Might coincide with Mishka's April east coast tour dates.

Fins Up!
Cap'n Bobby

Mishka announced on his Facebook page that he is booking east coast tour dates in April. The dates will be announced soon. His most recent album, "The Journey," which came out in November, was published by Mailboat Records. So, I'm wondering if we're about to get east coast tour dates for ...

Last year, the Fort Lauderdale show was not announced till after Christmas. I'm sure there will be dates. It would be extremely rare for him to skip FLA. The question is when the shows will be, February or March. Merry Christmas, Cap'n Bobby PS It's about 80 degrees today in Miami and we're going Pa...

I've wondered if JB has expanded his empire beyond what it can sustain and if there will be an inevitable collapse. For example, the Margaritaville game was a colossal failure. The New Orleans Margaritaville simply could be relocating or restocking. Or this could be a sign of a company that has expa...

#4 on the Billboard charts according to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers Facebook page. I really like this album. In the modern era of Buffett's music--compared to what he has done since 1990--I would put this album up there with "License to Chill" and "Barometer Soup." Fins U...

I like "Too Drunk to Karaoke." Have from the start. "I'm No Russian," in my opinion, is a hot mess. I like the story, but the rapping and the 80s-style special effects are dreadful. I could delete "Russian" from the album and have 14 songs that I really like. Fins Up! C...

Wasn't sure about this song the 1st time I heard it, but I've grown to like it. Like the steel drums and the story. Captures the quirkiness of FLA in a Carl Hiaasen way. Still can't figure out how Earl died, which I do think is a flaw in the song. Have it down to 2 possibilities: car accident or sui...

Thanks for posting these. I took a look at the set list for the show. Thought the list was good: landfall, Knees of My Heart, 4 songs from the new album (including Tides and, as part of the second encore, Soulfully. My wife is from Wisconsin. I'll download the show later today, and we'll listen to i...

Jahfins, When you have this much conflict with so many people, when do you say that the problem is you? Cap'n Bobby Looks like you'd probably benefit from firin' up a fatty, poppin' open a cold one and relaxin' a bit too. You know, Jahfins, I think your opinions are informed. I think you know more ...

Sigh......tell Jahfin we said hello when your wasting away again with him in bannedfrombuffettnewsville. Banned for showing that I indeed have a sense a sense of humor? Tell that to Nighthawk. I think he's up to something like six bannings at this point. Sigh I guess I just don't get the bitterness...

I like the album. I would give this 3.5 stars out of 5. I like every song on the album except "I'm No Russian," which I think is a hot mess. "Einstein Was a Surfer" and "Rue de la Guitar" are already two of my favorite Buffett songs. "Somethin' 'Bout a Boat" a...

[quote="Rabbitz"]Well, Well, Well.

I hope this puts some of the doubters in their place.

Agreed!

Although rabbitz stew can be delicious. Just saying.

Cheers!

Happy for you, Funkhouse! Though I'm still not completely clear on what happened to the first eight Funkhouses. Was at MOTM 20; "Nautical Wheelers" was one of my two favorite songs that afternoon. So what do you think is JB's handle here on BuffettNews? Happy for you, brother! Cap'n Bobby

Great show! Listened to it live on RM. Just what I needed on a thirsty Thursday at the end of a shitty week. While Bubba played nothing outside of the box, I loved the acoustic work and JB as a bar singer. When he stops playing large venues, I hope he continues playing bars, his roots, who he really...

According to hollywoodmargaritaville.com, the Johnson Street garage demolition is almost complete. The only thing still standing is the old stairwell. They hope to begin laying a foundation soon. Here is a link to the photographs: http://www.hollywoodmargaritaville.com/2013/08/johnson-street-garage-...

Art Donovan passed away today at the age of 89. Art, a Baltimore Colts defensive tackle, was elected to the 1950s All-Decade Team and was an integral part of the Colts back-to-back championships in '58 and '59. As good a player as Art was, he was equally known for his sense of humor. Sail on, Fatso....

I like the song, a fun drinking song, and I enjoyed the video. It looked like they had a good time doing it. This song is going to be a hit on country radio.

As of Monday, July 22, the most recent development in the Hollywood Margaritaville Beach Resort is that demolition has begun on the Johnson Street parking garage to clear the way for construction. Hollywoodmargaritaville.com is keeping a blog of the progress. Its most recent update includes a slide ...

Thanks for posting this. I especially enjoyed the segment on the manatees. JB was very knowledgeable on the topic. That was some hat he was wearing, a reminder that the 80s were a bad decade for hats, the era of the trucker hat. I also liked the analogy he drew between sailing and touring, that it's...
