What if Jimmy sang Sinatra "That's Life"

As we all know Jimmy likes to put into his set lists an occasional song made famous by someone else. Personally I like this if he doesn't get carried away. I think this approach may keep him performing a few more years which is what we all want. Let's face it "Let's Get Drunk" must make Ji...

Doubt if he looks too often if at all. I think he has it pretty figured out by now.

Just stayed there. Most places have a 2 week minimum in prime season. Only about 10 hotels on the island,all small and independent. Many villas at $500-$5000 per day. Check out the Sunset but it books up fast.

Mac show Chicago follow up

Saw Mac show on Friday before the Sat. Jimmy show. The crowd at the Colosseum was twice as big as last years show. Mac and Jimmy are working on a new song "Blame It On New Orleans" which, despite not being quite ready, he played. This song has big potential. Look for it soon. The show was ...

Pheonix Set list

I'm with you. Sounds like you put a lot of time into Buffett lyrics. You picked out some great songs. Peanut Butter is pretty good but only true followers know it. One Particular Horbour w/o brass takes a big hit.

Chicago Show Sunday

I was a little concerned if Wrigley would work for a Jimmy show without the parking lot tailgate and the ability to be with large groups if you choose the lawn at Tweeter but he pulled it off and I thought the show was one of his best ever. He was really jacked up for it. The ending with him in the ...

Mac in Chicago

I wouldn't steer you wrong. I actually talked to Mac at the Slugburger Fest in Corinth MS in July about doing something in Chicago. He put me in touch with his agent and I got hold of the Colosseum and the rest is history. Hope we get a good turnout. I'll be there with about 20 family members. My 3 ...

Mac in Chicago

Saw Mac in Vegas and Corinth MS this past year. Great shows. What is best is his story telling re. the writings of his songs. Also very personable and will stay after the show as long as people want to get his autograph and talk. Very humble. I live close to Mokena where he will be performing Sept 2...
