Episode 184: Fallow Fall Follow-Up

Show Notes:
Recorded Monday, February 24 2014 at WAOTNC Studios South, Brownstown MI
    “A mini-episode, to share the concert round-ups from Phoenix and Las Vegas.

    As usual, the clip from Phoenix was edited slightly, for pacing reasons (skipping the second verse).
    Re: the Las Vegas round-up: the Willie Nelson story comes from the intro to “Somethin’ ’Bout a Boat”, Utley catching the beach ball is from the intro to “Come Monday”, Shania’s horses were discussed during the “Pencil Thin Mustache” intro (which also began the porch band set), the grog mention is obviously from “Pirate Looks at Forty”, and the “Back Where I Come From” mis-start is not my edit (hence its inclusion).

“I cranked up, and they went crazy”

    Buffett World says there’s a TIME interview with Jimmy Buffett. I paged through my copy but didn’t find it anywhere. Evidently, it’s a web-exclusive, as far as I can tell. It’s a good read; and I was pleased to see he mentions the Comerica Park concert at the end:

I mean, who gets to do this? Detroit went bankrupt, and on the next day we sold 41,000 tickets. And I went, “What the hell am I gonna say?” I’ve always appreciated Michigan audiences, they’ve always been there for me, so I just got up and said, look, there’s a lot of great people in this city and state, you’ve got a good future ahead and why not start the next year with a party? And I cranked up, and they went crazy.
