What are you missing in the Philippines?

But how great would it be to have a man-made snow resort in Philippines going forward.  The tech is out there as you can see it in Dubai.

There is "ice scating" in Manila, but I believe its on plastic.  And Cebu has some type of cold amusement but I dont know what.

How long does the review take for a posted pic to pass?

"Took a pic of Merle's last concert at The Ryman.

I saw posts with pic so I guess it's just a matter of how long.  Or is it a privilege thing where one has to meet certain number of posts first to unlock pic posting.

And how about youtube video sharing (not link)?  How to do that?

Meant I'm now looking into moving to the Philippines. Yeah, don't see an indoor ski slope anytime soon in the Philippines 😂

They should put one inside  Pampanga's New Clark City.   

oh.. dude Gardo... I'd like to see that Hag pic from the Ryman.   I use to be in the music biz for a many year and performed with a few artists'...  just moved from Nashville/LaVergne to my brother here in New England CT before my permanent re-locale to Cebu PI.  I kind of miss the music biz and I don't.  Retired now and maybe I might gig for fun in the Phils.

I'm in Old Hickory right now tpiro.    Dude why did you even leave us?  And for New England?      Just kiddin.   I guess it's great timing since Patriots spanked Titans butts.   

Covid has been especially bad to us here, since we are a tourist spot.   Lots of concerts had been rescheduled or cancelled altogether.  Sad.   Also sad  is this current talk about banning alcohol in bus parties.      I mean one of my fave pastimes is to sit on my stool in Broadway with a drink in hand and marvel at the slightly inebriated ladies dancing, I meant, gyrating      in the busses.

Hope to catch one of your gigs in PI.

yeah boy!.. classic pic of Hag.. I believe that is his son Ben playing guitar with him there and Biff Adams on drums.. he just died last year.  Man, all the good ones are going or gone.. I sure do miss the music I was raised on and had performed for many years in the music biz..  nowadays it is all bull shit music they call country. Thanks for the pic man.. appreciate it.

Hey Gardo.. yup, just sitting up here freezing my ass off waiting to get to JFK on March 1st to fly to Cebu .. where, may I add- it is nice and toasty!  Of course that is.. is they don't throw any more restrictions at us.

God-willing, I'll see you one of these days in Pinas.   Hopefully sooner than later.

Btw, could you recommend me some bars/venues to go to based from your experience that you liked most?  I mostly just go to what some would describe as the regular venues -- Tootsie's, Nudies, The Ryman, Bridgestone Arena, Schermerhorn and the Opry.

sorry dude.. haven't been downtown in years... it has all changed.  don't know of any bars that actually has REAL country music performers/bands... it is all this today's junk.
