Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will be adding two shows in Tampa, FL to the Bama Breeze Tour, Thursday November 1st and Saturday November 3rd (the venue will probably be the Ford Amphitheater). Ticket on sale information – to be announced.

Jimmy Buffett hopped on stage with Sonny Landreth and his band at Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, NY.

He sang "USS Zydecoldsmobile". When they finished he said that they only knew two songs and "By God you’re going to hear the second one". Then they did a kick-ass version of "Jambalaya".

After that Jimmy said that Sonny and his band was "the best three piece rock and roll band in the country". He also said that when he retires he "wants to play rhythm guitar in Sonny’s band".

BAHAMA BOB RADIO SPECIAL ON TIME AFTER ISLAND TIME
Produced by Paul Leslie and Jeff Pike

Bahama Bob splits his time between living in the United States and the Bahamas. He is a boater, operator of a Bahamian resort, Buffett fan, and a soon-to-be author. He is a man who has taken life by the teeth, and has worked hard, but maximized fun. Bahama Bob is writing a book about his philosophies in life…which includes kissing frogs (in the metaphorical sense.) He is a man who truly has the island spirit.

Tune into the Bahama Bob Special on the Time After Island Time radio show. In addition to a brief chat with Bahama Bob, we have tons of island music, and more. Listen to Time After Island Time from anywhere in the world on Radio JimmyDreamz at

The SunHerald had an article "Buffett, Atwood give library $75K"

Pascagoula natives Jimmy Buffett and Charles Atwood were joining forces and checkbooks to fund a much-needed project at the Pascagoula Library $75,000 to renovate the second floor area so it will match the first floor, which was remodeled after Hurricane Katrina.

Buffett’s "Singing For Change" charitable foundation also donated seven Hewlett-Packard computers to the library, which will be used in the teen area upstairs.

A new book pays homage to ‘City of New Orleans’ writer Steve Goodman

By the time he was through, Eals had constructed a portrait of the artist so complete that it includes everything from the Christmas cards his family mailed when he was a baby to the deathbed visit his old friend Buffett paid him.

"I guess he didn’t like my song," a startled Buffett said.
