The Tennessean has posted their full interview with Jimmy Buffett from a few days ago that was featured in this article about his new Margaritaville Cafe in Nashville.

In the full interview, Jimmy discusses how important Nashville is, and how deep his roots run there. He also talks about why he hasn’t played Nashville in several years (because they closed the outdoor venue).

On performing at the new cafe when it opens, Jimmy says “There’s always that chance. Let’s just say the track record, if you look back, I think I’ve played every one of them. The only one I haven’t played in is Panama City, and I’m going to do that pretty soon. I’ve got to do it when I come in and out. And it’s fun, it’s fun to have people you see there and to go back and do them. I was a bar player from the beginning, and I still kind of think of myself as a bar player.”

The big show finally made it to Florida on Saturday night as Jimmy and the band began the last session of the Summerzcool Tour with a show in Jacksonville, Florida.

The set list featured a few surprises. The first one came early in the set as Jimmy brought back “Window on the World” for the first time since February 10, 2007 in Tallahassee, FL. It was dedicated to the astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour who used the song as a wake up call last week.

Other surprises included a full band version of “Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit,” a beach band version of “Migration,” “Rhumba Man” in the first encore, and a solo version of “Tryin’ to Reason with Hurricane Season” to end the show.

The 2010 Summerzcool Tour continues Tuesday with a show in Columbia, SC. There’s still plenty of time to get your tickets!

Though the Under The Big Top Tour has been announced for this spring and summer, Summerzcool still hasn’t ended. Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will perform tonight at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. It’s the first of four February stops for Jimmy that will mark the end of the Summerzcool Tour that began last April.

You can listen to the show live on Radio Margaritaville on the web or on Sirius 31 / XM 55. The pre-show will begin at 7:00 pm ET, and Jimmy will take the stage shortly after 8:00.

As always we’ll have a chat on our forum during the show. Check it out here.

After Jax, Jimmy will head to Columbia, SC on Tuesday, Orlando on Thursday, and Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday. View the full tour schedule here.
