Jimmy Buffett’s 2006 Tour comes in at number 4 on the "Sirius Satellite Radio Top Ten Music Events of the Year"

# 4 Every concert performance from Jimmy Buffett’s 2006 Party at The End of the World tour was broadcast live exclusively on Buffett’s Radio Margaritaville channel.

From an article in the Ottowa Citizen: "Canadian seafood not welcome at Jimmy Buffett’s buffet". Jimmy Buffett has banned Canadian seafood from Margaritaville Cafes in an effort to raise awareness about the Canadian seal hunt.

"Margaritaville Cafes will not be purchasing or serving Canadian seafood products until the Canadian government ends the commercial seal hunt permanently," Mr. Buffett said yesterday in a statement.

"I do not look at this as one nation telling another how to best manage its affairs. I view it as an effort to make humans more humane in the way they manage the planet."

A video clip from Miami’s KISS Country Radio (recorded back in October 2006) is available on YouTube: "Jimmy Buffett Interview from Shrimpboat Studios"

This is a unique piece of video. Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes BEFORE an interview you hear on the radio? Here’s Terry and Staci of Miami’s KISS Country Radio, with Jimmy Buffett at his Shrimpboat Studios in Key West. This is video that was taken before the actually on-air interview began.

Peter Mayer is in a world of his own as a songwriter, and a flawless guitar player. He is the front man for the Peter Mayer Group (formerly known as PM), and has been the lead guitarist in Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band for almost 20 years.

He is the special guest on Time After Island Time this week and along with music from him, his band members R. Scott Bryan and Vincent Varvel, he plays unplugged for all of you listeners. He plays his favorite PM song, and explains why…and also plays the song "India" and talks about how the song came to be. He talks about growing up in the country India and even plays the first Beatles song he ever heard.

From an article at ContactMusic.com: Chesney To Produce Willie Nelson’s Next Album

Country superstar Kenny Chesney is set to add producer to his impressive resume after Willie Nelson personally asked him to take charge of his upcoming covers album. Nelson plans to record songs written by Kris Kistofferson, Randy Newman and Jimmy Buffett on the new project with Chesney at the controls. The pair have been pals ever since Chesney sang Nelson’s "The Last Thing I Needed" at a televised tribute concert to the grizzled country star in 2003.
