Okay, I'll say in advance that I'm embarrased to post this but what the heck, i'm among friends!!!

I'm a Kenny Chesney fan and saw him in concert recently and while I was looking at some recent pictures that were posted on this sight the song about the "Old Blue Chair" of his came on my ITunes and so I'm wondering... have any of you ever seen him while vacationing there or know any interesting tid bits of his living there? Just random thinking on my part, but I do love how he describes the feeling of being on St. John in that song and mentions Cinnamon Bay and it added so much to looking at the pictures! I think at least one of his albums was written in great part while he was there. Anyone know anything that will fuel my interest?

I promised myself I wouldn't get involved, but I believe the house that Connie posted is actually owned by a couple from San Francisco..... I heard that from someone who lives on the island.

Sorry Connie- someone (I thought it was you) posted a photo of this house in his/her trip report saying it was Kenny's. I guess I'm a little slow.... 🙂

I wonder where you can buy those hats that Kenny wears. I never see them in any of the stores where I shop. I was thinking that I could buy up a bunch, print something on them and sell them on STJ. Maybe: "I saw Kenny on STJ" or "I'm looking for Kenny" or "No, I'm not Kenny". Another thing could be those sleeveless t-shirts that he likes with slogans like "Have you seen Kenny?" or "I didn't see for Kenny on STJ, maybe he was in the BVI". And of course a basic "Kenny Rules".

I thought for years that some smart fellow could do pretty well with Kenny merchandise on STJ. Another thought was to sell Kenny maps, like the maps of stars' homes that they sell in Hollywood. Or to actually run a Kenny Tour---get a safari truck, play his cds and drive around pointing out Kenny-related sites on the island. But my wife keeps nixing these ideas, so I keep setting the alarm and getting up and going to work. But I can dream.

I'd even be willing to bring a side dish.
Hope they have a ping-pong table.

Connie,
That was Weary's idea. I don't have a wife - I'm of the same type person as his wife though!

Weary,
You could probably make a bundle on a, 'Pin the Exhaust on the Sexy Tractor' game on STJ maybe.

We could all try it out at the monster house party and give you some on the spot feed-back

Dream, you're a decent fellow. You had an opportunity there to take the credit (and the praise) for one of my ideas, but you didn't. If I ever do go into the Kenny business, you're the kind of guy I'd like to have for a business partner. I'm also very impressed with your ideas for a potluck party and that "Pin the Exhaust" game sounds like it could really be a hit (and a lot of fun to play, too).

Weary and Connie,

I'm a gal. I even like Kenny even though I've never seen him perform in person or bought one of his CD's. I do like his tan.

Weary,
Happy to become business partners on STJ. And, since I'm an artist to boot, I could really make that tractor look sexy.
Carribean Style.

Connie,
That was too Kenny's house!! The open air cab driver that drove us to Cinnamon Bay stopped and pointed it out to us. We just said "Kenny Who?" If you drooling women left him alone, he might still be on STJ.

Don't worry he still makes it to STJ but doesn't hang out at the normal spots as much to much hype

Bassman,
I don't drool, not yet anyway.

Waterguy,
Does "hank out" have anything to do with that party animal Williams guy??

That's not "hank out." They call that "Hankin' it up" when you party with Bocephus.

From what I understand from the locals I know, Chesney is still around but he's a little more selective with who gets to know where he lives these days.

I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars to go on vacation to stalk a bald, 5'4" country star, but I suspect I could be too sane for my own good.

Regardless, this thread is hilarious.
