Confirmed report from Tom Jernigan:
The tickets for the Peconic Montessori Benefit Concert go on sale on Friday Sept 14th. The concert date is October 13, 2001. This is the annual solo concert that Bubba gives to raise money for the school. There is a silent auction held after the concert.
This year’s concert is again in Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY. Guild Hall seats 299 people, but at last year’s show tickets were sold the night of the show for standing room. Ticket prices are $1000.00 for front row (14 seats) and the 4 aisle seats on the second row. The remaining seats on the second row are $500.00, and the general seating is $250.00.
East Hampton is an easy 45-minute drive from Long Island’s MacArthur airport in Islip, and if you’re near a Southwest Airlines city you can get some cheap fares.
This has to be the best place to see Jimmy, so if you think you might want to go, you better call early.
After the concert, Roger Bartlett (former Coral Reefer) is performing at a post-concert party at a bar just up the street. Bubba does frequent this place so you never know…

They are putting your name on a list for tickets on a first come first serve basis.
