I think about it like this. Once Jimmy is gone, the lure of Margaritaville will be fade away. It might take a little time, but at the end of the day we follow this stuff so closely because of Jimmy, not because the Volcano Nachos at the restaurants taste so good (and boy do they taste GOOD). Who's g...

One more thing I left off....if you specify rum, please specify a brand. Different strokes for different folks. What's dark rum to one, might be amber or aged to another. If you specify Myers, or Cruzan Aged...it will help me a lot! Thanks!

Heading to the beach in a few days and figured I'd throw out some feelers to see if any Parrotheads have recipes for good boat drinks/rum punches/etc that I can concoct for the beach and the pool. My days of Captain and Coke are over as I'm trying to fend off the cocktails with soft drink mixers. He...

Raleigh, NC...campus of NC State at Carter Finley stadium sometime in '98. A few very strange events that night: it rained a monsoon jimmy got down on his back and did the gator jimmy took is t-shirt off and tossed it in the crowd at the end (yes, bare chested) jimmy closed with James Taylor's "...

Somebody mentioned Big Top earlier.....but the first time I heard that song I thought "man, he wrote this to be his opener for the rest of his life." It's not a very good opening song, in my opinion, but the lyrics scream "OPEN WITH ME!!! OPEN WITH ME!!!!"...heck, it might as wel...

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations. I think we've got it worked out and the itinerary is as follows. If you've been to any of the following, please feel free to make suggestions where to visit when here. Sat-Tues: St. Maarten/St. Martin (accomodations undecided, suggestions welcome) Wed: Da...

Alrighty, I'm reaching out to fellow Parrotheads. We're planning a week in the Caribbean mid-October. Yes, I know it's hurricane season, but after getting married there many Octobers ago I have no fear! And yes, I can reason with hurricane season. Can anyone recommend a place to go and a place to st...

Scratch that...found a bottle of Appleton something or other (some sort of Amber) in the bar downstairs.....glass full of crushed ice, two shots of rum, fill with coconut water....surpisingly refreshing....but seems like it needs something. Anyone know anything different, please advise. Always up fo...

As was posted here, thank you B'Ners, Jimmy was featured in an article in Men's Journal recently. In that article he talks about he likes "a fine Caribbean rum, coconut water (not the coco-lopez stuff), and lots of ice." Curiosity got the best of me. I found the coconut water, but tell me ...

HOLY MOLY that has to be it....THANK YOU (it is in Florida, right?). Watch LIVE BY THE BAY. During Stars On the Water he says "stop at Alabama Jacks for a cool Corona Beer.....". Someone can close this post. I've got my answer. Man, 5 minutes for an answer. Thank you Parrothead Nation!

Not the Flora-Bama.....but there's a bar I stopped at coming back from Key West to Miami. Was sort of "out-of-the-way" and next to a small river/creek. Jimmy sings about it (maybe in Live by the Bay) somewhere. It's sort of open-air with a roof. it's literally right on the road. What's it ...

thanks for the feedback. question for Layla - about the coconut cream....anything in particular? i tried to make painkillers a few weeks back but the coconut cream was so darn thick that it just sat in clumps in the drink. couldn't stir it in. i may have gone wrong of course. any particular type you...

DING DING DING....Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! That's the one!!!

Man you've got two nice guitars there. The darker one...now that's a beaut! They're both beauties.

HD-18JB I assume?

Thanks for the pictures.

Reading about M-ville coming out with Rum got me thinking. I've always enjoyed the typical Captain and Coke and do enjoy the occasional rum and tonic. But I've been hunting for a long time for a rum drink that doesn't have carbonation. Sure, I can make a hurricane or a rum runner, but they call for ...

there's a previously owned HD-18JB listed at $4100 somewhere out there. I believe it's #404 of the bunch made.

never mind, I think I found it....the HD-18JB I believe.

I checked Martin before posting...neither one is the same as the one he had at Google. The one at Google is also the one from "A lot to Drink About" video at Margaritaville.

To the guitar experts: a) what is the model of the Martin Jimmy is playing at Google? b) I'm sure it's a limited edition and none are available for purchase - is there a model that is the same but just not "personalized" with the palm tree and the label inside? Thanks to you all that answe...

So General Motors comes calling and says "we want you to play a company function for a few hours and we'll compensate you $750K for your time"....you'd say no? I just want to hear someone say that they'd actually say no. I'm not a greedy person, at least I don't think, but I know I'm not a...

Before anyone starts (some already have) jumping on Jimmy, saying that he should know better than to play these gigs, think about something. 99% of us would take the $$ from these guys to play for a couple hours if they offered. It's easy to sit back and criticize, but we all know we'd do the same t...
