Let's hear from all you OFF KILTER fans !!!!

[NancyIL]

Carol - that's disappointing that you and your bf missed seeing Off Kilter on Sunday. I'll be there 2 weeks from now on a Monday and Tuesday, and by golly - they'd better be playing!!!

 

[newholidayx2]

especially on that Tuesday!

I am sitting at the airport now... had the same problem. I really wanted the boyfriend to see them, but they didn't perform Sunday

Oh well...

I looked for you and your DH at the race, but didn't see you. (I am actually composing my letter to Disney right now and it's not real nice. I was not impressed, it was our first Disney race and quite possibly our last. The boyfriend found the 20 minute delay completely unacceptable!)

Sorry you didn't get to see them Carol - and that you missed us at the race. I was kinda nervous since it was the furthest distance I have ever done!! We were lucky and didn't get cought up in the traffic issue but I was dissapointed in the 20 min delay - they could have avoided that by having transportation and adjusting the traffic signals. I am hoping next year will be better (since we are only 3 hours south I will do it again)

We were able to see Off Kilter yesterday at the 5:30PM show since my DH decided he didn't want to leave yesterday morning after riding Soarin (as we had planned) so we stayed another night.

We missed the earlier shows so luckly we made it to the 5:30 show. Tony wan't there but Jason (I think that is the fiddler's name) was there. It was raining off and on but had stopped by time they were done. We left Epcot to go back to our room at BCV since we were so close. We decided to go back for the 7:30 show and then at 7:30 they announced the show was cancelled due to the weather. We were glad we at least got to see them the one show. Oh well I guess it will be either Feb or May that we see them again (depending on if we go in Feb as I know we will be going in May for the Minnie Marathon) I think I am hooked on Disney races (although I think the so called "party" afterword was kind of a joke - but that is another issue)

Was Jason there in addition to Jamie? The only time I've heard Jason play with OK (and he's a GREAT fiddle player) was when Jamie wasn't there. I hope their schedule will be back to normal next week and the week after, with all of the usual suspects playing on Nov. 12 and 13 - in good weather!

Nancy - thats how i read the above thread too.
Ive seen the fiddler guy fill in for Jamie but never for Tony

Its almost time! 2 more days till Im right in front of Off Kilter

Yes both Jason and Jamie were there. At first I thought we had all 6 of them there but then I noticed Tony wasn't there I have seen them all perform together - fiddle, bagpipe, keyboards and the rest of the band but that was an off site show for St Patty's day. (Yes I know there isn't really 6 members of the band but I think he is like an honorary member)

I hope for all of you that have trips planned that they are all back to normal and on the correct schedule with good weather.

Confession time....

I came back to Florida. (I am actually in Sebring today dealing with some family matters)

Last night I saw two and a half shows... (Did you know that if your plane lands at 5 you can pick up a rental car at Hertz and be at Off Kilter by 5:45??? LOL!)

Tony was not there, nor was Jason. It was just Jamie, Mark, Randy and Scott. Good shows and I have THREE new songs now.

1. Queen of Argyle.
2. Brother John (in French)
3. Forgot name, but it includes a "sing along part" It's a typical OK where we start with song one and do about two more LOL!

 

[newholidayx2]

plane lands 1245 sat afternoon
think i'll make the 230 show using magical express, checking in at Pop and then get myself over to EpCot?!
ya i didnt think so - maybe the 330 if Im really lucky
if not I'll definately be at the 530, 630 &730

(Im bringing all 5 of their cds with me so they'll be on the plane ride!)

Glad you were able to catch some of their shows (you actually did better than me - I only got to see 1 show and so only 4 songs but at least one was Alive and another was Here I Stand - 2 of my favs!!!

#3 is "Tell Me Ma"/"What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor" medley

If Tony is off this week - then hopefully he'll be back in two weeks! Hey -why do you think I stand where I do...on the left?

As I type this it's almost 3 p.m. eastern time. I don't know if your flight(s) to Orlando were affected by Hurricane Noel - but I hope you got there without too much delay, and you'll soon be hearing our boys!

By the way, tomorrow (Nov. 4) is Randy's 50th birthday! http://groups.msn.com/OffKilterShrine/biographies.msnw I never would've guessed he was that old, although some of us 50+ folks are pretty well-preserved!

I always plan on seeing them and have missed them everytime

My favorite group in the WS!

I like Off-Kilter. I'm more of a British Invasion guy, but thats just me. I know dbm20th is a big big Off Kilter guy as he's always fawning over them at Mouse Extra. Like so

I dig the Mariachi band as well

I used to favor British Invasion, but I've been a true-blue OK fan the past 2 years. However, when both OK and BI are playing, I've been known to spend the afternoon and evening going back and forth between the two!

In that photo from Mouse Extra, Mark is in the center, and someone is to his left - holding what looks like a bow in his hand. I'm guessing Jamie wasn't there (which explains why Mark is in the middle), and Jason the fiddler was there instead.

Around what time do they start playing? Do they play almost every day? I'd love to take my kids to see them, my daughter just started violin lessons, so I'd like to try to plan around them if I could. We're going the first week of May if that makes any difference.

Their schedule can be found by clicking on "Epcot" and then "Canada" - http://pages.prodigy.net/stevesoares/index.htm They usually play Sunday through Thursday, with shows at 2:30, 3:30, 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30. Note that the fiddle player normally doesn't play with the group unless he is substituting for the bagpipe or keyboard player. www.offkilter.net

Hmmm...right now I have EPCOT planned for Saturday, but we can always go back Sunday afternoon just to enjoy shows! It sounds like it would be worth it!

We were just at Epcot yesterday (Saturday) and Off Kilter was playing.

Their schedule last week was different from the norm. They usually don't play on Fridays or Saturdays.
