I have enjoyed all the episodes I have watched. Having only been to the Keys on a couple of occasions, this show has let me know that the next time I am there there is a lot more left to be seen and done. Thanks so much. Waiting for the next episode.
Bobby Curran on January 26th, 2011GREAT SHOW
wayne morgan on January 27th, 2011GER HER DONE
wayne morgan on January 27th, 2011We have lived here in the Keys for over 6 years. We are shocked (and ashamed) at how many places and events are here that we were not even aware of. It’s been amazing! We now have a LOT of catching up to do! Thanks to the show for bringing this all to our attention.
David and Debbie Cooper on January 27th, 2011That “current temperature” doesn’t hurt either! We have DirecTV & have set it to record all episodes! REALLY enjoying the show!
Sharon on January 27th, 2011I visit the Keys every year for a month Feb-March. I have been a fan of MM24 for years. The episodes of Key West Time have enlightened me to several things that i will put on my itinerary for this years visit. ( the haunted fort for one)
I am a very big fan of troprock music & would like as much info on this kind of music as possible.
Ed Wagner on January 27th, 2011Love the show. Would love to see you highlite great, unique places to stay when visitng the Keys.
Jeff on January 27th, 2011We look forward to each episode. We have our tickets and condo is rented. See you at the Marathon Seafood Festival, again.
Russ Tassie on January 27th, 2011Hope you are playing Boondocks the first two weeks in March.
Want Snow?
Had to answer No on your survey as we been here since 1992.
Liz Leonard on January 27th, 2011We come down to the Keys at least twice a year and stay on Big Pine. Always enjoy fishing, Boondocks, Looe Key across the street’ and partying around Key West. The show just makes us want to come back sooner and more often.
Phil Haynes on January 27th, 2011Will look forward to more “blog” and info from the Keys. I was happy to meet Howard (Howie – as my cousin Gregg calls him) last week. I have enjoyed your music everytime I see your band. And your attitude is inspirational…I wish I could be as happy as you seem to portray. Keep it up.
Back here in freezing, snowing Wauconda, IL.
Karen Schaid Wagner on January 27th, 2011At 7 tonight, I poured a glass of Chardonnay and sat down at my computer to watch the show, and Howie, I have to say, this was your best one ever! It showed more of the real Key West than anything else has, even to the sand sculptures at White and Virginia, right around the corner from where I lived until last February. I loved every minute of the show and I have to tell you, I was actually sobbing all the way through “Leave This Island”, for obvious reasons, since I really never wanted to leave that island. I miss it so much, but I know I’m near my children and grandchildren where I’m meant to be right now and I’m happy about that. I can’t wait to come back to see all of you in March for a few weeks! God bless and you all take care down there. Love, Peggy
Peggy Butler on January 27th, 2011I took you poll and had to answer no. However this may be misleading.
Perry Dickinson on January 27th, 2011I have been coming to Key West every year since 1998. At least twice a
year, sometimes 3 times a year and one year 4 times. However I love
your show and have not missed one. Keep up the great work Howie.
I love your music and your attitude about life. Meet me in the keys.

Chris Guinto, is super hot !!!
