Re: Jimmy's Guitars (current and past)

A wonderful Martin it is, especially for a Jimmy fan. Not only are you getting a fabulous guitar, you are also getting a unique collector piece. Three years ago, these were going to $3-4k. Now they regularly go for $5-6k. I have owned three (inlcuding the two above) over the past three years. Sold t...

Re: Most Improved Buffett Songs?

For me, I think his acoustic version of Nautical Wheelers has gotten better than the original (not that the original was bad). I think he really enjoys performing that song. Also, Distantly In Love rings a bell. I love the Live in Anguilla version of it as opposed to the original. To contrast, he ab...

Re: Anyone know why Toyota Park (Il) concert is not sold out?

I just talked to a few friends tonight who are huge parrotheads, They like me, refuse to go to Toyota Park because of the sound and everything.... Yet you have other friends who think the sound at Toyota Park is much better and have liked the venue a lot. All of the shows I have been to at Toyota P...

Re: Anyone know why Toyota Park (Il) concert is not sold out?

I agree with the above. Totyota Park never sells out. Part of it probably has to do with ticket prices that are higher for that venue (not sure why), but also that the venue itself is not the most condusive to host a Buffett show considering there is no lawn! My group of friends (we had 32 people fo...

Re: New Jimmy Buffett model Martin guitar

Goodness!!! Thanks for all this info about Jimmy 1st Signature Martin and its current going price. I ordered mine on 8/7/98. Can't remember exactly when I picked it up, but paid a whopping $2555 + tax sometime in 1998. I know I have a note saying it was backordered for 1 month. It's #42 of the 424 ...

Re: New Jimmy Buffett model Martin guitar

Hey Pedal Pusher, Thanks for the compliments. The Shellback is an awesome guitar. I might even go as far as saying maybe my favorite, but that is a tough call. Anyway ,I follow them constantly, so I will keep you in mind. There is one on Ebay for sale but his asking price is a little on the high sid...

Re: Requested Buffett Merchandise

I wish there were more show DVDs available similar to the ones they play on loop at the Margaritaville restaurants. I know the footage is out there, but they don't make it available for the general public. I would probably buy one for every live show I attended. If they *really* wanted to make a pi...

Very Cool, Behind-The-Scenes Crossroads Pictures - JB & ZBB

First off - these are not my pictures nor am I claiming them to be mine. But, I really wish they were. These are from a very fortunate person that posted in another forum who is personal friends with ZB. Here is his post from another, non-Buffett related forum. Quite a few guitar pics, but lots of o...

Re: This is getting a bit old

"Phony outrage" in general is getting old. Walmart hatred is much to do about nothin' imo. I'll have to hit Wally World later and pick it up. Gotta say, I tend to agree with you, but the guy does have a bit of a reason to be a little ticked off given that he doesn't have his CD and (if) t...

Re: Why should Buffett be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Does he belong? I don't know. But if Buffett makes it before Rush, I will think the whole think is totally a joke (more so than I already do). No offense to Jimmy, but going strickly on music, Rush has put out close to the same number of studio albums and has certainly influenced many musicians thr...

Re: Why should Buffett be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Probably because he doesn't fall into the following criteria as identified by the Rock and Roll HOF. While he covers a lot of Rock & Roll, I am not quite sure how Jimmy Buffett has influenced the R&R music genre in any way. He is nowhere in the same league as The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, T...

I'm guessing that Sam's Club is considered WalMart for this purpose (because I will NEVER go into another WALMART if I can help it...bad experience at one several years ago....)? Sam's Club is a wholly-owned, reporting segment operated by Walmart. It should be considered Walmart for all purposes. I...
