I just had to say thank you for all of the Parrotheads who came into The Breakers for the benefit concert. It was a great night with great people listening to really great music. Thank you from The Academy of the Palm Beaches, The Palm Beach Day School and a really wonderful Alzheimers Association. You the fans made it wonderful. Thanks again, Deb

Mac McAnally will be playing the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, NY on Friday, September 3 at 8PM. Tickets are $35.00 General Admission / $45.00 VIP.
This date is the Friday before the [i:c43f58a663]unconfirmed[/i:c43f58a663] Jimmy Buffett show at Jones Beach (Saturday, Sept. 4).
I believe it is safe to say that Jimmy’s rumored Jones Beach date will soon become a reality, since it is unlikely that Mac would confirm a Long Island date if the Great Woods shows were any possibility.
Here’s the info for the Talkhouse:

A restaurant from Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville chain will anchor a new, Caribbean-theme addition to Broadway at the Beach by midsummer.
Broadway’s owner, Burroughs & Chapin Co. Inc., has not yet revealed the names of the new retailers in the 50,000-square-foot addition or a more specific opening date for Buffett’s island-themed, 14,000-square-foot restaurant.
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville will be a new prototype the chain is building in about a dozen locations, including Las Vegas.
