Do you ever hear Jimmy on the radio?

In Chicago, wckg's Steve Dahl is playing Jimmy's "Everybody's Talking" at the moment...

Dahl is primarily a drive time talk show, but he plays music on occasion, and I think Jimmy is on pretty regular rotation. (although to tell you the truth, I almost never listen to him.) He always gets Buffett tickets to give away.

Besides "5 O'Clock" burning up the country stations, are any other "j's" playing Buffett these days in your neck of the woods?

Yes!

Both WROR (105.7) and WZLX (100.7) in Boston play Buffett, especially in the summer months. I also just recently stumbled upon a station from the Cape 101.9 (Sorry I have no clue what the call letters are) that does as well, in fact they have a Buffett Buffet every Friday at 5:00 PM!

The Fox in Denver (KRFX 103.5) plays "Cheeseburger" a lot, plus of course M and occassionally Fins and Volcanoe. Nothing beyond those, however

Margaritaville & Come Monday on Magic 104, the Lite Rock station here in OKC... I don't listen to the lite rock station, so I hardly ever hear him on the radio!

Oldies 1300 AM in Morgantown plays Buffett once in a while! I heard Havana Daydreamin on there recently!

In Conn. WEBE 108 will play Buffett during the day but only Margaritaville.
So they do a three play request so I and other Parrottheads always have them play Margaritaville, Soutrhern Cross (CSN), and Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison) so it's almost like being at a concert, you would think the radio station would investigate why people always ask for those three to be played together, but that's the closest we can get to hearing more than Margaritaville.

As I was pulling off the ferry in Martha's Vineyard the week of July 4th I tuned to the local radio station, WMVY, and Nautical Wheelers came on! I knew it was more than good timing.

It happens to be an excellent radio station and think they do broadcast over the internet. It's worth a listen.

Last week our local PBS TV station used Lage Nom Ai as the closing
theme on a local beach scene special. It sounded great.

Interesting
choice... musta been a parrothead involved somewhere there.

I've heard it a couple of times in the stores. Last week I was at the mall and his version of Brown Eyed Girl was playing. I've also heard his version of Mexico. When I was driving home from the Pittsburgh concert last year, a station was playing Bob Roberts Society Band. I thought that was pretty cool.

105.9 in Hartford plays a Buffett song at 5:50 everyday for the rush hour traffic, from what I hear. I'm always at work, so I never get to hear it.

The River 105.9 based somewhere in CT. has a Buffett song every eve @ 5pm!!

They say something great like 'Parrotheads, kick back, put your feet up, get your Margarita ready and off to Paradise...'
And then, every Wed. from 5-6pm they play Buffett and give tix away for the Parrotthead Cruise on the Mark Twain down the Ct. River!!!!!

WMMO (98.9) A light rock station in Orlando plays Jimmy's music quite a bit. Especially in the weeks before his concerts. Maybe because of Margaritaville and the large parrothead club in Orlando. Also, the light jazz station (103.1) plays some of his mellow stuff at night - I've heard Stars Fall on Alabama, Pacing the Cage and some others on that station. A real treat when he comes on the radio!!

one of my good friends is a well known dj down here (106.3), and he is a big PH. so he plays as much buffett as the station allows him.

i heard one particular harbour in WALMART last week, hah!

I recently had to work in Hartford (read Hotfud), CT. They had a station called "The River" that played an hour of uninterupted music from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The last song, every weekday, was the "Parrot Head Paradise" song, a JB tune. While I was there I heard "Miss You So Badly", "No Woman, No Cry" (live version) and "Boat Drinks". That would get my vote for the most unexpected place to have GREAT JB music.

DrunkenIrish · Post by **DrunkenIrish** » July 25, 2003 12:27 am

what I think is cool is how Jimmy crosses all of the lines radio stations usually draw. One day I heard him on an oldies station, a hard rock station, a country station, and then a soft rock (I was there by accident) station. All in the same day!

I mean, it was all Margaritaville, but hey, it's still cool
