The Biloxi SunHerald has a couple of articles on Jimmy’s sister Lucy Buffett: "Crazy sista cuisine, Lucy Buffett’s book backs her cooking creds" and "What makes Jimmy Buffett’s little sister tick?"
Q: What does brother Jimmy order when he drops by LuLu’s?
A: He always orders some gumbo, then a shrimp or an oyster loaf, depending on the season. We always have some peel-and-eat shrimp. Oh, yes, and crab claws. He’d never order a hamburger here or a roast beef po-boy or fried green tomatoes. He orders what we grew up eating.
Lucy "Lulu" Buffett’s new cookbook "Crazy Sista Cooking: Conversation and Cuisine with Lucy Buffett” is now available at Amazon.com.

Saw this posted on a Sonny Landreth fan site: Sonny has plans to play several shows with Jimmy Buffett this year. He’ll first be playing in Houston with Buffett in April (around the Houston Intl Festival date). He’ll be playing with Jimmy at Margaritaville Cafe on May 1 and at New Orleans JazzFest on May 3rd.
There are some June dates as well, early June in Atlanta and Durham, mid June in New York and Philadelphia. At many of the larger venues the entire band will play a mini set during Buffett’s break.
