An interesting article on Ukulele phenom Jake Shimabukuro
http://starbulletin.com/2005/06/13/features/story2.html

Buffett sings high praises for uke star joining tour
I can't wait until when Jake walks out onstage and sees 26,000 screaming people," Buffett says from Toronto, where he performs tonight.

For the upcoming concerts, Buffett and the Coral Reefers are reworking a Dave Matthews' song for Shimabukuro to join in.

We'll feature Jake on a couple songs with the acoustic section, some ensemble stuff with the entire band, then a duet with percussionist Ralph MacDonald," Buffett said.

Buffett returns to Hawaii in October to finalize plans for his One Particular Harbor restaurant in Waikiki and is considering a concert "in a small Maui venue."

Plus, "Maybe when Jake goes back to Japan to perform he'll let me open for him there," Buffett said. "I would love that."

OPH restaurant? Like you said, I wonder if this will be a chain, or just a one-time shot? I guess, as Captain P points out, if one store does well, they will open up another. . .

I did like his quote, "I don't want anything because I'm too rich to care about that," Buffett said.

True, true. Mr. Buffett, from your phans, you are welcome!!

I guess if we would have all read that article, we would have known Jimmy was going to do a Dave Matthews song with Mr. shima Buckaroo.

Good article.

Haven't heard anything, but here's my guess: There is already a chain in Hawaii called "Cheeseburger In Paradise". They had the name before Jimmy grabbed the trademark, so they are allowed to keep it. Maybe the plan is to open something similar to the Outback CIP's, but with a different name, so as to not create problems...

Seriously though, that Jake guy was really good. I was pretty "blase" about it to begin with, til he played on PLAF (at Nissan), and then LITERALLY chills went down my spine!
