Coral Reefer Doyle Grisham returns to Time After Island Time for an exclusive interview. Time After Island Time welcomes back pedal steel guitar virtuoso Doyle Grisham. Doyle Grisham has recorded with some of the hottest Country Talent in music. He provided pedal steel guitar work for Jimmy Buffett since the 1970s and since 1999 has been a touring member of the Coral Reefer band. He has been delighting audiences when he plays lead on stage during ‘Come Monday.’

He talks about what it was like coming back to tour with Buffett after all of those years, the song that means the most to him, how he likes to spend his down time on the road and at home, his old band ‘The Bandits,’ and also some memories from the recording of Livin’ and Dyin’ in ¾ Time. We have a lot of classic and modern Buffett for you to listen to, as well as a few curve balls.

Tallahassee.com has a review of Land Shark Lager in a blog by Doug Blackbur: "WWJD? What would Jimmy (Buffett) drink?

Land ahoy! Lank Shark Lager is here. The Jimmy Buffett brew was unveiled Monday and will be available in local stores next week. So what is it? First and foremost it is first-rate marketing. We’ll talk about the actual beer in a minute, but let’s examine this coup by Anheuser-Busch.

If you don’t know Budweiser makes Land Shark Lager, you won’t learn it by studying either the bottle or the six-pack container. Go to www.landsharklager.com and you can learn about the relationship.

The Aspen Daily News has an article: "’Freddy and the Fishsticks’ show yields $65K for charity"

Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band performed at the Belly Up under the name Freddy and the Fishsticks on Dec. 22, just before the musician’s 60th birthday. It was Buffett’s second year in a row playing Belly Up and the second straight year that Goldberg returned the favor with sizeable charitable donations.

"He has fond memories here. Aspen is a deep part of his soul. He and (his wife) Jane were married here and they used to own a house in Old Snowmass," said Basalt resident Mike Mooney, who along with his brother, Tim, brought Buffett back to Aspen. The brothers have both worked as managers for Buffett and his band. "He still loves the town and its spirit so he chooses to come to Aspen to celebrate his birthday. … The show is the best party in Aspen."

Slate magazine has an article: "A Pirate Looks at 60 – Jimmy Buffett’s midlife crises".

By all accounts, Buffett lives the life he sings about. For his fans, most of whom aren’t multimillionaires with large pleasure craft, the experience is vicarious: The closest many will come to a Caribbean lagoon is a kiddie pool in the parking lot of a Jimmy Buffett concert. Yet Buffett’s songs are not so much about an escape to a place as a flight from time. His true theme is the Me Generation midlife crisis.
