In November, Jimmy Buffett played a show at Le Select to celebrate their 60th anniversary. While there, Jimmy was thrilled to see himself on the wall next to one of his musical idols:

No award will beat the honour a St Barts bar gave Jimmy Buffett – the owners placed his album poster next to one advertising Bob Marley’s masterpiece Catch A Fire on their wall.

The Margaritaville hitmaker visited Le Select bar during a trip to the Caribbean years ago and was staggered to find his Son of a Son of a Sailor album on the place’s hitlist.

Buffett says, “On the wall there were two posters next to each other – one for Marley’s Catch a Fire, and the other was of my album. They’re still up there.

“I don’t win many awards, and I don’t care, but I take a lot of pride in that spot on the wall.”

The website is now up for Jimmy Buffett’s new line of flavored iced teas that we first reported on in September. Check it out at ParadiseKeyTeas.com

Grab a Margaritaville Paradise Key Tea and savor the island lifestyle wherever you may be. Made with all-natural ingredients and sweetened with a touch of pure cane sugar, Paradise Key Teas are available in four delicious flavors.

Serve chilled, straight from the bottle or pour in a glass over ice and garnish with your favorite tropical fruits to capture the revitalizing flavors of the islands.

Paradise Key Teas – an instant latitude adjustment!

The teas will be available to sample at the four February shows that were announced last week.

Paradise Key Teas is also on Facebook. Check them out here and while you’re there be sure to become a fan of BuffettWorld too.

Congratulations to Rick for winning the latest Jimmy Buffett Caption Contest!

A week ago we showed you the below picture of Jimmy with Kinky Friedman:

We asked you to come up with your own caption for the photo, and then put the best up in a poll for everyone to vote on. Here was Rick’s winning caption:

“C’mon Jimmy let’s sing the 5 dollar foot long song together”

Rick received 32% of the vote, but Jay wasn’t far behind with 112 votes for “Ok, ok Jimmy. When I am elected governor, we will rename the capital Margaritaville.” View all the results here.

Thanks to everyone who participated and we’ll do another caption contest again soon!

On Friday night Jimmy Buffett performed at his Hawaiian restaurant Jimmy Buffett’s At The Beachcomber along with Jake Shimabukuro, Robert Greenidge, and Mac McAnally.
