We want more – tell us when you became a parrothead and why you joined the TBPH club:

In reality, I guess I have always been a parrothead because I have always liked his music.  But I joined the club (with hubby) in April 2004 (the night before the concert) and Stormans was rocking that night.  We joined the club because we wanted to meet people and give something back to the community at the same time.  I always thought that I had a big heart when it came to helping people, but when I joined the club my heart opened up even more.  I have never had so much fun being involved in all aspects of something.  It has been the absolute best experience for me.  I have met so many wonderful friends who I know will be my friends for life.  And I am looking forward to meeting so many more.  Thanks TBPHs.
