Uncle Jim Mayer Blogs about the last Australia Show

Post by SchoolGirlHeart »

Uncle Jim Mayer shares pictures and video of the stage and show preparations at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney Australia, and talks a little about Jimmy Buffett's fall. Very cool!

Looking at Uncle Jim's picture of the stage, it's now easy to understand why JB thought he had another foot or two of stage when he stepped off into thin air... :o :(

Love Uncle Jim's candid behind-the-scenes look. And the best part....

It was incredible to me that Jimmy was able to laugh about it by morning and according to Mac was already sketching out the song lists for the next tour rehearsals.
