I'm sad to report that the record sale was a total bust as far as picking up anything Buffett that was of good quality. I came away with absolutely nothing. The covers were crap; the vinyl was crap. I went next door to the record store and all of the good items were for sale at regular store price, ...

The good news is that there were plenty of vinyls, cd's, cassettes and even some 8 tracks to sort through for the sale next Saturday. The bad news is that I won't be able to see which Buffett albums are available and buy them until next Friday afternoon. All of the sorting that went on today was in ...

Many thanks to each of you. I'll pick up everything I can find and get back to you. Hopefully there will be some great albums that I will be sorting through, and the price for albums has already been advertised as $1 or less each! I hope they hold true to this. It should be a great day!

Geez, how bland is that? No history; no housekeepers; no loveseats or sisters. :cry: I guess it really is true: you get what you pay for. $900 for so much history behind an autographed gift from one enormously famous musician to another makes such a better story, doesn't it? I'm thinkin' that $900 r...

Try to at least get it signed by a housekeeper who can keep a poker face when she says she worked for Jimmy. Then you could put a $900 reserve on the item listing. :wink:

I'm guessing FarsideCobb was referring to CMT's Video of the Year Award last night. Bama Breeze was nominated, fans voted on CMT's site, and Carrie Underwood was the winner.

JB on Vinyl

I'm a volunteer who will be sorting through about 15,000 vinyl albums this Sunday to organize them for a public sale to benefit a radio station. I'm wondering how many folks here still collect vinyl, and is there anything I should be looking for in particular? Being a volunteer, I'll have first opti...

The videos are from the VHS called Jimmy Buffett: Tales From Margaritavision. It was released in 2000, with Jimmy giving explanations and the history of each video and song. It wasn't released on DVD, but you can try to pick up a used copy of the VHS on Amazon. That's where I got mine for about $7.

$900????????????? Jesus, Mary and Joseph! That settles it. I'm going to Jimmy's old house in Snowmass tomorrow and dig up some dirt, pick up some branches, scrape some paint off the front door, find a few rocks, and start listing them all on eBay! Not only will I get affidavits from the big bucks a...

Okay, before we take him down, who wants to email him and ask what the reserve is set at? We could start a pool here. My guess is $500.

Next?

I was curious and checked the guy's feedback, too. Very strange that this is the first item he has ever sold, and his purchases are too far back to see what his habits are. ("Stop thinking like a cop, dammit!") I noticed one of the earlier sellers to him deals in autographs though. As for ...

As a part time web designer, I too thought of MySpace as a place for kids and mainly teens to hang out, express themselves and be creative. Then I saw how many musicians are on MySpace and found some great music to listen to! I got hooked. I've done a few MySpace pages for clients as well as a coupl...

I found a few things not quite right enough to make me question it: the book was first released in 1994. #1 - why a second edition and not a first edition? #2 - why was Savannah the only child mentioned in the inscription? Granted, Cameron was adopted in 1994, and may not have been in the family yet...

If I had been paying attention and more awake, I would have noticed the title of the thread to know which video you were asking about. I watched the intro Jimmy did for Take Another Road, with his explanation of how the song and video came about. He asks himself, "Let's see.... anybody in here;...

Are you asking about the actor in Homemade Music? The one who is most recognizable is Judge Reinhold. The video was made in 1988, directed by Jeff Stein. As Jimmy explains it, he had been making a few music videos, some directed by Michael Nesmith (great guy! one of the Monkees.) But the videos were...

I bought Sirius for my car, only because they have Radio Margaritaville, and the channel never gets changed. I do still play CDs now and then though. If there was a merge, it would be nice if the subscriber could choose their preferred stations from both.

Thanks for the welcome, "Aspen zip", for lack of another name to call you by. Were you at the Belly Up for either of the last two shows? I was there in 2005, but missed last year due to knee surgery. Love the Gypsies story and can picture every image that happened. I've been in Jimmy's for...

John Denver autobiography gift to JB

A friend sent me a link to an item listed on eBay. Supposedly, it is a personally signed gift from John Denver to Jimmy Buffett; John Denver's autobiography. There is a long story from the seller as to how he came to be the owner of this book, which is now at http://cgi.ebay.com/JOHN-DENVER-SIGNED-I...
