Am I losing my mind? Any help would be appreciated as I plan my drive into KW in just 8 days to celebrate my 40th!
Seems to me that was from Rag Top Day on the 80's video "Live By the Bay". Great version of a great song in a great setting. When are they going to build a lake around the Smirnoff Center in Dallas?

Alabama Jack's and Holiday Isle are must-see stops for the drive down A1A.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

Ragtop Day from Live by the Bay was it. Thanks Four Play, I knew someone here could help!

My biggest fear is that when I die, my wife will sell all my Buffett stuff for what I said I paid for it!

Well, we're leaving next Wednesday for my dream vacation. And thanks to all you, we know where to stop along the way.

One last question. Does anyone have some good directions to Key West from Miami? I have some a friend gave me, but I was wondering if anyone had some special routes to avoid traffic and congestion around Miami?

Thanks! :D

Not the most but driven by events I would say. Latest one was Lone Palm while we were in San Juan.
When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.

Do miss Jared!!!! Unless you want him to make dirty comments about your wife/girlfriend. Go to Irish kevins after 10pm when he's done and either kevin or someone else takes the stage.

Authentic Full Moon Saloon Ts

Post by longlosttees »

Hey Guys. We live and work and play here in Key West and recently started a line of "Old Key West" Ts. A couple of them may be of interest here, not sure. First, with Vic Latham's blessing, we have redone the old Full Moon Saloon (where Jimmy often played and partied with Vic and the rest of the Moon gang). Google Vic Latham and you'll see some cool stories of him and Jimmy.

The other one is the original campaign sign from Capt. Tony's successful run for Mayor of Key West in '89.

Certainly do not intend this as a spammy post...just thought this would be an appreciative audience.

Best from Key West,
Markham and the Long Lost Ts Gang
