Reviving the Coast

[Tom Smedley]

I found new respect for Jimmy Buffet tonight. Of course, Baldwin County is his home. I liked the way the put local folks like Mac McAnally on the stage. He also gave credit where credit is due to those who "write the songs" when he let Jesse Winchester croon about Mississippi. The whole show was great and by the crowd ...a total success. Jimmy, I too, hope I am around when the coast is clear.

Jimmy gave lots of credit to those who helped him along the way. When he was busking in New Orleans Jerry Jeff Walker gave him a ride to Key West - thus his tropical style of music and eventual grand success. Perhaps Jerry Jeff should have been there to pay tribute to BPs efforts to stop the flow of oil with one of his most famous songs (often heard at Vortoberfest) - You know - the one about "Pissing in the Wind."

A Great show here is the last televised song. When the Coast Is Clear

Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain tickets to the show. Looked like a great time! And then, just to pour salt in a wound, CMT stopped broadcasting the show at the intermission?! That sucked! I would liked to have seen the rest of it. They stopped broadcasting the concert and started running the movie "Maverick". I imagine CMT viewership dropped like a stone at that point. I know I changed the channel.

It reminded me of when you are having a cookout and a couple of your friends break out their guitars and start picking. Just taking turns singing and drinking a couple of cool drinks.

And it wasn't an hour more, only fifty-five minutes.

Outstanding show. Best beach party I've been to, well, ever. We watched the recorded CMT broadcast yesterday twice! It was great to see some of those aerial shots and say "hey, we were right over there".

Here's hoping we can get him to do this once a year!!
