Two tunes that come to mind, have harp parts that "Fingers" can excell on. They are : I'm a Loser, by John Lennon and Like a Rolling Stone, by "Zimmy". Of course the arrangements must be Buffatized with parts for all the Reefers. Tempo's should be changed as well. We don't want k...

Many thanks for the photos. I recorded the gig, and now have a visual to go with my tape. Also, nice touch on the website update. Great photo of Jerry Jeff, "Buff", & G.E. in action.

It goes without saying, I love all the old classics. However, in comparison the newer music in my opinion, is far better. Nostalic no, but great tunes. Far Side of the World, I'm gonna wear out, I've programmed my cd players to repeat that song over and over. The albums from Fruitcakes forward are j...

Thanks "Pirate". I checked the Margaritaville Radio schedule on Monday and JJW wasn't listed as yet, consequently, I would have missed it. If it's anything like the Austin show a couple of months ago, kicking back with a few cold ones and listening, should make for an enjoyable evening.

My sincere thanks to you Jim, for all you do. My only regret is that I only recently came aboard, consequently I'm not privy to all you've done, but thanks anyway. Also, thanks to the many enthusiastic PH contributors.

Krispy Kreme Grand Opening

Lucy "Lulu" Buffett attended the grand opening of the West Palm Beach location. Read about it in Palm Beach Post: KrispyKreme off to a sweet start . The early risers were hoping to see singer Jimmy Buffett, a Palm Beach resident and investor in the local shop. He missed the opening, but se...

You're probably correct. My apology, thought it was a cute tale relevant to the post and PHism. G.M.,Jr.

A man after my own heart. I must share the following pirate tale with the PH's that read this board. Back in 1981, while honeymooning with my third wife (16 yr.s my jr.) on Martha's Vineyard, I got my ear pierced and sported a ring for a few months. Due to business reasons and the need to support my...

Tuesday, 07/23/2002 is the grand opening date of the JB investment at 2031 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. in West Palm Beach, Florida. This location is only about 20 minutes away from Buffett's Palm Beach residence. Being a sub contractor, I've visited the site on business and observed its rapid progress. T...

Also, thanks. However, JB is a bit too modest in the article. He has written and/or collaborated on some truly great tunes. There are many times though, where you have to really listen a few times over to realize what great work they are. In a lot of cases I've found that they are so pleasing to the...
