    I first started listening to Jimmy in the early 70's during my first
    trip to Key West. Duval St. back then was something that had to be
    experienced to understand it. Although Key West has gone totally
    commercial, luckily Jimmy hasn't !! (unless you count his club in
    Key West, Margaritaville). I still manage to catch his show once a
    year. I'd rather see Jimmy than any of the over-blown, over-hyped,
    laser-light, smoke-bomb shows that cost a fortune.

    I'm sort of a Florida DECcie in that I spent my entire life until I
    came to work for DEC in south Florida.  So I left there to come to
    Massachussetts, and still trying to figure out why.  But by nature of
    being a Floridian, I love Buffett.  My last Florida plates were 'Save
    the Manatee' plates.
    
    re: root note.
    
    Other than his huge, following, one of the reasons for Jimmy's per show
    take, is that he demands something like $100,000 per show (that's
    American dollars), second, I believe, to Sting's $125,000 per show (I
    read this in a booking publication (don't ask which one, I don't
    remember).
    
    -Jesse

According to some article I read (in Publishers Weekly, I think), the new
Buffett book (the sea plane one) is finished and will be published in
August...I have no idea why the delay.

My daughter has both of Jimmy/Savanna Jane's books, "Jolly Mon" and 
"Trouble Dolls". Of course, I bought both of them for her...I'm glad
I have a child so that I had an excuse ! Trouble Dolls is excellent, right
up there with Jolly Mon, which I believe won a couple of awards.

Another interesting thing I read the other day in the Boston Globe (in of
all places, the Sports section), is that in 1992 Jimmy took home more
money than ANY major league baseball player...that means that he took home
somewhere in the 4-5 million range...not bad.

    Thanks for the info, Tim!

    Alll righhht!  I've been waitin' for Capt. Scott to restart
    this topic in here.
    
    If havin' -FINS- on the license plate of your Miata qualifies
    you as hardcore parrotthead, then I must be one.  Sure wish I
    was down there in Florida to take in one of the shows.  Guess
    I'll just have to wait til Great Woods comes around . . . . but,
    some day soon I'm gonna go where it's WARM!
    
    Anyhow, I've got a question----in the last Coconut Telegraph, they
    advertised a record called "South of the Real World."  Anyone out 
    there have that record?  Is is just Buffett or a bunch of other
    folks too?  Right now, up here in New Hampster with the Montreal
    Express roaring down the tubes, I'd give anything to be south of 
    the real world.
    
    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    
         I didn't get the last telegraph.  What did they say about it?  Is
    this a new release?  God, I hope so....I need a fix! :-)
    
                                                       Capt. Scott
                                                        

    Hi Capt'n,
    
    I don't remember the details.  Seems like proceeds were going
    to some charity.  I'll dig it (the Telegraph) out this weekend 
    and let you know what it says.  
    
    Temperature dipped below zero last night . . . supposed to get
    *colder* this weekend.  Looks like we'll need a few boat drinks
    to make it through.
    
    Ken

if I remember correctly, this disc contained a bunch of *other* artist, but
NOT JB. I too will recheck it tonight....

tim

    
    FWIW,
    
    	JB will be on J.Carson Wed night..it's a rerun...but what the
    heck...
    
    B.A.
    

    re: last couple replies
    
    Yeah, I dug out the Telegraph and, sure enough, it said that
    "South of the Real World" was a collection of stuff by local
    (Key West) muscians.  Wasn't clear, however, if there was some
    JB stuff on it.
    
    Thanks, B.A., for the Carson tip.  Don't watch Carson much anymore,
    so, even tho' it's a rerun, it'll be like the first time for me. :-)
    
    Ken

       Me too!  I think this is the show I missed when he released Off To
    See The Lizard....got to remember to set the VCR!!!!!
    
                                                           Capt. Scott

I doubt if it is the appearance plugging "Off to see the Lizard". Carson
reruns are almost always from the previous year. This is probably the 
one from early 1991 plugging "Feeding Frenzy". If I remember correctly,
he played "In the City" and "Jamaica Farewell"

tim

    
    		I think it's from 1990...but I could be wrong.

Hey,

Anyone know of any Buffett cover bands in the NH/MA/VT area?

I have a friend who is looking to have a party and wants to get a JB cover
band to play.  I haven't lived in the area long enough to know of any
bands that play primarily JB.  

Any help would be great!

Dave    

       I picked up a couple of 8x10's at a record show this week of JB. 
    One is the standard black and white glossy promo deal.  The other is a
    "bootleg" of sorts, I guess you might call it.  It was shot in Key West
    in color and JB is standing in front of the Mic with Acoustic in hand 
    singing away....there is an A1A and a Margaritaville sign behind him. 
    Great photo!!  Now, to get them signed....
    
                                                      Capt. Scott
    p.s.  Also ran across the "_________Jubilee"
          album that he released before getting big
          on another label.  Didn't have the $45 to 
          give for it, though.  Oh well....

    .19�    Great photo!!  Now, to get them signed....
    
    	No problem dude...I'll just get my agent to call ole JB up and tell
    him to get off his lazy butt and sign the picture for a friend! :*)

    Someone once told me of a Buffett love song (no, not "Why don't we get
    drunk and...."!) that would be a great first dance song at a wedding. 
    Does anyone know what this song could be and what album it's on?
    
    Thanks!  ;')
    
    donna_who_loves_jimmy_b_and_is_getting_married_in_august_and

        "Come Monday"?  For some reason, that's all that comes to mind.  Or
    maybe "Come to the Moon"???  I'll take a look later and let ya know if I
    come up with something else.  Buffett has never been one for "I love
    you...let's get married and have kids" types of love songs.  Hell, I can't
    seem to get "Smart woman in real short skirt" out miy mind!!!!! :-)))

    Well, I know it's not come "Come Monday."  Maybe it's the other one.  I
    know it's an older song.  Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Also, anyone know if Jimmy is coming to Great Woods this summer????
    
    Thanks,

    Re Jimmy Buffet music at a wedding reception: Are you having a band or
    a DJ ? You can probably make this argument for a lot of musicians, but
    somehow I don't think Buffets' songs would sound quite right unless
    he's providing the vocals. just my humble opinion..
    
    
     re other Buffet possibilities:
    
    "On a slow boat to China" from the "Somewhere Over China" album ?
    
    
     Bob

         I'm assuming it's a slow song?  Buffett does have
    some...uh,..."love songs"  that are a little more upbeat. :-)
    
    
                                                    Capt. Scott

I think you are going to have to be a bit more specific...JB has 20-odd
albums and quite a few songs that could be called "Love Songs". If the
song is one of his more "popular" ones, you might be thinking of
"Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit"...this is actually a song about hangovers, but
it has a sentimental chorus that goes:

		"you know it get's so damn lonely,
		 when you're on a plane alone,
		 and if I had the money, honey
		 I'd strap you in beside me,
		 And never ever leave you,
		 leave you at home all alone and crying"

sound familiar ?


And yes, Jimmy should be at Great Woods sometime in august. At last years
show he said that he would be back again this year. He typically tries 
to make Great Woods his last show(s), as he likes to vacation on Nantucket
immediatly afterwards..

	Tim

    OK, here's my guess at the love song suitable for wedding first dance:
    
    	"The Stars Fell on Alabama"
    
    Jimmy didn't write it but does a great rendition of it.  It's
    on a few albums back---maybe "Last Mango" or "Coconut Telegraph"?
    
    Chorus goes something like:
    
    	"I never thought in my imagination
    	 A situation so heavenly;
    	 We fell in love where no one else could enter
    	 And in the center was just you and me . . . dear."
    
    I'll look up what album it's on in case you want to check it out.
    
    BTW, I remember reading in the Coconut Telegraph that, around New
    Years, Jimmy was going to be in Nashville "awaiting the birth of his
    second child."  I didn't know he was married again?  (Of course, I
    realize that's not necessarily a requirement, but . . . .)  Anyhow,
    figured some of you Parrotheads might be interested to know that 
    there's another Buffett on the scene.

RE: a few back.

JB's second child is with the same woman as his first child. He recently
got back together with his wife (he had been separated, not divorced, for
several years...

Tim

    Tim,
    
       Who is/was he married to?  I've never known!  I've heard all the the
    Marriage, but never her name!  Also, what's the new kids name?
    
                                                            Capt. Scott

His wife's name is Jane (Buffett) and his first daughter's name is 
Savannah Jane. 

I just was on the phone to the Coconut telegraph to renew my subscription,
and I asked about JB's latest child. As it turns out, his wife Jane gave
birth to another daughter 2 days ago on April Fools day ! I don't know
her name.


Congrats to the whole Buffett clan !

    I just heard a rumor that JB might be playing at Holman Statium this
    summer (that's in Nashua, NH, USA).  I called Cocotel and they said
    they didn't know the schedule yet.  Has anyone else heard anything?  
    
    Nancy
    

 A friend got her copy of the Coconut Telegraph over the weekend..a boxed set
(CDs or cassettes) is due out in the summer..4 CDs each with a different theme





Jim

a few more details re: -1

JB's new box set "Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads" will be released 
this summer. It is a 4 CD/casette set, with each disc's theme corresponding
to part of the title. All of Jimmy's albums will be represented, along
with various rarities and previously unreleased songs which will be
distributed over each of the 4 discs (in other words, even the parrotheads
with all of his albums will be buying this set).

Some of the new titles to be included:

	"Take it Back"  (about the 1987 America's Cup Race)
	"Domino College" (written with Dan Fogelberg)
	"Elvis Imitator"  (Recorded under the name 'Freddie and the Fishsticks')
	"Middle of the Night"
	"Lover and Luck"  (these last 2 are leftover from last 2 albums)
	"Everlasting Moon" (Live from Feeding Frenzy tour)
	"Christmas in the Caribbean" (From 'A Tennessee Christmas')

Tim

    Tim,
    
        Thanks for the good news!  Everlasting Moon?  He didn't do this at
    the show I attended on the Feeding Frenzy tour.  Sounds like a ballad. 
    Is it?
    
                                                        Capt. Scott

Capt. Scott,

I don't know what "Everlasting Moon" is either, he did not do at his
Great Woods shows either. According to the Coconut Telegraph it was
recorded at one of his Cincinatti shows.

Apparently included in the box set will be a booklet with "a copious
amount of Jimmy Buffett photos, articles, half truths, and lies". This
set will be the first release of Jimmy's newly formed Margaritaville
Records.

	Tim

Just got off the phone with the Coconut Telegraph. Buffett has tentativly
been scheduled to play Great Woods on July 9th. They said that he most
likely will add more shows, but as of now they only have one. They also
said that they knew nothing about the Holman Stadium rumor.

Tim

 A friend called a bit ago and said JB is in Houston on June 6..she told me
 the name of the place but I forgot :-/

NOTE:
   - This is all the information I have.  I don't know how many shows he will
     play in each city.
   - This information was given to me today by the Margaritaville Store and
     is only as accurate as that.
   - I don't know where he will play in each city.
   - I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when or where any tickets will go on sale.
   - I recently posted an incorrect date (July 7) for the Detroit shows.
     I heard this on the radio and it was WRONG.  The correct dates
     (July 3rd and 5th) are in the list above.

The best source for additional information is the Margaritaville Store
(305-292-8402).  There is also an 800 number (800-COCOTEL), but it is for
orders only -- do not call it for concert info.

Tickets should be going on sale soon at most venues.  If you are like me
and like to sit in the front, now is the time to start looking.  If anyone
knows when/where tickets are going on sale for any of the shows, please
post.  In particular, I am interested in the Richmond, Columbia, Cincinnati,
Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago shows.

If you have never been to a Buffett concert, make plans to see him this
summer.  If you have been to a Buffett concert, I know you are already
making plans to see him this summer...

    Any one know if Buffet does a song - someone I work with heard it on
    the radio and wants to know the name of it. It goes something like:
    
    "...if we weren't all crazy, we'd all be insane..."

That would be "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes", from the
album of the same name.


	Tim

Waylon Jennings has a song "I've always been crazy (it's kept me from going 
insane)".

 According to the Boston Globe on Friday Jimmy will be doing 3 shows at Great
Woods...7/9-11.  Not confirmed but apparantly those are the dates set aside.




Jim

    Any mention about when tickets are going on sale for
    Great Woods dates?
    
    Thanks,
    Ken

    
    JB is going to be on Johnny Carson this coming tuesday.
    

    The new CD/Cassette set is due out around May 26 or so, I know this 
    because 2 of my Parrothead friends picture is going to be in the
    cover!!!  Any word on tickets yet???  If anyone gets a chance go
    see Buffett in Cincinnati!!! The Parrotheads there are of a 
    different caliber, everyone is in proper attire (unlike here!!!).
    It is also one of JB's favorite towns and he shows it.  I am from
    Cinti. and speak from many years of boatdrinks.
    
    "She came down from Cincinnati....."
                                            LF

    
    Have you ever been to one of the Great Woods  shows ? I have never
    been to Cinci, and I know that he has a huge following there, but
    the great woods show are wild. Last summer, Great Woods and Cinci
    were the only stops on his tour where he did 3 show, so I'd suspect
    the following is similar.
    
    tim

    Yes, I've been the past 2 years to Great Woods and have enjoyed the
    concerts, but have been disappointed with the crowds.  Both years
    I've been in the pavillion and found the audience tame.  In Cinti.
    you don't sit during a show and here we sat more than stand, and 
    got yelled at for standing.  Don't get me wrong, Buffett is great no
    matter where you are and I wouldn't miss it for anything.  I guess I
    just need to hook up with some true parrotheads!  I'm hoping a couple
    of my Cinti. friends will come up for the show, it depends what kind
    of seats I end up with to tempt them.  Good seats in Cinti. are good
    as gold and as hard to find!!  

We should try to get a bunch of DEC parrotheads together for a little
tailgate party prior to one of the shows at Great Woods this year. you
are right about the pavillion though, it does tend to be a *bit* less
rowdy than the lawn (I've been in both). This year I am going for the
lawn...you *can't* sit down out there !

tim

    Tim,
    
    That sounds like a plan!!!  Maybe I'll try a night in the lawn this
    year and change my views!!  I'm glad he's coming in July this year, I
    can't wait!  
    
    Lorna

 Having seen him twice at GW (once in the pavillion and once on the lawn)
 I'll be on the lawn next time.   Lots o' fun.






 Jim

 Anybody else see JB on the Tonight Show last night?  He did "Satisfaction
Guaranteed" (do I have that title right?) and chatted with Johnny a bit..men-
tioned he and his wife being back together  and living in Nashville and the
upcoming tour (which he said they were doing "one more time" which sounded 
rather ominous to me)..





Jim

Yup, I saw it...for some reason, I thought the song was something like
"Money Back Guarantee". In any case, it is a new song, which I'm sure will
be on his new box set. 

I would not read anything into the "one more time" comment, his says that 
virtually every time he tours. Last year in he came right out and said in the 
Coconut Telegraph that he would *not* tour in 1992, but true to form he's 
back. I would not be surprised if he took a summer off sometime soon, but I 
have a feeling we will be seeing JB for a long time to come. 

I was psyched when he said that he has included a booklet in the box set that
includes a paragraph for each song telling what he was doing/thinking when
he wrote each song. I'll bet that will be classic.

tim

 Money Back Guarantee sounds right...I was half asleep while watching it since
 a friend (she turned me on to JB) called and woke me up to tell me he was
 on.  I don't own any boxed sets, but I think I'll get this one.




Jim

    
    	I was hoping that JB had done two songs instead of one...Neil
    Diamond got to do two...FWIW..
    
    	Glad to hear that he got his life together with the family thing.
    Makes a world of difference to the kids.
    
    	Looking forward to July 16th in Charlotte! Outdoors and cold beer!
    
    B.A.

    Uh, B.A.....it's June 19th.  And as per usual, I missed it.  I was deep in
    the throes of a virus and don't even remember being alive at that
    point. :-(
    
                                                     Capt. Scott

 Any idea on when tix go on sale for Great Woods?






 Jim

    No news yet, but i imagine it will be very soon!!!  I know tix for 
    Cinti. go on sale Sat., not that that means anything.  Please post
    as soon as anyone hears!!!
    
    LF
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

Tickets go on sale for the july 9/10 Great Woods shows friday 5/22
at 10 AM...apparently they are holding back on the july 11th show
to see how sales go.

tim

    Tim,
      Do you know if other concerts are also going on sale that day, or
    just Buffett?  Just curious what the line crowds will be like. 
     
    Lorna

don't know...I called ticketmaster and they said Buffett goes on sale
the 22nd...I didn't ask about anything else.

Other years they have put blocks of shows on sale the same days, so I'd
expect that there would be others.

 Rats...what to do, what to do...logistically speaking the best night for me
to see Jimmy would be the Sat night show..so do I gamble that they'll add 
the show and skip buying tix for Friday or do I get Friday and maybe hope I
can trade them for Sat :-/





Jim

    Todays Boston Globe states that the tickets go on sale the 21 NOT THE
    22 of May!!
    
    			Bart

    I think I'ld go by what ticketmaster says, not the globe.  It's
    probably a typo!  If I were you Jim I'ld go ahead and get tickets
    for Friday, just in case.  I'm sure you'll find someone to buy them
    if you end up with tickets for Saturday.  I'm hoping to go both 
    nights if I can!!  
    
    LF

 Yep, I'm going for Friday tickets.  I know someone who'll take them if Saturday
 happens...then again, both nights would be nice :-)




 Jim




 

         

	I was in tower Records in boston Saturday and they said 
	Jimmy's box-set was coming out today....anyone see it 
	yet?

	Dave



 

                 

	I just got off the Phone with Ticketmaster and they said they
	have no date yet for tickets for Jimmy's concert
	at Great Woods.  Even though it says otherwise in the
	globe and other publications Ticketmaster insists they will
	not be on sale tomorrow or Friday.

	Dave
 

 Hmmm...you must've been the busy signal I got when I was trying to call.  The
person I talked to said to call after 4 today to see if the info was loaded
on the magical computer..






Jim

    
    	Just got to take a peek at the box set...No COWBOY IN THE JUNGLE!!!
    
    	But about every other fav of mine is on there...$46  Not too bad a
    deal.
    
    B.A.

Hmmm...are we all calling the same Ticketmaster ?? I just called again
and was told that Buffett tickets for Great Woods go on sale this
friday 5/22 at 10 AM. The only different information I got this time was
that they did not yet know if they would be selling tickets for all
three shows or just the 9th and 10th...

 Fascinating....

 This just in....Buffet goes on sale Friday 5/22 10AM for 3 countem, 3 dates,
July 9, 10 and 11...confirmed by Ticketmaster just moments ago..




Jim

      

	I just got confirmation as well that tix go on sale Friday at 
	10am.  Guess we will all be a little late getting into the
	office tomorrow morning!

	Dave

    This is getting confusing!!! The main ticketmaster downtown says NO
    they are not going on sale and they don't know when they are.  Then I
    called a local ticketmaster and they said YES they were going on sale
    on Fri.  Which is it???  If anyone gets any updated info. please post!!

 I got the info in .80 by calling 617-931-2000 yesterday about 415PM

Sorry if I gave anybody bum scoop on the Sat show...I was told by Ticketmaster
that they were going to go on sale..hope y'all got what you wanted.




Jim

    So, how did everyone do with getting tickets???  I was very upset that 
    they weren't selling the Golden pass seats at all ticketmasters, but
    only by phone or at the box office.  I was first in line and had
    visions of great 

    cont.  from .85
    Sorry I cut that note off!!
    seats, oh well.  I got the middle of section one and some in the back
    of sec. one.  I still want to get tickets for Sat. night so if anyone
    knows when they're going on sale let us know!!  Any replies on the new
    CD set?  Hopefully this week I can fit it into the budget!!

I opted for lawn seats on Friday. If/when tickets go on sale for satuday, I'll
jump on them and then try to sell off fridays...or maybe go to both !

re: the box set, I picked it up late last week. It pretty much has all the
    cuts that you would expect...3 or 4 from each of his albums, plus the
    new ones.  I haven't listed  to the new cuts enough to really form an
    opinion, but at least a couple of them really sound great ("Take it Back",
    and "Everlasting Moon", for example). The 'insert' that is included 
    (I think 'book' would be a much more approprate term) is almost worth
    the price of the set (I said *almost* !). It has a little blurb about
    each song, various artilces by Buffett and others, as well as a bunch
    of pictures...it even has a crossword puzzle of Buffett trivia !

I'd defintely recomend it....

	Tim

    I can't wait to get it now, thanks for your input.  Buffet played in
    Cinti. last night and I heard it was great!!  
    He seems really psyched for this tour, he's been doing some interviews
    in Cinti. and seems to be looking to have a good time.  So am I, I
    can't wait!!
    
    Lorna 

    Went through my "friendly" scalper agency and got tickets for
    Friday night show at Great Woods---Section 3, Row 9.  Embarrassed
    to say how much I paid for them, but, from the looks of the G.W.
    lineup, it's probably the only concert I'll be going to this summer
    . . . unless Jimmy plays Saturday night.  8-)
    
    Ken
    

    KEN,
    Do you have a number for the place you went through??  I really want to
    get good seats for  the Sat. show when it goes on sale.  I have a
    friend from Cinti. coming and I said I would get good seats.  Let me
    know, you can send me a mail message on obsess::fischer.
    
    Lorna

 Anybody seen any shows on the current tour, or know what tunes he's doing?






 Jim

 Just called Newbury Comics in Nashua (thanks to a tip from a friend) who said
that the July 11 show (Saturday) tix go on sale tomorrow at 10AM.





Jim

    Tickets are on sale NOW 6/5/92 for the July 11 show at GREAT WOODS,
    just got mine.
    
    			See you there,
    
    			Bart

    Great!!  Any extra tickets??  I tried to call for 1 and half hours..no
    luck.  Guess I'll try the scalpers???
    
    Lorna

I just picked up 4 lawn tickets....I'm psyched....let's hope for nice
weather for the saturday afternoon tailgateing !

So, this means that I now have 4 tickets available for FRIDAY's show. 
I'll offer it here before posting to a wider audience.

Tim

         Has anyone seen the show yet?  Review/description?
    
                                                            Capt. Scott

 A friend saw the show in Houston a couple weeks ago.  She said it was great,
but since I'm just back from vacation and a couple Dead shows I can't remember
all she told me about Buffett's show..the opening act (name forgotten) was quite
good and the rendition of "Why don't we Get Drunk" was pretty good (though she
told me I'll have to wait to hear it at GW)...I'll ask her tonight what all he
played and post it tomorrow..





Jim

    
    	Any of you southeastern fans going to Charlotte Friday night to
    catch Buffett?  If so, drop by the Motel 6 at exit 33 near the coliseum
    and look for the party!  We've got a couple of rooms and we'll hit the
    Rum drinks and Cds around 1:00pm

Re: .96 (asking for a review of a show)

All you Parrotheads do know that there's a Usenet newsgroup devoted
to JB, right?  It's alt.fan.jimmy-buffett, and can be found on a news
server near you.  It was pretty active a few weeks ago with lots of
discussion of B^4, upcoming shows, and reviews of shows.  It's slowed down
recently, but that may be a problem with my news server.

This is not the time or place to tell you how to get news, but if you're
interested in VNEWS (for VMS), see CLO::VNEWS.  ULTRIX users
should use mxrn (it might work on VMS, too)--see UFP::XRN.

I've got 2 lawn tickets for the Friday night (7/10) show at Great Woods
that I can't use anymore.  See the for sale note if you're interested.

	- karl

        I've heard about it, bit haven't had the time to learn how to use
    the news groups.  Got a NETpal from the box that forwards me the good
    stuff untill I do.
    
    Capt. Scott

      

	A friend of mine has two pavillion seats available for Thursday
	night.  She bought them from a tix agency so the price is a little
	higher than face value but needs to get rid of them.  If your 
	interested call me at DTN 264-2495.

	Dave

    Jimmy Buffet is exceedingly popular in Cincinnati (where I'm from) Can
    anyone explain????
    
    I'm BAFFLED

    	The concert in Charlotte was simply AWESOME!  I didn't sit down not
    one time during the 2 hours of music and mayhem!
    
    
    	The audience participation was unreal!  Everyone was really having
    a great time!  As far as the music went...classic Buffett!
    
    	Buffett came out in a shirt and shorts with tennis shoes and had a
    ball!  The audience starting singing the opening number way before
    Jimmy hit the stage..in to which Jimmy replied...We'd like to sing
    along with you guys if you'll let us!  Too Cool!
    
    B.A._who's_now_a_PARROITHEAD_

         Well, like B.A. said in -1, the show was pretty awesome!  One of
    the best I've seen.  The show was an even bigger circus than I
    expected.  There were more vans with inflatable sharks on top, more
    people in costume, more banners, more alcohol, more everything than
    I've ever seen.  You could just feel Charlotte bubbling with excitement
    as the concert hour approached.  
         Jimmy did several covers that I'd never heard him do live.  He did
    Brown-eyed Girl, Another Sat. Night, and Carolina in my mind.  He did
    a short acoustic set early on and ended with two encores.  A most
    memorable show.  Wish I could make another one this summer...I don't
    think I can wait another whole year!
    
                                                          Capt. Scott

Hello all you Parrotheads,

At the last minute I decided I wanted to go to the July 10th show at Great Woods.
Many minutes too late I should add. If anyone knows of any tickets for sale for
that night please send me mail. I need two and I don't care if they're lawn 
seats.

Thanks,
Natalie

    "Cincin" sounds like some glowing Trader Vic kind of drink served with
    an umbrella and a plastic mermaid.  "Nati" is short for the "Native
    Cultures" which are ruthlessly exploited by aging hippie
    neo-colonialists.
    
    Ray

    i'm in need of one (or two) if necessary tickets for the July 11
    (Friday) show at great woods...  if anyone out there has spares (lawn
    or pavilion), it would be greatly appreciated...
    
    thanks!
    alex  (dtn 225-4137)
     

    In reply to why Buffett is so popular in Cinti. it is unexplainable. 
    Each year he becomes increasingly popular there and people who don't
    even know him go and have a great time.  I think its the atmosphere of
    going and getting dressed up and drunk and not caring what anyone else
    thinks because they look just as ridiculous.  Its kind of like a
    phenomenom (sp?) now, even the department shows are sellin Buffet
    shirts hats parrotts etc. and making money off of it.  Its a great
    thing one of those things every Buffett fan should experience, its
    worth the trip!!!
    
    Lorna

    jimmy was here in minneapolis last night.  i must say this was the 3rd
    time i've seen him and the show was EXCELLENT!  he palyed a couple of
    songs with the opening band (evangeline).  i wish i had gotten there
    early enough to hear more of her stuff.
    
    i picked my own seat in a section to the left of the stage and just
    below the "box" seats. had an EXCELLENT view and no one in back of
    me to whistle my hearing away.  the seat in front of me was also empty
    so i could put my feat up and not hit anyone.
    
    the crowd here was just so "into" the margeritiaville bar scene.  i
    didn't expect it this far north!  anyway, i left with some great audio
    memories and a neat t-shirt and my hearing!
    
    	ann

    I just finished reading through the parrothead handbook that came with
    the new box set and definitely feel that I got my moneys worth.  What a
    life this guy has led, his songs have new meaning to me after reading
    some of the situations in which they were written.  I am even more
    psyched for the concert now than ever!!!!  I can't wait to be wasted
    away again in.........
    
    Lorna

                    

    Jimmy got his annual cover on the Calender section of the globe
    today.  Real nice article! 

    Countin' the days till July 9, 10, 11.

    Dave

The Great Woods shows are almost upon us...hopefully we got all the
rain taken care of *last* weekend !

So, what kind of a crew do we have going this weekend ? Maybe we can all
meet somewhere in the parking lot and do a little tailgating. Any interest ?
I will be there both friday and saturday with some novice parrotheads in tow,
so I'd like to show them some real parrotheads !

Tim

 We'll be going Friday night (unless I can scare up tix for Sat) and doing 
 some tailgating wherever we windup.



 Anybody have Saturday Pavillion they want to trade for Friday Pavillion?



 If so, please send mail.




 Jim

      

	I'm going Thursday and Friday and hope to be down there by
	4 or 5pm both days to do some serious pre-concert preperation!!

	I have one extra pavillion seat for Friday if anyone is interested.

	Dave

Just when you thought you had enough...

I need a few more tix for the saturday show...lawn prefered. If anyone
has any extra they want to unload, I would greatly appreciate it !

Tim

    Ahhhhh....if I were a rich man...Wouldn't it be great if i got a mail
    message saying someone had some frequent flyer miles they wanted to
    give me and I could fly outta Charlotte saturday morning after the
    Indigo Girls show on Friday and I could meet up with all you
    DECparrotheads and go to the great woods show and wouldn't it be great
    if i brought beer!  Sorry....just a little Havanna Daydreaming...

    parrotheads?

    re-1,

    Good Luck Capt.
    
    B.A.

    Why that's not much at all....hell, I drove to Tampa!!
    Is it just 12-13 hours????   I though it would be more like 16-18? 
    Anywy, I'm driving a rental car this and next week so the road trip 
    thang won't be happening. :-(   B.A.'s right about the Punch though...
    better than Granny's spring tonic!

    Takes me 7 or so hrs. to DC, probably another 3 thru VA, and your guess
    from VA border to Charlotte.
    
    -Jesse

    All right Parrotheads here's a special concoction invented just for us! 
    I call it....
    
    "CAPT. SCOTT'S PIRATE PUNCH FOR PARTYING PARROTHEADS"
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Ingredients:
    - Puerto Rican or Jamaican Rum (gold/dark)
    - Malibu Rum
    - 5-Alive Tropical Juice (not the citrus)
    - Diet Sprite
    
         I mix it differently everytime but it usually goes something like
    this:
    - 1 litre of Dark Rum  (or more)
    - 1 Pint of Malibu     (for the coconut flavor...accept no substitute)
    - 2 Quarts or 5-Alive  (maybe 3...depends)
    - 1 Litre Diet Sprite  (This is mostly to keep it from being TOO sweet)
    
         Enjoy!
    
                                                            Capt. Scott
                                                                       

    Anyone out there wanna comment on the show last night at Great Woods,
    or was it just too good for words.  Jimmy looked as though he were
    having the time of his life up there (I was on the lawn, so I had to
    rely on the video screens).
    
    -Jesse

WOW, what a great show last night!!! I don't want to give too many things
away about the show but I will hit some highlights.  He began by coming
out on stage with Evangiline, the opening act, and played two songs with
them.  Then the CRB came out and did an instrumental version of
Off to see the Lizard.  Then Jimmy took the stage and did Volcano
and the crowd went nuts.  I thought it odd that he open with Volcano,
but it was great!  The second song was a suprise to me.  Though it is
one of my favorite old songs, I've never heard him play it.  It was
SAXAPHONES!...I think he ended up doing at least one song from all the 
albums...even a few songs that only the most knowledgeable parrothead
would know.  I always like it when I'm the only one in the row to know the
words. 

One of the funniest parts of the show was when he was singing Gypsies
in the Palace and forgot the words....he ended up skipping a verse.
I won't spoil any more since I know alot of you are going tonight and
tomorrow.  He did two encores also...with the second being Big Round Ball.

He sure was having a good time on stage and I think thats what really makes
being a Parrothead so much fun....besides Cap't Scott's punch!

I'll be in the 7th row tonight and can't wait.  For anyone going, if you
see a white Jeep with a shark on top, stop over for a drink or three!

	/Dave

In case any of you DECparrotheads want to get together, I'll be rolling
into Great Woods around 3:30 or 4:00 this afternoon, and probably a bit
earlier than that tomorrow. I'll be in a blue Toyota pickup with a 6'
inflatable shark on the roof. If you can track me down, stop on by
for a Margarita and a cheeseburger (I've got the Heinz 57 !)

Tim

    If anyone is interested in pavillion seats for Sat. show sec.3 row U
    (16th) I have 2.  Make an offer!! You can reach me at home 508
    520-4687.  We'll keep an eye out for you guys tonight and tomorrow.
    Have fun.  Leave a message on machine if no answer.
    
    The Brown eyed girl and the Blonde stranger......

If you're going to Buffett (or anywhere) on rt 495 tonight, read on...

495 south was bumper to bumper stop and go at lunch time today in Marlboro 
(near rt. 20 intersection).  I'd advise trying to go around that section and 
maybe get on at rt. 9 or the mass pike (I don't know how far down the traffic 
went).

Scott

	FYI....for anyone who has not bought Boats, Beaches, Bars, and 
	Ballads yet...Lechmere is having a sale this week and it is
	selling for $41.99.  That's the lowest I've seen it anywhere.


	Dave

Great shows...All the old tunes was definitly the high point for me.  All the
times that I have seen him, it never ceases to amaze me as to how much he
genuinely appears to be having a great time up there.

Did anyone else notice on saturday night that he said "I'll see you all in '93" ?
That sounds to me that he'll be back next year, althought in previous 
interviews he seemed pretty adamant about taking next summer off. Hmmm, maybe 
he just can't give it up ?
 
tim

 Friday night was great...haven't enjoyed a show that much in a long time.

 I really liked the fact that he did Its been a Lovely Cruise for the final 
 encore..I had been thinking about that song all day never expecting he'd
 do it.  What a great time!






 Jim

 Anybody have a tour schedule handy?  I'm particularly intersted in when
Jimmy is in Mt View, Ca as I may be out that way later in the summer..

    
    August 28  Mountainview Ca.		Shoreline Amp
    

    So Tim did ya wear your Dead Eye Dick T-shirt? :^}
    
    Sounds like you had a great time , maybe next year for me :^)
    
    Joyce
    

Hi Joyce,

Nope..I opted for my "Parrots of the Caribbean" shirt, although it was
a tough call. Speaking of which, I have a great picture of the 'Dead Eye
Dick's Club"...I'll have to show it to you next time we hook up.

Tim

    
    According to the latest Coconut Telegraph, they are trying to
    get together a compilation of all of JB's various videos, TV
    appearences, concert footage and possibly the NO DRALS video
    that he showed on 1991 tour. The problem is that they claim 
    that the powers that be are very hesitant because of cost, legal
    preparations, etc.. SO, they have requested that everyone that is
    interested send in a short postcard stating your support and a
    simple "Sure, I'll buy it". If your interested, the address is:

    it will be Jimmy Buffett Live!
    
    Too cool!

 Anybody else catch Buffett Saturday night on the Texas Connection?  Great show,
 lots of picking and story telling between Jimmy and Jerry Jeff Walker who, un-
 beknownst to me, are long time buddies..Fingers Taylor also joined them.


 Jimmy tunes (from memory) Margaritaville, A Pirate Looks at 40, Come Monday..

 I think I'm missing one..

    the other (i don't know the name of it) was about the two guys watching
    Jimmy's house in CO. :')

    	Gypsies in the palace!  He and Snake were watching the palace!
    
    B.A.

He also played "Railroad Lady" which he and Jerry Jeff wrote together. I
agree that the show was great. It is always great to hear the stories
behind the songs....

    Well, once again I managed to miss out on a rare Buffett TV (BTV...hey
    I may be onto something...) appearance.  Anyone wanna lend a parrothead
    a tape? 
    
                                                           Capt. Scott

	Did anyone get to see Jimmy on The TODAY show this morning?

	He did a great interview with Bryant GumBall about his new 
	book that just made it to the Best Seller List this week.

	He said he was tired from doing the last show of his tour 
	on the west Coast and taking a red-eye to NY, but he looked
	and sounded good.  

	They didn't talk about anything too crazy, but when asked if the
	book was autobiographical, he said it was up to us to determine
	where the fiction ended and the facts began!  He also said that
	Frank Bama the main character in the book used to be an 
	alias he used when he checked into hotels.

	He also said that he has been threatening to retire, but 
	he just can't stop and is gonna do another album!

Re: JB's new book

To show you his popularity in Cincinnati, JB is appearing here for a
*book-reading* and has sold-out the Taft Theatre, about 6000-7000 seat place.
No music, just him talking and reading stuff from his new book.

Bruce

    
    
    	I saw Clint Black in concert last weekend.  Near the end of the
    show he did a Buffett song (shesh, I can't remember the title).  It was
    a solo on the guitar.  It had something to do with friends.  Clint said
    they have worked on quite a bit of stuff together.

Just a quick note to mention some of the things that I have been reading
in the JB newsgroup on the Internet. As mentioned in .-2, he gave a
book reading/acoustic concert/Q&A in Cinci last week. Apparently it was
a great show...all the tunes were *real* oldies. He also mentioned that
he is working on a new album and it should be ready for his tour *next*
summer...so once again he goes back on his claim to be taking a year off !
He also did a benifit concert for the victims of Hurricane Andrew in
Joe Roby (sp?) stadium last weekend...

Oh yea...JB is scheduled to be on the Whoopi Goldberg show this friday
night ! An entire half hour of just Buffett !

Tim

	A friend of mine just heard on WBOS that Jimmy will be in 
	Boston for a book signing on tuesday October 6th at 
	Lauriet Books in Boston from 12 to 1pm.  I'm not
	sure where Lauriet Books is, but I am going to find out!

	Dave

    Dave,
    
    	Lauriat's has a bookstore right in Downtown Crossing, behind
    Filene's.  There might be other branches in Boston, but this is the
    only one that I know of right in downtown.
    
    brenda
    

	I called the store and they confirmed it is the Franklin St 
	Store where Jimmy will be from 12-1pm.

	Dave    

Do did anyone else catch Jimmy on Whoopi this weekend ?? Great show...real
laid back and informal. He did not attempt to plug anything, as a matter
of fact, he did not even *mention* his book. Whoopi mentioned B*4, but
only in passing. He spend most of the time talking about his grandfather
and his extended family (Buffetts around the world)...oh yea, and he
performed "That's What Living is to Me".


So who's heading down to Boston for the signing tomorrow ? I hope to get
down by 9:30 or 10:00 to make sure I get a good spot in line.

Tim

    For those, like me, who missed the Texas Connection show with 
    Jimmy and Jerry Jeff Walker, TNN is showing it again this Saturday
    (Feb 6) at 7:00 p.m.
    
    Ken
    

Was the show on TNN this weekend the same as the one with Jerry Jeff ? That
show (aired last summer) was a full hour, and the TV Guide had the show
this weekend scheduled for only 1/2 hour...maybe it was edited ?

    Im not sure.....it was Jerry, Fingers and Jimmy.....I saw it last time
    around too....but I don't remember it as a 1hr show last time....
    
    Chris

    I've only just started getting into the great man. Living in England
    doesn't help, seeing as the only hit he seems to had was
    'Margaritaville' over here. My girlfriend is a huge fan and she has got
    me hooked on the guy (she's American). Only problem is, I went to my
    local record shop, and they didn't stock ONE Jimmy Buffet album. If
    some one has the time, could they see their way clear to giving me a
    discography of albums so I know what to stock up on. So far I've only
    got the Best of (Songs to learn and know) which I bought whilst in the
    States. I can't find SFA over here. Are we uncultured or what?
    
    Ian

    well this is a start.....ask for A1A which is my fav.....
    
    off the top of my head (way off)
    
    A1A
    Havana Dayddreaming
    Changes in Latitude/Changes in Attitude
    
    hummm this is a very short list but its early for me I know there are a
    few people who can list the LPs.....
    
    Chris

     a few more from the top of my head...
    
     Son of a son of a sailor
     Volcano
     Somewhere over china
     last mango In Paris
     One particualr harbor
     You had to be There (Live album)
     Hot Water
     Songs You Know by Heart (a greatest hits collection)
     Living and Dying in 3/4 time
     Coconut Telegraph
     Off to see the Lizard
    
    
    Bob
    
     ps 
    actually a good start would probably be the new box set he has out.

Ok folks,

This hasn't been posted for a while and there are a few newcomers to
this group, and there have been alot of questions recently about "what

    Wow, well from one new Buffett noter certainly, thanks for the response
    and discography. I think a good start for me would be the box set,
    although whether or not I can find it in this god-forsaken country is
    another matter! Guess I'll have to go into London and visit one of the
    record megastores.
    
    With all that output, it amazes me that my local record store didn't
    stock ONE album in ANY format! Serious words will have to be had with
    the manager methinks!

    Another Parrot Head Stuck in Europe where no one knows who the
    hell he is. Keep looking though, Around Xmas time I saw his box
    set here in Munich. I almost freaked out. Lucky I get back to
    the states a couple times a year to keep stocked up on old Jim.
    
    Also you would be suprised how many hidden parrot heads there
    really are here in Europe. I know I have found a few casual ones
    and one special one. :<}

    Does the box set booklet contain lyrics, too?
    
    Henrik

no, but it does contain a really neat booklet (more like a book) with
little stories, and a little blurb for each song saying what it is about
or what it means to him.

The following is a survey that I posted on the usenet. So far I have got
a great response and figured I would post here to see if anyone wants to
respond. Please reply via mail to TOOK::FINAN (not to this note). When I 
tally all the results I will post them here.

Ok...recently Joe ([email protected] (Captain Tony)) posted a survey
for our favorite JB tune. I think most of us had the same immediate
response, that being "what, just *one* !...that's too hard".

So, if Joe doesn't mind, I would like to expand the survey to include
the following 3 questions. Please reply via email and I will tabulate
the results and post them in a couple of weeks.

The questions are:

1) what are your THREE favorite Buffett songs (in order). I will weight
   each choice as follows: 3 points for #1, 2 points for #2, and 1 point for #3

2) what is your favorite Buffett album ? I would *like* to restrict this
   to studio albums, but if you feel strongly that one of the compilations
   or live albums are best, go for it.

And the REAL hard one....

3) What is your *least* favorite JB tune ? I know this is tough, but if
   you were told you had to live without just one buffett song for the
   rest of your life, what would it be ?


Have fun,

	Tim

Boy, this topic has been dead for a while ! Must be the long
cold winter...

anyway, word has it that JB will be releasing a compilation album of
artist that perform at his club in Key West (Margaritaville Cafe) which
will contain 3 or 4 new songs of his own. This is due to be released
on May 11th.

Also due out on May 11th are his first 2 albums (before he 'made it big')
that have been out of print for years ("Down to Earth" and "Cumberland 
County Jubilee"...or something like that)....as well as the debue album
by the Iguanas (on Margaritiaville Records) who are Jimmy's latest 
'discovery'.

A complete new Buffett album should be out sometime in the fall.

Tim

Yabut when's he coming to New England? :)
bob
p.s  thanks for the update...

No dates have been announced yet, but rest assured
he will definitly be here.

	Just an update regarding the where-abouts of JB this past
        weekend...a friend of mine was in New Orleans at the Jazz Fest
	and went to see Evangaline play.  They had JB come out and play
	3 songs with them.  Then a few hours later, my friends were
	watching the Iguana's and they did the same thing...4 songs 
	this time!!  I guess jimmy was there with Savannah Jane and his
	new born child, even talked to the crowd and signed autographs 
	etc...the Coral Reefers are playing at the New Margaritaville
	Cafe in New Orleans, Mon-Wed of this week, and rumor has it that
	JB will make a special appearance there as well.  

	Wishin' I was there wastin' away!!  Septemeber is just too
	far away!

	Dave

I am looking for tickets for saturday the third. I
would prefer the lawn, but pavillion are fine.

Please contact me at TOOK::FINAN or DTN 226-7607

Thanks
	Tim

	I just read in USA Today that the Iguana's will be 
	opening for JB in the Parking lot of many of his
	concerts!!  This should really create a pre-Buffett
	party at Great Woods! I can't wait to see all three shows!

	Dave

    	What are the lyrics for the first verse in "One Particular
    Harbor"????
    
    		Thanks,
    			Dave (who's still looking for Fri.night GW Tix...)

If you mean the Tahitian chorus at the beginning,
it goes like this (translation follows)


           IA ORA TE NATURA
           E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI

           UA OAU TE MAITAI NO TE FENUA
           TE VAI NOA RA TE ORA O TE MITIE

Translated, this means:

            Nature lives (life to nature)
            Have pity of the earth (Love teh earth)
            The bounty of the land is exhausted



Tim

    Thats it!
    		Thanks,  Dave

Buffett has announced a 4th show at Great Woods
on Sunday, Sept. 5th. This ties him with James
Taylor for the record for most shows in a single
season at Great Woods.

Tickets go on sale friday...


	Tim

    All Tix were sold by noon time for JB's 4th show!!

    Does anyone out there know where or how I could obtain two tickets for
    the Sept. 3rd show at GW?
    		Thanks in advance for any help.

     There's a beach ware shop on Cape Code in downtown Hyannis that sells
    lots of Buffet T-shirts, shark hats, stickers, key chains,etc. The 
    shirts have pictures depicting some of his more famous songs, such as 
    "Cheesburger in Paradise, "Changes in Lattitudes, "Changes in Attitudes" ,
    "Margaritaville", "Why don't we get drunk and Screw ?", etc. Most of the 
    shirts also contain a verse or 2 of the song on them too. They were  priced
    according to size from $16 to $18 a piece. I think the sign in the shop 
    said that a portion of the profits go to Buffets charity "The Jimmy Fund"
    
    
      They also were raffling off a free set of tickets to one of this
    week's concerts at Great Woods.

Wow Al,  I just read in the Globe sunday where he said in a phone interview
something like this:  "I did my Walden Woods thing at the Centrum.  This is
the end of the tour and I'm tired."

where'd you hear that?

I heard it announced on WBCN this morning. I guess he's going to play a 
mini-set, similar to Aerosmith (who are only playing 4 songs).

	As much as I love Jimmy and am a huge Parrothead, I can't
	help but think that I spent the last four days listening
	to "Songs you know by Heart"  Having been at all FOUR shows, 
	By far the best show was the Saturday show...The highlight
	of the weekend was "Gods Own Drunk", I don't just mean
	my escapades in the parking lot!!  In Ten years of being a
	die hard Buffett fan, I have never ever seen him do this and it 
	has got to be one of my favorites.

	Jimmy put on a great show, the Iguana's were awesome in the
	parking lot, especially sunday, when Jimmy came out and 
	played with them!  I was hoping that the song selection
	would have been a little better.  The only time he
	really changed the show from night to night was when the
	band took a break and he and Fingers were on the stage alone.
	This is when he did the songs I hoped to hear...African Friend,
	Little Miss Magic, Coconut Telegraph....but at least he played
	Livingston Saturday Night which I had never seen him do live.

	As always, the JB weekend was a complete success....even
	the new tunes were really good.  Can't wait for the new
	Album, its been too long since he's put out new songs.

	Any other thoughts on the show...

	Still wasted away from Capt Scott's Pirate Punch for 
	Partying Parrotheads....

	Dave

re.- 107.181

Bob,

Do you know the name of the T-shirt shop in Hyannis that you mentioned sold all 
the great Buffet paraphanalia. If you don't, can you tell me what it might be 
near? Is it on Main St?

Thanks,
Natalie

    
    
    > Is it on Main St?
    
     yup it's on main st. - same side as the mini golf. Not too far away
    from the army surplus store. Wish I could be more specific, but the
    cobwebs have formed already. 
    
     Bob               

    The shop is called Sports East.

    Sorry, I'm a new noter! 
    
    Just noticed reference to a NEWSWEEK article (11Oct93, p42) where the
    Editor-in-Chief of NEWSWEEK, Richard M. Smith, asks Bill Gates of 
    Microsoft if he thinks there is a "feeding frenzy" to buy products that 
    will appear in the electronic superhighway. 
    
    Have we discovered another Buffett fan here? ...or is this a common
    expression in the US?
     

    "Feeding frenzy" is a very popular US term. It refers to any action
    where folks act like a mindless mob driven by primal compulsions- like
    sharks presented with bloody meat.
    
    Bob

    
    Well, 'feeding frenzy' is a pretty common expression here in the
    states but, knowing the prevalence of 'Parrotheads', it's probably a
    safe bet he's a Buffet fan anyways :-)
    
    					-Jimbo
    

    
    - ya beat me to it, Bob . . ;-)
    

    Just got into this file....
    
    Does anyone know where Capt Scott can be found?  I tried to send him a
    message and got back a NOSUCHNODE error....
    
    Has he gone to that great Captain Tony's in the sky???
    
    Eric-who-became-a-born-again-Parrothead-this-summer.....

    Since I don't have any Buffet in my CD collection, I'd like to get
    'Best Of'.... the yellow CD. Does anybody have this, and if yes
    how does it sound? Reason I ask is that it is not MASTERED, and I've
    got burnt on a couple of CD's as far as sound quality of oldies
    re-maked to CD which are not 'Digitally Mastered'. They really
    sound terrible. For instance the 'new' Tom Petty 'greatest'... is
    not mastered... and it sounds lousy.. probably won' paly it again.
    
    		Jerry

    Re. -1
    
    I have the disc in question ("Songs You Know By Heart").  
    
    I don't know even know the SPARS code for the disc, and I really don't
    care.  The sound quality is very good.  There is *some* hiss on the
    older tracks, but it is nothing really disturbing.  I played the disc
    over and over and enjoyed it immensely!
    
    I don't play it as much nowadays, because I purchased the boxed set and
    have been playing *that* instead!!! ;)
    
    "Songs You Know By Heart" was MY first ever Buffett CD, and it turned
    Betty and me into born-again Parrotheads.  I recommend it highly.
    
    						--Eric--
    

    If ya want to spend the bucks, I'd recommend his 3 CD release
    "Boats, Beaches, Bars" (not necessarily in that order). I consists
    of a larger helping of his best stuff. These have been remastered
    and the audio quality is better than the orignal cuts.

    Lyric question:
    
    Since I don't know the place name, can someone fill in this blank for

This is a nit, but it is actually a 4 CD set and it is
called "Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads"

    No ballads included in the 3 Cd box, eh?    8^)  8^)

    Jimmy's concert dates hot off the press.  A couple friends of mine just
    returned from Key West with a copy of the 1994 tour schedule in hand. 
    Just the medicine to clear the winter blahs...parrotmania.  JB arrives
    at Great Woods Thursday July 28th through Saturday July 30th.  Not sure
    he'll have a 4th because he plays a benefit on August 1st in Montauk,
    N.Y.  I know I'll be there Friday and Saturday (Motel 6 employees
    should start shuddering about now).  This is totally legit because they
    picked up the schedule at Margarittaville as it was just faxed to them
    by his management company - HK Management on March 1st.  Start paying
    attention to the papers cause I hear James Taylor has already announced
    his dates at GW with a set ticket sales date.  If anyone is interested
    I could post his entire tour schedule but right now I have to talk to a
    pirate looking at forty (actually my boss staring at 50).

    yes list the dates !!! when your free like on a coffee break, eating
    your lunch !
    
    (in case the boss is looking)

Tickets for Buffett @ Great Woods for 3 shows
7/28-7/30 go on sale thru ticketmaster this
monday (3/21) at 10AM

See you in line !

	Tim

    Got my Buffett tickets this morning. This TICKETMASTER thing is
    getting out of hand. After waiting in line since 4AM we get an
    announcement by the dealer that you can only buy 4 resevered seats per
    person, this after my wife called ticketmaster Saturaday morning and
    they told her that the limit would be 8. We needed a total of 15. Then
    after this 6 hour wait in line we get section 4 row N and section 5 row
    S. Where did all the tickets go. We were 2nd and 3rd in line.
    
    Chris

    > Where did all the tickets go?
    
    See the note on scalpers.

    I'm not complaining about scalpers. I'll probably end up going to one
    to get the remaining 7 tickets that are needed. My biggest problem is
    ticketmaster changing the rules 5 minutes before tickets go on
    sale!!!!! On Saturaday the total was 8 per person then changes to 4
    reserved seating/4 lawn or a total of 8 lawn.

Well, um... I for one can definitely see how db got the idea you were annoyed at
standing in line for the privilege of getting "sloppy seconds" for a seating
choice. If not, thassokay, it's your dough and your choice.

> Where did all the tickets go?

Long time pa-a-ssing,
Where did all the tickets go,
Long time ago-o...

    	I need 6 lawn tix for the Saturday night show!!  I will buy them
    or trade with you (I have 6 lawn tix for Thursday night show). Contact
    me if you are interested.
    					Thanks,  Dave

    Any word on how ticket sales went?  I heard Saturday was all sold out.
    Did the others sell out as well? How fast?  They announced while I was
    in line at @ 10:30 Sat. Pavilion's were out and at @ 10:40 Fri.
    Pavilion's were out.  Count me in as also unhappy about the bait 'n
    switch concerning the maximum we could purchase. It's a good thing I
    made immediate friends with some people while in line.
    
    
    Dave

    yup all sold out....bummed for sure....
    
    anyone with a few to sell send me mail....

    I got to Ticketmaster about an hour after the tix went on sale and 
    other than lawn tix, the only thing avail was "single" seats scattered
    around. (there werent ANY seats (not even singles) for Saturday night.)
    
    Usually they announce another show, so I wouldnt doubt in a week or
    two they will anounce a Sunday night show too. (Hopefully :-))

    how many shows did they sell for ? 2 ? 3 ?

              <<< Note 107.217 by SLOHAN::FIELDS "Strange Brew" >>>

Not sure what you mean but they sold tix for Thur/Fri/Sat.  Wonder if there'll
be a Sunday show....


bob

    yeah thats what I was looking for...so all 3 show are sold out, rats !
    
    well Im sure I can find 3 lawn tickets by then :')

bob

    yeah, the wife did call (she got Phil Colins tix on monday and they
    went on sale saturday...) but they told her no tix for Buffett, maybe
    we will call them again and see .... never hurts to try !!!!

    Has anyone heard of dates this summer for Jimmy Buffet ???
    I've seen the summer schedule for Fiddler's Green (Denver's
    roofless version of Great Woods) and there is nothing for 
    Jimmy. Has he finally come thru on his threat to take a summer
    off, or is it he hates Fiddler's Green as much as I do!!
    
    Is he scheduled for Great Woods this summer?? If so, when??

    Also heard Buffett will be on Letterman some night this week (I don't
    know which night though.)

Buffett is on Letterman tonight (5/23). He will be
on the Today show tomorrow morning (5/24), and on
Larry King thursday (5/26)

    I picked up Jimmy's new tape "Fruit Cakes" and just started to listen
    to it. It sure was a surprise that he does a Grateful Dead tune 
    "Uncle John's Band" as well as a Kink's(?) tune "Sunny Afternoon".
    
    

Hey Buffet Fans,

I have a friend who has two lawn seats for Friday nights show July 29th. He's 
looking to trade for Thurs show July 28th so he can join us. Can you help???

If so send mail after June 25th. He's on vacation this week.

    Well, for me the biggest surprise was the third-world remake of the old
    Patsy Cline tune "She's Got You" - crazy, mon! ;^)
    
    I got the CD last week.  Don't know if we'll find a "Margaritaville" on
    this one eventually, but there is lotsa good music and lyrics here. 
    "Fruitcakes" and "Lone Palm" are clearly songs that were in the works
    when JB was writing his "Joe Merchant" novel.  
    
    Give the album a listen; it's good stuff.  And "have a fruitful day!"

We have found we have two lawn seats available for tomorrow nights (Thurs.)
Great Woods show. We are selling them for $27.50. $23.00 for the ticket, $4.00

    Heard on the 6:50am news this morning (on a classical music station, no
    less!) that Jimmy Buffett had a flying accident yesterday in Nantucket.
    As I heard it, the seaplane he was flying lost power on takeoff and 
    apparently pancaked into the harbor.  Jimmy had to punch out a window
    of the plane and was pulled out by a couple of fishermen - as far as
    I heard, the only thing hurt was his pride, thank goodness.
    
    Can someone post the whole story?  I'm stuck here in a cleanroom! :^(

    Not really spring fever, headed up noth to go skiing for the rest of
    the week. Last year they announced tickets sales around this time and
    they went on sale on March 21. We waited in line 6.5 hours with the
    temps in the low teens. Just don't want to miss the announcement.
    
    Chris

No word yet. The only dates that have been announced
are some April dates for shows in Florida and the deep
south (this is actually the final leg of last years
Fruitcakes tour). 

If you are interested in those dates, let me know and
I can get them.

    Got shut out on tickets to GreatWoods.  Unfortunately, by the time I
    could get through to Ticketmaster, everything was sold.  Two questions:
    
    1)  Has anyone heard if there will be a 4th concert scheduled on the
    Thursday between all the other shows?
    
    2) Anybody got any lawn tickets to any of the shows that you want to
    move?

    	New album coming out Tuesday!
    
    						Scott.
    

re:-1
The album name is "BAROMETER SOUP"

The songs on the album are:

Barometer Soup
Barefoot Children
Bank of Bad Habits
Remittance Man
Diamond As Big As The Ritz
Blue Heaven Rendezvous
Jimmy Dreams
Lage Nom Ai
Don't Chu-Know   (<-the song he played on David Letterman last night)
Ballad of Skip Wiley
The Night I Painted The Sky
Mexico           (<- yup, that is James Taylor's song, Mexico)

    

    For those who are in the central Mass. area, the album went on sale
    August 1st at all Lechmere stores for $10.99 (CD).
    
    I got mine last night at the Warwick Lechmere; alas, didn't have time
    to give it a listen yet.  Just wait till tonight!
    
    						--Eric--

    Re. last two
    
    Finally was able to sit down and listen closely to "Barometer Soup"
    last night.  I like it a LOT!
    
    It seems a more cohesive album than his last one ("Fruitcakes"); I ran
    through the first five or six tracks thinking "Wow, these are ALL great
    songs..." - something that seldom happens 'cause there are usually
    rough spots in the album that have to grow on me.
    
    Favorite tracks so far are the title track, "Bank Of Bad Habits" (the
    obligatory party song) "Blue Heaven Rendezvous" (a tribute to a Key
    West bar that's lost in the 1970s), "The Ballad Of Skip Wiley" and
    his cover of James Taylor's "Mexico" - the rest of the album is ex-
    cellent, but these tracks really shine!
    
    The liner notes includes lyrics, a brief note about each song's origin
    (as in the boxed set - hooray!) and a nice dedication to a few of
    Jimmy's Key West friends.
    
    VERY highly recommended album - get it!
    
    						--Eric--
    
    

    
    After hearing "Don't Chu-Know" on David Letterman, I wasn't too sure
    I would like this album as much as J.B.'s others.
    
    Well, I must admit I really like this album alot, especially "Diamond As Big
    As The Ritz", "Barefoot Children", and the remake of "Mexico".
    
    As with reply .-1, I really enjoyed reading the footnotes as to
    why the song was written,etc.
    

    
    	Great album!  Can't wait for the concert in a couple of weeks!
    	Now I just have to figure out how to put "Barometer Soup" on
    	the upper portion of the windshield on the rent-a-van.  Fruitcakes
    	was much easier last year on the bright yellow Penske van. :^)

        Jamaican police almost killed Jimmy.  I've heard various
        accounts---here's one someone sent me from the internet:
    
        
       ". . . escaped death yesterday when police gunmen opened fire on
       their plane---just seconds after they left the aircraft. The musicians,
       their families and country star JIMMY BUFFET landed on a small
       paradise island in Jamaica when cops started shooting, wrongly
       suspecting they were smuggling drugs. Bono, his wife ALI
       HEWSON and their frightened children JORDAN, six, and
       three-year-old EVE, dived for cover as the bullets
       whizzed overhead.  The group were arriving for a holiday with their
       ISLAND RECORDS boss CHRIS BLACKWELL on his Caribbean
       estate.  A spokesman for U2 admits they had been very frightened.
       He says, "The authorities are taking the matter very seriously and
       have apologized."  And Jamaican police commissioner TREVOR
       McMILLAN adds he has already spoken to the group. "I spoke to a
       number of people from the party, including the U2 stars," he says.
       "The singer was upset, obviously, but they understood the situation.
       "We regret the whole situation. We are very fortunate nobody
       was injured and everyone is safe and well."
    
    
       They were VERY fortunate nobody was injured.

    >   their families and country star JIMMY BUFFET landed on a small

    This is it -- after nearly three years of Parrothead madness and
    missed chances to see Buffett at Great Woods, I am ready to pull out
    all the stops to get some good tickets.  I need some advice from those
    who have "plowed the seas" before me....
    
    1. Where in central/southern Mass. is a good place to buy tickets?
    2. Will it be necessary to "camp out" at said ticket office to ensure
       getting tickets?  (I only need to get two!)
    3. Does anyone know when this summer's tour tix go on sale yet??
    
    Please respond - I had several people in the past two years who have
    PROMISED to get me tickets and they let me down;  I can see now that
    I'd better do it myself if I want any chance of success!

    						--Eric & Betty--
    					(2/3 of the band "Durango Mango")
    
    P.S.  If we ARE successful at getting tickets, I'll be needing some
    advice about the actual concert procedure (beverage policy, pre- or
    post-concert picnic, good arrival times, etc. etc. )

Get to a Ticketshafter before the tickets go on sale and wait in line.  They 
will sell tickets to people on the phones and at each outlet until the tickets
are gone.  I got to the front of the line 2 minutes after they started selling
tickets for Lou Reed at the Orpheum and got center seats in the next to last
row.  The first person in line got tickets in fifth row center.  Clapton can 
sell out a place like the Centrum in less than 10 minutes.

    re: Great Woods tickets

    You might be in luck.  From what I heard, Great Woods is owned by
    the same person starting the new ticket agency, NEXT (see attached).
    If so, then GW tickets will be sold thru NEXT, which claims it will
    be fair and not give in to scalpers like Ticketbastar, er, Ticketmaster ;-)

    Waiting in line guarantees nothing.  I was 2nd in line for Plant/Page
    at a Ticketmaster and got seats waaaay in the back... it isn't right.
    Hopefully this type of thing won't happen in the future, but I'm
    probably overly optimistic.

    I thought I'd post this in a separate note so that it wouldn't get 
    purged when the GIG note gets cleaned out.
    
   IMPORTANT NOTE:  A few weeks ago, a new company, NEXT, was announced that
	is going to be competing with Ticketmaster.  Well, it's here and
	some of the shows going on sale this weekend are going through
	NEXT.  (By the way, NEXT stands for New England Express Ticketing.)  

	To reach NEXT's automated system with a touch-tone phone ($4.75 
	service charge per ticket bought + $2 handling fee per order), call 
	617-423-NEXT.  To use a real person ($5.75 service charge per ticket 
	+ $2 handling fee), call 617-423-6000.  

	Also, you can use the normal box offices (no service charge) or go 
	to a NEXT outlet ($4 service charge per ticket).  The outlets are 
	at the Newbury Comics on Newbury Street as well as the Newbury Comics 
	in Harvard Square, Natick, Burlington, Braintree, Shrewsbury, Saugus, 
	Warwick RI and Nashua NH; the Orpheum Theatre and Great Woods box 
	office will also sell NEXT tickets (but maybe only to their own 
	venues' events?).  

	NEXT is at http://www.boston.com/next, but no tickets will be 
	available through the Internet at this time.  

	Other NEXT phone numbers:  
	   Customer service (for issues involving tickets you've already 
	      bought) is at 617-368-9400.  
	   The pre-recorded information line is at 617-679-0800 (the 
	      information at this line seems to be the same as at 423-NEXT, 
	      but you can't order tickets through the information line).
