The examiner.com has a review of Thursday’s show at the Jones Beach Theater in Wantaugh: “Jimmy Buffett serves up Summerzcool at Jones Beach, remembers Ted Kennedy”
Jimmy Buffett served up a delicious mix of old and new music last night at Jones Beach Theater in Wantaugh, perhaps one of the best venues to see his set of beach-laden, sea-loving odes. While Buffett brings his own stage backdrop of the wave-crashing ocean and is backed by a 10-piece band and two backup singers on a stage filled with palm trees and an overall beach theme, it’s not really needed for the Long Island show.
The Wednesday night show was especially poignant given that sailing aficionado and fellow Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy had passed away the previous night. Buffett concluded his song “Son of a Sailor” with a few photos of Kennedy on his favorite wooden sailing schooner “Mya” off the Massachusetts coast with the saying, “Sail on, Teddy.”
