I notice one of the last chapters in the book is titled "Boats to Build" (I haven't gotten there yet). So, maybe that song should make the list, too.

(That was frustrating; posted a reply and got an error message...hmmm...I'll try again.) I taped Regis and Kelly and watched it this afternoon. The audience was respectful but not Parrotheads. Regis and Kelly were very formula with their questions and obviously not fans. Two things struck me, though...

I taped it and watched the whole show this afternoon. It clearly wasn't a Parrothead crowd, and Regis and Kelly didn't know much about Jimmy other than the few prepared questions they had. I was struck by two things in general. First, it seemed a bit "assembly line" -- run 'em in and get '...

"Margaritaville is anywhere you want it to be."

Buffett at Wrigley would pretty much be there for me!

Great stories! I was "aware but ignorant" for several years, and then became a "casual user" after buying SYKBH at the KW Margaritaville Cafe on my first trip there in early-'94. Years passed, and I'd hear a friend or colleague remark about the "great Buffett shows," bu...

Heard it this morning
I missed it; so what's the "amazing story" behind the duet with Martina McBride? Thanks.

Yep, the White Sox tickets will be much cheaper and easier to get -- and there are several good reasons why...but I digress. You can get the "L" (subway/elevated train) from O'Hare or Midway into downtown and then connect to the north side (to Wrigley) so the expensive cab fare isn't neces...

A couple of other interesting things to do -- beyond eating and drinking -- to get the flavor of the area: 1) Wrecker's Museum (on Duval St.) -- great history of Key West and how it became the wealthiest city in the US (good ol' pirating). 2) Hemingway House -- flavor of the author, times, and the K...

I kind of think of the song as the book's "hidden treasure," and therefore, not meant for LTC. I'll bet we'll get to hear it premiered live on December 8th. (Oh, and maybe a little Christmas Island music that night, too.) I wonder how many of us will have ASPoL read by then? On the first d...

Very interesting point of veiw. Would have to wonder how you would do this tour day in and day out. I for one know Frank very well and have never seen this version of the tour. Sorry to be negative, but I wanted to share our experience; we weren't the only disappointed ones in the group that day. M...

"That guy Shaq is really, really BIG!"

I'd like to see a picture of Jimmy and Shaq, as Shaq would make Charleston (Jimmy's bodyguard) look small.

Trails of Margaritaville was a great tour, neat places, history, etc. There is one caveat; however, the guide can make a difference. We had Frank who honestly seemed to think the tour was more about Frank vs. Jimmy. He spent half the tour promoting his magic show at the Schooner Wharf, and a bunch o...
