2009 Buffett at Nissan ... It was a great, great time, with everyone who came for the Thursday show ... our group was small, but BIG on friendship and fun!

Partying with purpose for the Susan G Koman Fund

Members phlocked into Dave's Taverna in Harrisonburg on March 5th to celebrate 4 years as the Shenandoah Valley's only Parrot Head Club.

She Really Really Wants To Rock!

The Queen B of GG wants to make sure you remember that she is not only an actress, but a singer as well. Last month, Leighton Meester's single song, Birthday, was "leaked" onto the internet. We liked it enough. While shooting a music video for Cobra Starship, MTV caught up with Blair to ask about her upcoming album. She assured them that it was on its way, dropping sometime… Continue

This past year 2008 "Little Feat" released their latest CD "Join The Band", that featured Jimmy Buffett on "Time Loves A Hero". Th… Continue

Outer Banks Fins

After reading Jimmy's diary about his time on the Outer Banks, I'm thinking the Fins should think about a vacation on the Outer Banks. Although it's a complete reversal of the usual Fins of the Valley 'outing' -- not exactly a trip to a Buffett concert at Nissan, or a Parrothead weekend adjustment. But to me, it would be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy another side to the 'tropical attitude' ... another harbor, in a different light, far away from those crowds. I get a yearning for the OBX ("Out… Continue

On the Phone

Among my favorite Buffett tunes is "Everybody's on the Phone" It's a lot of fun, and really sums up today's society's love affair with the wireless world. Everybody's on the Phone (play) (Buffett/Will Kimbrough) Message in a bottle, rhythm of a drum Smoke signals and telegraphs make the airwaves hum But that's all ancient history like bongs and Lincoln Logs Now we livin' like the Jetsons in a wireless wacky fog Squawkin' tal… Continue

FRUITCAKES
You know I was talking to my friend Desdemona the other day. She runs this space station and bake shop down near boomtown. She told me that human beings are flawed individuals. The cosmic bakers took us out of the oven a little too early -- and thats the reason were as crazy as we are.
And I believe it.
