Programming Note

    Yikes! Looks like no shows for October.
    We got distracted by Detroit Tigers’ post-season baseball, to be honest, and even though they generously bowed out of the World Series as quickly as possible, tonight is Halloween and we’ll be too busy eating the candy we’re supposed to be handing out.
    High hopes for November, though.

“Quiet About It”

    We’ll be back after this commercial break…

Album includes Jimmy in a studio version of “Gentleman of Leisure”

    From Mailboat Records. Available now as a digital download. Available on CD September 25 2012. Read more about the album or pre-order it at Mailboat Records.com (or click the above image to get it now from iTunes).

Let the Games Begin

    Yeah, I heard there’s some worldwide sporting event going on, but for me tonight’s opening ceremonies were for tomorrow’s Comerica Park show and involved watching Jimmy Buffett and Mike Utley broadcast a video chat from backstage, on StageIt.com.
    Jimmy gave a spoiler about tomorrow’s setlist (about “All Night Long” specifically), played “Tin Cup Chalice” (by request) and “Boat Drinks” (for Hockeytown), and welcomed special guest Matt Hoggatt.
    Jimmy also gave away a Landshark surfboard and Frozen Concoction Makers to the highest bidder. The show lasted about thirty-five minutes and was a very cool way to start this weekend’s festivities.
    Fins Up!

“Welcome…to Comerica Park,” says Richard Attenborough to Sam Neill

Jimmy reads my tweet!

Where’s the Party?

    We’ve been wondering what Comerica Park has planned for Jimmy’s big stadium show this Saturday, and it looks like today’s Detroit Free Press might have answered all of Schmoe’s questions.
