Goodman's First Annual Post Memorial Day Quiz

Post by Goodman »

This is tough!. JB's first reference to an original member of the Coral Reefer Band occurs on which song and on which album?

You get this, you definitely deserve a free Corona when JB hits Jones Beach- if you can find me. :-)

Close, but the entire name is not stated and the Original CRB are a semi-imaginary gumbo.

Sorry Wino and please don't be a whiner. Your answer doesn't have the full name. You and your compadre have won like a half bottle of Rollin Rock. :-)

Your reply was a paean to the JB show last August (Sat show) at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park. The Chicago Town Council a/k/a Lincoln Park Pirates are considering a bill to rename it the "Whizzer Center" every time JB appears there. :-)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your cryptic clue. Are you talking about Ellis Dee on Down to Earth?

And, any beer is better than no beer.

Ellis Dee was never a matriculated member of the original CRB. He flunked the drug test. I'll announce the winning answer by COB today.

OK, one more shot at this.
Jimmy always refers to himself alone as the original CRB. So I then will say Jimmy Buffett on Feeding Frenzy: "It's not nice to beat Jimmy Buffett to the words of his own songs".

As Jimmy would say- "So close". Alas the answer is found in the treasure chest. Part of the canon, that's a pirate's cannon.

I did not know that, Goodman. I don't have that soundtrack. Thanks for the info!

For some who may not know, the "names" of the members (all Jimmy) of the original Coral Reefer Band (that is, the imaginary band) are:

Marvin Gardens (who is also credited as writing "Why Don't We.....")
Kay Pasa
Al Vacado
Kitty Litter


Who were the members of the CRB during it's first tour in June 1975?

Greg "Fingers" Taylor - harmonica & keyboards
Roger Bartlett - lead guitar, backing vocals
Harry Dailey - bass
Phillip Fajardo - drums

This info is from http://www.buffettnews.com/coralreeferband.html .
