Nautical Wheelers story

Post by PA PAR8 HED »

While on the Trails of Margaritaville, Tim told the story behind Nautical Wheelers.

I am sure I heard Jimmy tell the same story on a live concert recording. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I am looking for that recording if anyone knows what show it is from.

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

Seems like there was something on the video Tales from MargaritaVision. Not sure about live concert cds.

WOW, has been a llong time since I have posted here.

As the story goes, the Nautical Wheelers were a square dancing group in Key West around the time Jimmy was playing for beer in Captain Tony's. They use to meet at a acertain time of the month and do their square dancing under army surplus tents.

Do you think they are still around?

I lived in KW for 3 years in the early 70's, and that's the way I remember it. Don't know if they're still around or not.
