The Biloxi Sun Herald has a nice interview with Greg "Fingers" Taylor "Chance meeting makes for chance of a lifetime"

And your background with Buffett?

"Buffett called me into Nashville (about 1975) when he got his recording contract with ABC Dunhill, and I started making albums with him back then. I think we ended up making about 30 or 35 albums….The brand new one should be out any day now. I got to work on that again. I left him, I was gone between 2001 up until recently. And I played with him 2 or 3 times on his tour this year. I’m going to Vegas here in about a week, probably play with him at the MGM. So we’re kind of getting it back together. We took a little hiatus from each other."

Jimmy was on the Today show and performed a couple of songs with the Coral Reefer Band: "Bama Breeze" and "It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere". He chatted with Today show host Matt Lauer talks about his new album "Take the Weather with You" and his drug bust in France.

NBC now has video available online:

The UPI has an article "Buffett takes ‘The Weather’ on new album"

U.S. singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett decided not to take the "easy" route on his new album, "Take the Weather With You."

"I’ve never been one to try to force the magic, so I just wanted to write some good songs and get some good songs by other people and just make a Jimmy Buffett record — which is just what I did."

I meet a student online today from The American School of Tangier in Morocco that told me Jimmy was at his school performing on Oct. 6th, 2006. You can check out some pics of Jimmy & Karim on [url=http://karimb.skyblog.com/3.html]KARIM"S BLOG [/url]and his video of Jimmy on [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFae-xBwtSU]YOU TUBE[/url] performing "Hey Good Looking" at AST.

Thanks to Karim for passing along the info!
