"COBO" What a hilarious throwback! I love it.

So this morning a song came on that I had never heard before, "Night and Morning" by David Francey. I listed to it and immediately thought of Jimmy and that it seemed like a song I would love to hear him cover. Then it occurred to me, that is what I think I will miss the most. It won't be ...

Some of the other books I have read that were referenced by him: "Wind, Sand and Stars" (which is freaking awesome); Far Tortuga (mediocre), I am going to do "Vagabond's House" and then "Floridays" both by D. Blanding. I have never seen "Adventures in Paradise"...

Thank you to this website and everyone who built it and keeps it going.
I am grateful for this community. It is a place where I know that I am not alone in my love for JB. And that is something I will forever appreciate.

Definitely liked this one.

"Mailbox Money" meets "Big Rig".

I noticed that too.
I like that he keeps his stuff private. He was in a hospital for 10 days and no one said anything. That is cool.

The GW date does make perfect sense. And since a GW and Jones Beach would be local, along with maybe Bethel Woods and PNC (both of which have T/Th in August open), I hope he is well enough to shoot for something like that. Gives him two months to rest up.

During the first Montessori benefit show, which was just him and his guitar, we tried to get him to NOT play Margaritaville. He was shocked. He said "is this the beginning of the end?" It was funny. He played it anyway.

Whatever the health issue is, there is no doubt in my mind he has some of the best doctors in the freaking world treating him. There is also no doubt in my mind that he will be back on stage at some point it in time. And now, gosh darn it, I also feel that there is no doubt I am going to have to go ...

I highly doubt that the show sold out today. I would be shocked. And as for the Platinum stuff, who in their right mind would pay some of the prices that are being asked? And how are there no resales available? Something does not add up. It makes no sense.

Most of the venues in Northeast that he tends to play already have a bunch of acts lined up. Tours do not get put together at the last minute and everyone will want as much time as possible to sell tickets and get merchandise ready.

I am really starting to wonder if there will be a tour at all.

Yep, seems a little weird. I also would have expected some posts on IG about the band rehearsing. The IG account has been really quiet.

Jimmy has a deep connection to The Eagles and I suspect that is why he did those opening shows a few years back. Jones Beach still has Tues & Thurs open in August and PNC has a few of them as well. But definitely no Sat at either. Mansfield has 8/12. Bethel Woods has most Tues/Thurs open. Maybe ...

You said he doesn't need anyone to tour with, but followed it up by saying Jimmy doesn't sell out shows anymore. That's exactly why he would consider a co-headline tour. What I mean is that he does not sell out the venues that he traditionally plays. There are hundreds of other venues he can play t...

Kenny did a full summer tour last year and then went into his "I Go Back Tour" which runs through the end of May. I can't see him spending May - Sept on the road. And why would Jimmy want to tour with another act? He has talked about how he has his business end of touring running like a we...

It may not be Jimmy holding things up. How many of his shows sell out? If I am a venue, I am not giving him a prime date and at this point may be waiting to hear from other acts before confirming Buffett for a weeknight. Even if just one or two venues do this to him, it can screw up a whole tour. Th...

The guy is getting older and so are members of the band. But I don't think he'll ever stop or change it up what he does. The entire Margaritaville empire is based on him and him alone. I don't think he's got the staying power of Elvis, Marley, Hendrix... Once he is done, I think M'ville will have a ...

Has he ever played Jones Beach on Labor Day weekend? I don't recall. I'd be shocked if Jones Beach booked him for that Saturday. But it would be freaking awesome and fits perfectly with the two day hangover I would have.
