Fair Winds and following seas, Jimmy. It was a "lovely cruise" indeed. Jimmy was part of the soundtrack for my life starting back in my college years in the late 70s. For some reason, I kinda drifted away from his music during the 1980s, but a PBS special back in 1992 called Jimmy Buffett ...

Rest in Power and in Peace, Johnny Clegg.

I used to live on Long Island so Jones Beach was my "home" venue, from 1993-2015 I only missed 1 Buffett show there. I missed 2016, went in 2017, didn't go last year and I'm not going this year. There have been more and more people there every year who just show up for the tailgate so the...

Tee hee! Way to troll the Trumpsters and "Red Tide Rick", Jimmy!!

I saw him at Forest Hills Stadium, NYC in June 2017. Superlative. You're in for a real treat. As for the CD, only 10 tracks, but at least 2 hits for the charts ("My Mind Is For Sale", "Big Sur"), and no real filler. The last track "Fragments" is from the documentary Smo...

Before discovering Jimmy Buffett and his CILCIA album, Steely Dan was the soundtrack for me during my college years in the 1970s. Shortly after, the old progressive rock station (R.I.P.) WLIR-FM, New York did a multi-part interview with Steely Dan's producer, Gary Katz; a real coup back then since i...

Sail On, Rhinestone Cowboy.

I remember watching his variety show all those years ago. Great talent and great music.

Peaceful Journey, Coach Parseghian.

I grew up watching you and Notre Dame football (Armenian ethnic pride and all that).

All these decades later, your teaching, coaching and integrity still stands out.

It must have been around the year 1999 that I first heard of Jim Morris and checked out his website. Reading through his notes and lyrics, I knew even before I bought my first CD that I was going to enjoy his music. We "MetroNuts" (NYC area) had the pleasure of hosting him both as solo aco...

Damn. Can't believe it, and can't wrap my brain around it.

Besides the Eagles, I loved his work with the Miami Vice TV series:

Oh, damn.
Just can't wrap my brain around it.
