“Tell WIS which Parrothead plate you prefer”

Jimmy Buffett ‘phans’ are paying up to help Alzheimer research efforts.

A final design for the plates hasn’t been approved yet, the choices being considered are pictured below. Organizers will make the final decision on the design used.

Billboard Article on Live at Wrigley DVD

July 18th, 2006


Billboard has an article on Buffett’s Live at Wrigley DVD which comes out August 1st.

Less than a year after releasing the CD/DVD “Live at Fenway Park,” Jimmy Buffett will release a two-DVD set chronicling a stop at baseball’s other pre-eminent shrine: Chicago’s Wrigley Field. “Live at Wrigley Field” will arrive Aug. 1 via Buffett’s own Mailboat label.

The DVDs will contain 26 songs from Buffett’s two-day doubleheader at the 92-year-old home of the Cubs, culled from two September 2005 shows. The set includes covers of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days” and Steve Goodman’s “City of New Orleans,” performed by Buffett and guitarist Mac McAnally from the bleachers, as well as ukelele virtuoso Jake Shimabakuro’s pre-show version of the national anthem.

Also included are backstage extras, footage of construction of the centerfield stage and a handful of bonus features. The release marks the first time a full-length Buffett concert has been available on DVD.

Update: Although not mentioned in track listings, Buffett’s performance of “Glory Days” will be included on Live at Wrigley Field as a bonus cut.

Galveston Loves Buffett

July 17th, 2006


The Galveston County Daily News has an article on Buffett being the winner when residents were asked “If Galveston were a famous person, who would it be, and why?”

Topping the list of responses was — drum roll, please — Jimmy Buffett, the laid-back singer who has made a fortune selling CDs to his legion of baby boomer fans known as Parrotheads, singing oddball ditties about drinking, hamburgers and hanging around the beach.
