I first visited there in '89 when development was still in the discussion stages. Back then, the local kids still attended the old school house where Pat Conroy taught. It was like stepping back in time.

Happy Newz Year!

"Out on Daufuskie Island the bulldozers bury the past," Jimmy wrote in "The Prince of Tides," his nod to Pat Conroy and the South Carolina Lowcountry. Well, as I sit here across the river from Daufuskie Island tonight, I realize that although development has come to Daufuskie, it...

I actually think he's about to enter a new phase. BH has a few more JB writing credits than past efforts (albeit with co-writers) and the album has a slightly different sound, more mature. I would not be surprised if he decides to finally shake up his concert format of the past few years and give us...

Happy Birthday! We learned to be cool from you!

Hey, the Parrothead Tent is big enough for all people of all persuasions. We all need to get past divisive politics in this country and respect others' opinions, even if we don't agree with them.

The song is a fitting coda to "Tryin' to Reason with Hurricane Season" ....

The reveiwers probably mention his baldness because some folks reading the reviews (as well as some of the reviewers themselves) still picture Buffett as having long hair and a mustache!

Sorry to hear of your uncle.
A song I've always liked which may be appropriate is "Incommunicado."

Ah, Alabama Jack's on Card Sound Road ... British writer Jonathan Raban mentions a vist there in his book "Hunting Mister Heartbreak," a travelogue across America. He ends the book with his visit to the Keys and Key West. The book was published in 1989 so it describes the Keys the way I re...

Recently had eye surgery and was semi-conscious for some of it. I remember James Taylor music playing in the operating room but don't recall any Buffett. I've heard that some surgeons listen to Buffett while they operate. Anyone have that experience?

Definitely TATS, plus the video was made in my old stomping grounds in SC.

The Huffington Post continues an interview with Bob Dylan by Bill Flanagan in which Dylan cites his favorite songwriters. He mentions Jimmy Buffett first.: B.Flanagan: Who are some of your favorite songwriters? B.Dylan: Buffett I guess. Lightfoot. Warren Zevon. Randy. John Prine. Guy Clark. Those ki...

I just started following you. "DailyNewz."

I got the same message.
April Fool's!!!

Back in '87 we were on the Conch Train in Key West when the guide exclaimed, "And there goes Jimmy Buffett!" pointing to a guy on a bike. We could only see the fellow from behind and it did look like Bubba but it probably wasn't. Also in (I'm trying to remember, February 2002 or 2003) Jack...

I once lived in a town that was so small that the 7-11 was only open from 8 'til 10!

Over all, I'd recommend JT's Covers album. The best songs are the aforementioned "Seminole Wind," "Wichita Lineman" and "On Broadway."
"Wichita Lineman" is my favorite. I prefer it to Glen Campbell's original.

A colleague at work asked me the other day if I'd seen Jimmy this year. The answer, sadly, is no.
Jimmy, we're waiting for some Florida shows this winter!!!

Well, as the philosopher JT sez, "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time." So, we gotta enjoy where we are when we are there. Yes, I'd rather be on the beach in the Keys right now but I'm living near the Ga.-Fla. border where the weather stays temperate much of the time. Among ...
