Episode 255: A Constant Pour at Kona Joe’s

Show Notes:
Recorded Thursday, March 23 2023 (8:00 PM – 12:30 AM)
     “Vacations, March Madness play-by-play, and concert roundups from all five February Buffett shows.”

     If you notice a difference at 48:57, it’s because the clip comes from much later in the recording (and we wanted to avoid too many endings).

An audio version is provided as well…

Show Notes:
Recorded Tuesday, July 26 2022 (8:00 PM – 11:25 PM)

     Mike wanted to recommend these two articles, but it didn’t make the final cut:

Before Margaritaville: Jimmy Buffett’s Outlaw Country Underground Years at Yahoo.com
and
‘Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes’: Jimmy Buffett’s Classic at UDiscoverMusic.com.
