Hey Gang,
Hope this finds everyone well and in good spirits at this crazy time
of year. We want to first take this opportunity to welcome back
our own De Lei'ed Parrots street
team member Captain Elisha Parkhill home from Iraq.
As a lot of you know, we have been singing to her and raising our
glasses for team drinks since she left back in May. In some
small way, we want to think that this worked, so we are going to
continue this tradition for our other street team member that is in
Iraq, Specialist First Class Michael Best. We think he is due
home in March, so please keep him and all of our soldiers fighting for
our freedom in your prayers. Elisha and Michael we are all so
proud of you!!

email list, but there were so many folks that I wasn't able to get
around to speak to and wanted to send this out.
A great big THANK YOU for your show of support for
Bryan Crews at Gasoline Alley last night. I hope you guys felt
all the "love in the air" as we did. It was just like
old times. What an awesome evening at a wonderful, friendly, and
accommodating club. It has been months since I have seen
some of you and it just blew me away when people just kept coming
through the door. We have performed at a lot of big shows and
festivals, but that little get together yesterday was just amazing.
Let's keep this love going Parrot Heads.....See ya down the road....

We want to let you guys know where we will be this Friday to
celebrate Independence Day.
Safety Harbor Resort & Spa (105 N Bayshore, Safety
Harbor) We'll be set up back on the bayview lawn overlooking the
water. The party starts at 4:00 and ends with a grand display
of fireworks over Tampa Bay. There will be plenty of
food and drink, but you might want to bring a chair or a blanket
and plenty of sunscreen.
When we did this show year before last, it seemed like the whole town of
Safety Harbor attended, so these folks really know how to throw a
party~~
This year, we will be dedicating our show to our two De Lei'ed Parrot
Street Team Members
Captain Elisha Parkhill and PFC Michael Best that are over in Iraq
helping to keep our country safe. If you have a little American
Flag, please bring it along as we will be flying our flags for them
every time we do a teeaaammm drink!!
Hope to see some of you Friday, but if any of you all are traveling,
please be safe on your journeys. By the way, if you're going to
the Rays/Red Sox game today at Tropicana Field, stop by the Budweiser
Tailgate Tent in Lot 7 and say Hey. We'll be there from 4:00 until
the game starts.
Take care and God Bless
America~~^~~^~~

Hey Gang
We had a wonderful show opening for The
Drifters last week, and met so many new friends. Just wanted to
let you all know that we got a last minute show for Sunday this
week and hopefully some of you all can come out and check this new place
out.
It's called the Deep Water Grill
(formally Bally Hoos) at 900
N. Pinellas Ave in Tarpon Springs. They just had their
grand opening last week and the place is great. Huge tiki deck out
back with a cool stage for us, full bar, and a good looking menu.
We play from 6:00-10:00.
It's funny how things work, but we were up checking the place out for a
De Lei'ed Parrots reunion in March and wouldn't you know it was their
first day opening. So, with a little more luck this could be our
new public venue for the northern counties
Hope to see you Sunday, but if not, please just keep checking the
website for updates...
Fins to the north~~^~~~^~~^

Hey Gang,
Hope this finds everyone in good health and good spirits. Wow,
another year is quickly coming to a close...Where does the time
go?? New Friends have come in, some friends have moved away, some
friends are sailing away and some friends have even returned
from the Islands. Change is a part of life I guess, and
there is never an ordinary moment on this voyage as long as we
all stick together and just keep sailing~~
With this said, it is with fond memories that we will be saying good-bye
to our friends Greg & Kristie as they start their new journey in Texas
and we want to send them off in true Parrot Head fashion. We will
be having lots of teeeaaammm drinks in their honor....
Nov 30th (Fri) Dog
Water Cafe (18825
US 19 N Clearwater) 7:00-11:00
So come on out for a fun night. We've got a few surprises up our
sleeves too~~(it's a secret, but I feel some magic coming about)
Also, if you're ready to get out to the beach with this warm Florida
winter we're having, this is where we will be on Saturday...
Dec 1st (Sat) Bahama
Momas (Grand Plaza St Pete Bch)
2:00-6:00
Great little laid back Tiki Bar right on the water~~
With the Holidaze upon us, everyone take care, journey safely and
keep a song in your heart~~~~

11/05/07 HE CAME....WE WENT.....WE CONQUERED...!!!!!!
Hey Gang
First off, YES, I still have this smile on...Welcome to all the
new additions to our mailing list that signed on during the Concerts this
week, and what an AWESOME week we had here in Tampa
Bay!! I apologize in advance if this update gets a little
lengthy, but I am humbled and there is a lot to be said.
A Big THANKS to all of you that came out on Friday to the Pre Concert
Kick Off at Dog Water Cafe in Clearwater.
I think everyone had fun and that seems like ages ago..
Then Thursday came and upon arrival at the Ford Amphitheatre we were told
that Jimmy's plane just went by overhead, but the Coral Reefers had
arrived. I think it had just hit me that we were opening for Jimmy
Buffett. Then when we heard Jimmy singing "Tryin to
Reason" for sound check, it all began to sink in. In the middle
of our set up, we had to wait till the 5 minute rains passed, but that
brought the cold front in, we did our sound check, and waited for the gates
to open. At 6:30 we started our show, and I want to THANK all of
you guys that came by the stage to say "hey". You know who
you are!!! Our show ended at 7:50 and the Band went backstage and
toasted with a bottle of champagne. Thanks Parrot Brothers for a Great
Show!!!
By the time we arrived back at the Amphitheatre on Saturday, we were old
pros. Jimmy sang "On the Road Again" for his sound check,
and we had so much time on our hands after our sound check that we even
got a little mini rehearsal in. The gates opened a little earlier
because so many more people were there, that we split our show up into 2
sets. Again, THANKS to all for coming by before and after our
show (that includes you Captain Harry). You all are the best!!
Thanks again to my Parrot Brothers for Rockin' such a Great Show!!!
Yes, another bottle of champagne was corked :-)
One special thanks goes out to Queen Moma Vera for enduring two long days
with the band and setting up our merchandising table and getting all the new
names on the email list. Hey, thanks for all that chicken that you
cooked for us on Thursday too. You are truly the new Queen of the De
Lei'ed Parrots Street Team!!!!!
I want to thank each of you for your support over all these years, and again
welcome all of our new friends. We surely don't know how long or where
this ship will sail, but we are having one hell of a magical, musical
journey~~~
Until next time-----
Take care, be safe, and put a jacket over your fins...it's FINALLY cooling
off here in the Sunshine
State. Keep an eye on our website for updates and pictures of
the Concert Shows....
luv to all
Connie & the De Lei'ed Parrots
10/24/07 BUFFETT WEEK KICK-OFF PARTY AT THE DOGWATER CAFE!!!10/12/07 Hey Gang,
We just wanted to share the news...The confirmation call came today that:
***The De Lei'ed Parrots will be
performing on Stage B at the Ford Amphitheater as the opening act for Jimmy
Buffett Thursday November 1st and Saturday November 3rd***
We want to thank our agent Larry Lisk over at Skipper's Smokehouse Talent
Agency for ALL of the time that he put in to make this happen for us.
Also, on Friday, October 26th, we will be teaming up with The Port of
Indiscretion along with Byan & Sherry Cruze to throw one hellacious
Pre-Buffett Concert Party at Dog Water Cafe (18825
US 19, Clearwater) 7:00-11:00. We all have to get warmed up
before the concert!!!!
You guys take care, and just know that I will probably have this big ole'
smile on my face until after the concerts.....FINS UP~~~^~~~^~~~
luv
Connie & The De Lei'ed Parrots
