Caroline Jones on Come Monday
Listening to the broadcast of the Mn. show the other night on Margaritaville and she butchers Come Monday IMHO. The song is too good to let that happen to it.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
Others may disagree, but I don't care for her voice, especially on this song.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
Having her as an opening act is cool, and maybe 1 song to join the band is fine, but beyond that I think it's a bit much. I'd rather Jimmy make more of a time allotment for solo acoustic encores.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
I think she kills it on Coast of marasilles especially on harmonica.

Fingers will NEVER be 'well' once diagnosed with Alzheimers.
Enjoy your next concert.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
I met Caroline at a meet & greet at the Orlando show and she seems like a really nice person but I don't care for her music. Her father is a billionaire hedge funder so maybe by having her on the tour Jimmy is just doing a favor for one of his 1%er buddies.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Yeah. Makes me really sad about Fingers. I heard about him years ago when that came out. I actually saw something on BW forum that his brother was posting asking for money to help him out years ago.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
She’s alright as a female voice on Trip Around the Sun, and she’s a fine opening act; however, I’d have to agree that it’s not a good fit for Come Monday. It also deprives Jimmy of the chance to do the whole “It’s so nice to be in <location> again!” bit, and I like the local shoutouts.
On an unrelated note, I hate how Jimmy has gone all in on the super lazy climax to Volcano ... literally EVERY show, it’s “I’ll take <location> on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday!” We get it, you love telling us what day your concert is on, Jimmy. We used to get more unique ones like:
“I’d rather land where I can see” leading to “Cincinnati’s fine with me!”
“Big high damn” leading to “put me down where this all began!”
“Buzzard’s Bay” leading to “put me down in Atlanta G-A!”
Dumb thing to get worked up about, sure, but he’s a creative guy and the current formula is stale.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
Saw last night's show in Camden and thought she was really good as an opening act and on "Trip Around the Sun," but it felt odd to bring her out three different times during Buffett's set. If she's going to guest, bring her out for 1-2 songs back-to-back.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
The benefit show in Florida had the vibe killed by bringing out one singer, playing a song then another singer then back to the first singer.
I just wish Jimmy would go all in with a two or three day margaritaville festival.....he plays everyday but headlines just once...then the other days could be Chesney, brown, or some other friend/fan headlining that night. So many Jimmy proteges now just get it done.

Re: Caroline Jones on Come Monday
She is beautiful. But I do agree that, instead of bringing her out 2-3 times during the show, just do 2-3 songs back to back. Problem solved.
