I can't narrow down who I'd like to hear him with but I'd love for it to be down at Lu Lu's at sunset. Chillin' with the family. LOL Wow, great choices everybody, but JB solo or as a duo at LuLu's........perfect!!! Can't believe I didn't think of that scenario! And LULU can come out at the end and ...

Not all the musicians in Buffetts band are well off finanicially. I bet over 50% of the regualrs on this board make more. Good thing you are not betting! Everyone on stage with JB makes very nice $$$$. As for who makes more on the BN board............ There is a huge difference with how much money ...

As much as we hate to hear this, artists have always been the ones to get screwed, and they're the ones with the talent and product. How many of you buy as many (or any) cd's as you did 15 years ago?, 5 years ago?. This is the reason ticket prices went up. Every time you lift music off the internet,...

The Gillette show was pretty bad. The parking lot was great though. One of the 1997 Great Woods shows, I think the Havana Daydreaming tour Buffett seemed to be very subdued on stage, sitting on a bar stool a lot. The next day the newspaper review of the show revealed Buffett was sick and almost can...

Re: The Key West Effect

You must, absolutely *must* listen to Michael McCloud's song, "Just Came Down for the Weekend (25 years ago)." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh9R1XUE1zA Any idea where I can get the lyrics/chords to this? I've gotta learn it! But, back to the topic...I've never been to K.W., but I know o...

We've been going down there 2 times a year for 12 years. My wife and I always say if we had gone down there 20 years ago pre kids we would never have come back. It's my favorite place in the world. But it is changing, in some ways drastically. No more Denis Pharmacy. No more PT's late night. No more...

You Had to be There back in '76. I bought all the albums after that. The only album I don't have is Off to See the Lizard, which is one of the first CD's I ever got.

I don't think he has enough mainstream appeal, or even recognition, to be the halftime performer either. I dont' know about that.The more I think about it, he has much more recognition with a younger audience than Tom Petty. If you're going to use an older entertainer, ( and they use older entertai...

The before is the Buffett I relate to. That is my favorite party period of my life. I wasn't dressing up to look like Buffett, I just looked and lived like that.

The 80's drum machine production for one. It is a commercial for the america's cup. But this is all just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Even though I thought 5'oclock was a really clever and fun song when it came out, if one had to go this would be it. Although I'm glad Buffett won an award with it I always thought he got way too much credit for the song. It's a guest appearance for crying out loud. Cheesburger and Fins aren't great...

There are some "covers" I really like that Buffett did on studio albums. Mexico, It's MyJob, If it All Falls Down, even Savahanna Fare Thee Well. I don't want to get into the whole "what's a cover" argument, but when he just brings out something like Glory Days or On the Road Aga...

I never understood how this overblown piece of AM radio crap could ever be mistaken for anything by Jimmy Buffett. Easy, many of us including Mr. Buffett himself grew up on...
