Jimmy Buffett performed at the Armory in NYC on Wednesday May 30th to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

From TJNYC: Jimmy was supporting a good cause and we all should check out Wounded Warriors and the work they do. Jimmy sang five songs. The first two were solo: "Cheesburger in Paradise" (requested by the honory) and "Son of a Son of a Sailor". The Nancy Atlas band came out and they did "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" and "Margaritaville", and Jimmy said goodbye. But of course everyone wanted more, so he came back and did "Volcano".

WLOX-TV has three concept drawings for the Margaritaville Casino that will be built in Biloxi: "Look Into The Future For Margaritaville Casino"

Today’s "The Flying McCoy’s" comic strip mentions Margaritaville. It’s pretty amusing, although they could have chosen WDWGDAS. Here’s the link: http://ucomics.aolsvc.aol.com/news/theflyingmccoys/2007/05/30/

An article in Fortune Magazine (the June 11th, 2007 issue) reveals the truth: "The Buffett mystery - Are Jimmy and Warren related?" And how did Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife get involved? Fortune’s Matthew Boyle reports on the resolution of a mystery"

About two months ago Warren and Jimmy submitted DNA to 23andMe. (Warren "just kept spitting into a little receptacle, and then we FedExed it. Not very elegant," says his assistant. Jimmy did the same.)

As it turns out, Jimmy and Warren do have common ancestors, but you have to go back more than 10,000 years to find them. That’s before surnames, folks. "Bottom line: We’re not related," Warren wrote to his sister Doris, the family genealogist, who opened this whole can of worms many years ago.

The East Hampton Star has some background information on Helen Bransford, the coauthor and illustrator of the book "Swine Not": "Helen Bransford Brings Home the Bacon"

All the swine-related subterfuge inevitably led to “Swine Not,” a book illustrated by Ms. Bransford and written in collaboration with her friend Jimmy Buffett, the original Parrot Head. Now that the imaginative author and her cloven-hoofed friends dwell in pig-friendly East Hampton, it’s safe for Little, Brown to publish it come fall.

“I was staying at Jane and Jimmy’s,” she said, referring to Mr. Buffett and his wife. “Jimmy said, ‘Let me read it, and took it on his sailboat overnight.’ The next day he told me he wanted to edit it and add layers. He got into it. Took it to a fantastic level. He likes animals.” She said it was originally meant to be a children’s book, and probably still was, although it was one that should appeal to easily amused adults.

Time After Island Time proudly presents JERRY JEFF WALKER: Gypsy Songman part 1 of 2. Produced by Paul Leslie and Jeff Pike.

It was a great honor to interview Mr. Jerry Jeff Walker, a songwriting and performing legend. We discussed his early roots as a folk artist, who he modeled himself after, the time he spends in Belize, his favorite songwriters and the evils of t-shirt shops. Jerry Jeff Walker gives an interesting and at times very witty and funny interview. Recorded down in Key West, Florida (Jerry Jeff Walker was the man who brought Jimmy Buffett to Key West). The man who wrote so many classic songs (including Mr. Bojangles), and has been covered by Harry Belafonte, Harry Nillson, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Sammy Davis Jr. and too many to list here… He is an inspiration to musicians young and old ranging from folk, country, rock, Americana and tropical.

Peter Mayer is an anomaly in the world of music. He is an accomplished singer, songwriter, guitarist, and front man for the Peter Mayer Group. He has written many wonderful songs for not only his own band, but has been covered by artists ranging from Vanessa Williams to Jimmy Buffett. He has been featured on many albums and has been the longest running guitarist in the history of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band (nearly 20 years).

Time After Island Time hooked up with Peter Mayer upon returning from Cancun, Mexico with Jimmy Buffett. He gave an in-depth interview about his music, his life, his feelings and he even played some songs on the acoustic guitar–just for you, the Time After Island Time listeners.
