Hey Guys,
In about 3-4 weeks I'll be leaving for 2 weeks of vacation and I'm looking for some new cool music to listen to. I'm looking for the Island/Beach type music like Buffett. Something upbeat perferably.
I saw someone earlier on a thread about who to see after Jimmy Buffett retires
if that ever happens, hopefully not, but anyway the only recommendation I saw was for a Jim Morris and I think he's alright but he has that beach/island type music.
Any Other Suggestions???

WOW! that's quite a list! I never knew about MigrationRadio or TropicalDreams.net -- someone must have kept me out of the loop or something. Anyway, thanks a lot and I'll be checking them out. If anyone has any other artist they forgot then please fill me in. Thanks,
Steve

Don't forget www.stsomewhere.com and www.barefootman.com . The Barefoot man is so tropical and funny. I love his song "Big Panty Woman" . St. Somewhere's last cd has a great version of "Southern Cross" with Fingers.
