Well I just hope no one wants a refund because ten to one says Boatman doesn't have the money to refund
I too would love to see Molly Hatchett. I grew up listening to southern rock. Unfortunately southern maryland isn't like it used to be when I was growing up. When I was in high school we could party pretty much anywhere in the county and play our music as loud as we wanted and no one cared. That probably had something to do with the fact that there were so many fewer people and most of my crowd lived in the rural areas so everyone had land. As long as you didn't stray onto the neighbor's property or damage any of their stuff you were okay. We had huge bonfires and partied all night. Those were the good old days.Woodyspda said:
It seems now that the county has had an influx of higher income families who prefer to attend a more upscale performance. I attended an outdoor concert at La Plata Town Hall this summer and I have to say I did enjoy it. It was very different from the usual type of music I listen to, but I have to say that it was nice for a change. So either I am getting older or I am starting to adapt to the "new" southern maryland. Either way I do miss the good old days.

Molly Hatchet Concert To Be Moved Following Neighborhood Complaints
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
St. Mary’s Co. ENTERPRISE
By John Wharton
Staff Writer
The prospects for a Molly Hatchet concert in southern St. Mary’s later this month were flirting with disaster after last week’s county liquor board meeting, but another venue now plans to host the show.
The proprietors at Boatman’s Restaurant and Sports Bar in Ridge began promoting and selling tickets last spring for the July 28 performance to include two additional bands.
Local reaction to an earlier concert on the night of June 16, however, prompted complaints to police and administrative charges that brought the business’ license holder before the alcohol beverage board on Thursday.
Board members said 127 people signed a petition after the concert last month. Among the eight area residents testifying to their concerns about the performance by Outreach was Bobby Abell, who arrived home at midnight with family members after going to a baseball game.
‘‘As we got out of the car, we heard this god-awful noise coming from next door,” Abell said. ‘‘I heard some of the lyrics, ... [and] I said ‘Did I hear that right?’”
Reviewing a list of the band’s songs, liquor board Chairman Charles P. Miedzinski said, ‘‘Some of these words in here, I’m not going to use. For somebody to let a band sit there and play that kind of music is totally ridiculous.”
Teresa Boatman, the restaurant’s license holder, admitted to the violation of disturbing the neighborhood, and her lawyer, Perry Becker, said, ‘‘My client wishes to profusely apologize for [the concert] going past the appointed hour. She has assured me that it will not happen again.”
Liquor board members and their attorney at Thursday’s meeting encouraged witnesses to focus their remarks on the event last month and not the upcoming concert, but the discussion ultimately delved into what lay ahead.
Denis Canavan, director of the county’s department of land use and growth management, said a permit allowed a ‘‘maximum of 999 people” for the Molly Hatchet performance in the restaurant’s ballfield, but that there were reports of 2,500 advance tickets already sold.
Daniel H. Raley, speaking ‘‘emphatically not as a county commissioner,” suggested that the liquor board withdraw permission for the sale and drinking of alcohol in the concert area, and restrict alcohol to the interior of the business.
Board member Tom Sacks received the two other voting members’ consent to his motions to fine the business $1,000 and immediately suspend for 18 months its use of an extra serving counter during live band concerts.
Nicholas Biscoe, owner of the Seaside View recreational campground near St. Inigoes, said Tuesday that the concert’s organizer has made arrangements to hold it there, on the same scheduled date.
‘‘He asked me if he could lease it for that date,” Biscoe said, for a limited audience. ‘‘He said it could be between five [hundred] and 700. We’re going to make space around here to park them.”
Raley said at the liquor board meeting that there’s no intent to keep Boatman’s restaurant from prospering.
‘‘The last thing we want in Ridge is to have a failed business,” Raley said.
Arthur Pilkerton had little trouble getting the board’s approval last week for an outdoor band performance during a horseshoe tournament held Saturday at the Friendly Tavern in Great Mills. Pilkerton said he checked with nearby residents to get their approval of the country music show.
‘‘They said they’d probably come over because they like country music,” Pilkerton said, adding that the show would be over by 11 p.m. and not require a permit for 999 guests.
‘‘I’ll be happy to get 99,” he said.
