I think he could do it, but it would feature his acoustic ballads. It'd be a very different show and I think it could definitely happen. He's done these types of shows in hotel lobbies!

Great list! I wanted to include "Irene, Goodnight" and "Souvenirs" from the Margaritaville Café albums, but we had a time constraint of 1 hour each! Here is part 2 for your listening pleasure: https://www.mixcloud.com/thepaulleslie/beach-balladeer-the-ballads-of-jimmy-buffett-rad...

And here is part 2:

Before it's all said and done, I would like it if JB would do one tour as a solo artist. Just Buffett and an acoustic guitar.

Here is a link to part 1, where it can be streamed on-demand. Part 2 coming soon.

That's a great list! Some of those we played and some of them we didn't. In some cases it was very hard to decide. For example, from "Fruitcakes" - do you select "Lone Palm" or "Love in the Library"? Hmmm... I liked producing this radio special with Jeff Pike because it...

These were broadcast on the radio 10 years ago. Especially meaningful because Walter Cronkite and Jesse Winchester are no longer with us.

I love the song lists you guys came up with...some we chose and some we didn't! By the way, "NOBODY SPEAKS TO THE CAPTAIN NO MORE" is my absolute favorite Jimmy Buffett song. We didn't play that one, and I hope one day soon I can tell you why we didn't... Jimmy Buffett can certainly croon.

My pleasure!

I have had the opportunity to interview all of the co-writers of this songs-- Michael Utley, Marshall Chapman and the great Will Jennings. Will wrote most of the lyrics with a little work from Jimmy. The melody was mostly Utley's. They were all talking and Will said "I am Johnny Mango, and I kn...

His career has definitely gotten bigger.

However it has definitely lost a lot of it's soul.

Yeah, we all know the only person who should be allowed to make money on planet earth is Jimmy Buffett.

I actually think Eng's book was superior to Buffett's travelogue.

I don't need to read pages and pages of Jimmy telling us what is in his back pack.

Print out the entries to this forum topic along with your book.

Some celebrities will not sign something without personalizing it for the reasons of resale listed here.

The other thing is that Rolling Stone knows who their readers are.

I'm just glad you're getting John B. Sebastian's name out there!
