny will be with us in Saratoga and Wente (winery in Livermore). You're starting to sound like me — is Kenny gonna be with us on these shows? What day is it? What month is it? What year is it?
Q: You guys get along pretty good?
A: We do. It's funny, we go back so far. We started playing on each other's records as far back as ‘87. We did seven nights at the Universal Amphitheater (in Los Angeles) that were sold out and there was a billboard on Sunset for the longest time. We were both very proud and happy about it because we were both starving musicians for a lot of years. We go back that far.
Q: How has the backstage changed since ‘87?
A: Ha ha! It's very different. It's funny though, we've both kept a lot of the same people around us for the last 20 years. So we'll see the same faces 20 to 25 years older. We have a lot of war stories.
Q: How crazy is it that the Jack Sparrow sketch is up for an Emmy?
A: You won't believe the people that are yelling “Jack Sparrow!” as soon as I walk on stage. I finish the first song and it's “Jack Sparrow!” “Jack Sparrow!” And I'm also getting high-fives from an audience that is not my touring audience — the 14- to 40-year-old male YouTube audience.
Q: I read a YouTube comment that said, “This is the most awesome thing he's ever done!” What do you think about that?
A: Some of the YouTube comments are hysterical. It's truly unbelievable. My daughter is into every social media there is and she's predicting it's going to get up to 100 million views.
Q: You get paid by the views, right?
A: You know better than that. Somebody needs to create that equation though. Right now it's just a promotional network.
Q: Before we go, I have to know — did Bruno ever officially apologize to you?
A: He did not. He did walk up to me the last time I performed on the show and he was all like, “So happy to have you back. So happy to see you again.” And I kept waiting and I got nothing. Someone said something and he said, “You know, we're just doing our jobs” and he kept wagging his tail. But I still didn't hear those words — “I'm really sorry.”
