I also like Beachhouse on the Moon, especially Lucky Stars. Sometimes when you only have that one CD to listen to, it becomes a part of you. Try just listening to that one CD over and over and over. I didn't have anything but You Had To BE There for a long, long time. I listened to it over and over....

"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 a...

The drinks at the Jamaica Margaritaville in Ocho Rios were good. The one in the airport not so much so, but the atmosphere was nice. Going to New Orleans next week, will report on that restaurant when I get back! I've only been to one CIP, but the drinks were excellent...as was the food and the pre...

Does anyone know how the established CIPs are faring? I notice on Outback's annual statement that the CIPs are listed as "other" joint ventures, and the numbers are not broken out. I listened online to their last report meeting and there was a very positive report for the CBIPs so far. Th...

Re: Jimmy Buffett & Outback

I don't know if this was mentioned before but I thought I'd write it down. We were at the Orlando Margaritaville last week and the bartender told us about the Cheeseburger In Paradise and how Jimmy got involved with it. If anybody has any other info. please let me know, thanks!! It was great to see...

Count me in too. Wouldn't it be even better than travel channel? I would love to see some live cams at the Margaritaville and CIP locations. It would be so cool to SEE happy hour at Margaritaville New Orleans every Friday. And, yes, WE old folks would enjoy a live show in the comforts of home. It su...

Matt, I was listening to the show again and I didn't realize that Jimmy actually says

HULA HULA right after One Particular Harbour.

Is that where you got that? Duh! :oops: :wink:

So, the best chance to get a re-issue is for Jimmy to purchase the original master for one cd. Then he can have it recorded/repackaged, etc by Mailboat in a fashion similar to the album. I guess he could even sell a vinyl of that one album at concerts just to be nostalgic!! Since A White Sport Coat ...

trsmall was mentioned above for not responding when it was his turn to fulfill a trade. njparrot has made some trades at the end of last year.

I saw that Coconut Pete was on the boards today. It may be time to give him a shout. Just trying to help ;)

Do any of you think there is any way that Jimmy can get/buy the rights to the MCA catalogue of songs?

As a businessman, do any of you think Jimmy could afford to buy the MCA years?

Being a businessman doesn't even enter into it, this is something that's happening on a grassroots level from a fan's perspective (actually several fans, not just Parrot Monkey and myself). To answer Lee's question, MCA has been contacted but no one has heard anything back from them. Perhaps if we ...
