If my memory is correct, Poco was co-founded by Jim Messina, he of the earlier supergroup Buffalo Springfield (along with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, et.al.) and also part of the duo Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins -- saw them in concert in 1975 and saw Loggins solo in 1992. I remember folks ...

Marshall Tucker Band doesn't seem to have the respect today that many other founding Southern rock bands do, which is too bad because I always felt they were under-rated. Have heard them in concert twice and spent awhile talking with original band member George McCorkle (who had written "Fire o...

I know there's a thread on here about "Surf Music" but what about "Beach Music" -- any fans out there? What we call "Beach Music" on the coasts of Carolina and Virginia is "shagging" music (and I'm not talking about shagging a'la' Austin Powers)! The Shag is t...

I saw CSN ... & Y! ... at an outdoor show at my college in August 1974. They put on a helluva show, opened by Elvin Bishop and Jesse Colin Young. I also saw Nash & Crosby perform together at another college up the road in the winter of '74-'75. John Bonham sat in with them. I especially reme...

I think I heard the song you're talking about on the radio while driving through the keys a couple of years ago. I recall some lines: "Not tonight, I have a haddock" and "doing something for the halibut."
Never did catch the name or the singer....

Some may recall that Ed Bradley gave the eulogy at Peets Buffett's (Jimmy's mom's) funeral. And of course, Walter did the intro for the Beach House on the Moon tour. Good catch! I do think I have heard it mentioned that JB and Ed are friends..... ANd lets face it... everyone wants a little piece of...

It's an interesting article but I wish the WSJ would have explored the business savvy similarities of Jimmy and Warren Buffett, rather than the name/possible family connection. Also, the Page One illustration of Jimmy in the WSJ is based on how he looked about 15 years ago when he still had a little...

There are all kind of rules that most "artists" call for. Johnny Winter has a clause that if anybody touches the artist when he is walking to the stage to play, he will not play and gets paid in full. Some bands call for no green M&M's. A lot of crap like that. They are stars, so they...

Great story! Thanks!

I saw it when it came out, have the soundtrack on vinyl. Me too! Saw it in the theater when it was released and also have the album on vinyl. Shows Buffett performing on stage for a couple of songs near the end of the film. From what I recall, there's no footage of him off stage.... Also, Linda Ron...

Yes, folks, Little Feat recorded at Shrimpboat Sound in November with Mac McAnally producing. I ran in to Mac and Bill Payne walking down Duval Street on the evening of Nov. 24, and saw them again at breakfast in Pepe's restaurant on Nov. 26 with more band members. After breakfast they strolled acro...

I was at a corporate function once where some geriatric semi-Dixieland-style band was playing music in the mode of Lawrence Welk, and I couldn't contain myself and yelled out, "Freebird!" Our corporate auditor doubled over with laughter (and it ain't that easy getting an auditor to laugh, ...

And of course, lest we forget, it was ex-Eagle Timothy B. Schmidt who coined the term "Parrot Head!"

Now, I'd like to read that interview the reporter wrote. Anybody have a link to it???

Yes, it is an under-appreciated album. Perhaps Jimmy should perform some of its songs more...

"Hot Water" is an album that I didn't like much when it was released, but it does sound better with age. My personal favorite has always been "That's What Living is to Me," which Buffett once played solo acoustically on Whoopi Goldberg's long ago talk show in the early '90s. I al...

Back in September '91 at a private press party on Pleasure Island at Disney World, we took close-up photos of Buster Poindexter dancing toward us in the street leading a conga line and singing "Hot, Hot Hot!"
Ah, memories.....

Hey, you guys are all youngsters .... I'm a '54 horse, still galloping along the beach!

Prine wrote one of the best lines of any song ever:
"There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes...."

Ok, if Bill Payne's touring with Jimmy, and other people are saying Utley's not having fun during shows--- anyone else see where I think this is going.... By the way, saw Bill Payne with Mac McAnally during Thanksgiving week in Key West. Saw them together walking down Duval the night before Thanksg...
