taking our 5th trip to STJ in a few days, we always take a day trip to Jost so my wife can see and meet Foxy, we are 0-4, just wondering if anyone has ever seen or met him in the summer months? we would like to know he will be around this time.
The best time to see him and get some personal time is to go early (11am or so) - it's pretty quiet and he'll come out and hang for awhile. Last time we had lunch with him - he's so nice.
I know he goes up North (Mass?) for a regatta every year, but I can't remember when that is?
We were there twice last week and did not see him...day or night. We did see him just after New Year's this January at lunch time but was a photo op only. Our kids were thrilled! Good luck!
I also heard similiar sad news--that he had throat surgery and would not be performing anytime soon.
Lets hope these are just ugly rumors. Had hoped we would see him in November.
I haven't heard anything about lung cancer, but I do know that he had surgery last year for pollops on his vocal kords and hasn't been preforming. I spoke with him briefly when we were on Jost in Feb. He was hanging out around 10:30 or so in the morning when we cleared customs. The previous Feb he played and sang all afternoon on a friday in Feb. There are some pictures of him in this slide show from the previous year when he preformed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2EoMPzVsfI
