PREVIEW

HOPE YOU'RE hungry for sounds, because music is the appetizer, entree and dessert on the entertainment menu. Don't have tickets for Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band Wednesday at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater? STAY HOME! It sold out in an hour. But you can read an interview with the main Parrothead, and his local legions, in Wednesday's Break.

On Thursday, Neil Young and Crazy Horse bring what may well be the rockingest show of the season to the amphitheater. The Gin Blossoms and Ben Folds Five open.

That same night, country queen Reba McEntire entertains at Hampton Coliseum. So does Billy Dean.

Neil Young: 7 p.m. Thursday, $17.75 to $32.75, plus parking and service charges. Reba McEntire, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, $30 and $42 plus service charge. Order for both at 671-8100.
