Woke up this morning to the thought that two months from today I'll be 40 (not that I'm dwelling or anything....) I need suggestions on the best way to celebrate. Possibilities so far include a quick jaunt to somewhere hot (Sipping a pain killer in Virgin Gorda is my personal favorite but probably ...

They were down in the carribean and JB boarded their boat, had some laughs and played some songs for them...totally impromptu, it seemed. I've never watched the show before, but my Tivo did a search for "Buffett" and recorded it. I was wondering about Tivo. I just got mine, and I did the ...

I would include some books by James A. Michener:

1. Caribbean
2. Six Days in Havana

If you are inclined to go outside the region, I would include:

3. Tales of the South Pacific
4. Hawaii
5. South Sea Story (I think Donovan's reef is loosely based on it).

Great idea, by the way.

Maybe this quote may help too. We watched the weather all through that awful night, and kept an eye on the barometer, to be prepared for the least change. There was not the slightest change recorded by the instrument, during the whole time. Words cannot describe the comfort that that friendly, hope...

I thought it was weird that the first song he played (2/17/05) was "Time Loves a Hero". The crowd seemed a bit confused. To my knowledge, he never played it again.

"Of course, now I have to go read everything written by Hermann Wouk to figure it out" Wouldn't be a bad idea. Great writer. Funny you should mention that. I just read the first 50 pages of Don't Stop the Carnival. I may not get my answer, but I will enjoy searching for it. A lot of fun s...

I know what a barameter is. I know what soup is. Why does he say Barometer is my soup? I really like the song, not to mention the album. Someone asked me what it meant, and I didn't have a real good answer. From CoBO's literary references: "The term Barometer Soup was first mentioned to Jimmy ...

As I listened to the concert replay last week, I heard Jimmy sing "Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling." It struck me as a cautionary tale and a reminder to be very careful when we try to "cram lost years into five or six days." My question is this - what other lyrics from ...

Okay, I need to clarify--I wrote that after a 30 minute discussion with a classmate in which I was told "Jimmy Buffett is the reason America has gone to hell, and it's people like him that will rot in hell for their lifestyle, just like (and I quote) the gays" and other kinds of ridiculou...

I dont try to convert people.... more tickets for Parrot Heads.... http://www.smileys.ws/sm/grinning/00000039.gif I agree. I admit that I recommend people like Jack Johnson to my friends, but I never try to proselytize with JB. He makes enough money, and I find that people have preconceived notions...

If anyone reading this needs a place to ride out the storm in the Dallas area, send me a PM... I started this thread last week. After I posted it, I packed my computer in plastic, and got ready for the storm. I am just now reading through some of the responses. Four Play - I really appreciate the o...

Houston opened its doors, hearts, and wallets to the folks from New Orleans. Now we about to face a direct hit from a category 5 hurricane. To make matters worse, Jimmy has not been here in almost two years. Yes we need FEMA and the Red Cross. We also need hope. Jimmy, come back. We need you now mor...

I would suggest "On and On". It has "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" on it, which JB plays in concert these days. Really good lyrics on the entire album. Most people are picking up "In Between Dreams" because it is the more current album. It is fantastic as well. I chall...

There was madness in any direction, at any hour... You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; w...

Dean (and any other Vegas experts), I can't stand it. I was going to miss Vegas this time, but my girlfriend and I are now planning on being there for the show on the 29th. My question is, how is Halloween in Vegas? It's Monday night and I was thinking of sticking around. Wild parties or nothing spe...
