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

[NancyIL]

I see them every week. Nancy was in town this week for her birthday, so I got to see some shows with her.

I didn't see this until now. I enjoyed hearing Off Kilter almost 3 weeks ago, and it was even more fun hanging out with my friend Tammy! Jamie was on vacation, so Jason Thomas and Jordan Woods-Robinson filled in on the fiddle. Jason was there 4 out of 5 days, and he was awesome!

No sign of them being at the 2012 Milwaukee Irishfest :-(

They played at the Indy Irish Fest in 2010, but they don't travel much any more. However, if it's any consolation...*I* plan to go to the Milwaukee Irish Fest!

Not exactly when you'll be there, but I'll be there in 2 months 4 weeks and 1 day . Jamie better be there this time . We went to WDW for 3 days before our cruise and 5 days after our cruise in May and no Jamie at ANY shows . We asked Mark about it and he said that we were just unlucky and hitting his days off . I do NOT like the 7 days a week schedule, making it a very slim chance that you will get to see the original
"fab 5" .

I'll be there Sept. 25-Oct. 3 - so I may just miss you.

I was at WDW April 17-25, and Jamie wasn't there at all. However, Jason filled in on fiddle most of the days, and he was great, as always.

Hmmm, makes me wonder if "something" is up with Jamie ??

I was also there at the end of July, and Jamie was there most days.

We have been here since last Thursday Oct. 4 and seen lots of Off Kilter shows. The last set they did on Sunday night was fantastic. I was surprised at tonight's show to see only Randy among the regulars. In all the years that we have been watching them I don't ever remember seeing so few of the regulars. We will be seeing them agin tomorrow.

Do you know who was subbing - other than (I imagine) Jason on fiddle?

Scotty was drumming.

My mind is blank with the other subs last night. Jason was one of them and I wish I could remember the other ones names. One of the subs we watch we did see last week also. We will be back at Epcot today to watch more shows. I just wonder why so many subs. It seems there has really been a lot of subs in the last few years.

The guys are getting old...they need more rest!

I heard Off Kilter Sept. 26-30. All 5 were there 1 day, Jason subbed for Jamie 2 days, Billy Varnes subbed for Randy 1 day and Mark another day, and Woodsy subbed for Mark 1 day.

It was Randy, Scotty, Billy, Jason and Mark McDowell. They were great. Billy did some Stevie Ray Vaughan. They always have so much fun when Jamie's not there.

We saw 4 shows yesterday and they were all fantastic. There last show was so good I wish they could of kept on playing. So far we have seen about 10 shows on this trip and they are performing better than ever. I think the combination of regulars and subs are giving them a new energy. We will be seeing more shows today. I love staying at The Boardwalk so it's only a short walk to see them.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

What a great 9 days we spent staying at the Boardwalk. I just love staying so close to Epcot. Because we were so close we were able to see 12 shows during our stay. We saw all 5 regulars several times plus many great subs. I really like having Jason as a regular now. Nothing against Tony but I love having Jason and his fiddles playing as one of the regulars.

I will look forward to seeing Jason all of the time, but I will also miss Tony.

 

[OK!]

Hey all! It's been forever since I was here but wanted to let you know that the Great Wardrobe Debacle appears to be afoot again at the Off Kilter stage. In the last few days, they've had Randy and Jason in outfits that look absolutely nothing like the rest of the guys, including long pants and several layers for Randy, at least (poor guy was about to drop from heat stroke the other day and it's only April!) I don't know if many of you all participated in the letter-writing campaign last time around (it was a few years ago, at least, when they were trying to outfit them like the Village People), but we may want to give it a go again.

Here's a little visual for ya:


Yikes. If anyone wants to voice concern, you can use the wdw.guest.communications@disneyworld.com address and let the powers that be know that we like our Off Kilter, well, kilted. I don't know if it'll do any good, but it can't hurt! They actually do read correspondence and pay attention to guest opinions (well, most of the time. Lol.) Thanks, all!
