From Uncle Jim Mayer (as emailed from Little Flock
Music) -

Hi everybody!

I’m very excited to announce the unveiling of a sneak
peek CD, featuring selected tracks from the upcoming
CD/DVD “Let There Be Fun.” It has six new songs on it
and is only $5!

The songs are:
1. I’m So Happy
2. I’ve Got a Butt
3. Hula Hoopin’ World
4. Skunk in the Road
5. I’m 4 U
6. Everybody Needs a Chair

The CD is for all ages. Some of the songs are
especially for us kids who have been around a few more
years than those younger kids!

This pre-release CD will make its debut at Meeting Of The Minds! If
you stop by the Little Flock Artist Meet & Greet,
immediately following the Peter Mayer Group show (on
Friday night, at the Casa Marina), I’ll be happy to
autograph copies for all the Schmoopies on your
holiday gift giving list! This CD will also be
available on my website www.UncleJimRocks.com starting
the week after MOTM.

Rock on!

Uncle Jim

The tour continues on Thursday night in Chula Vista, California and the second Las Vegas show is Saturday the 28th.

Jimmy Buffett was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame on Sunday night during a ceremony at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel. Sunday night, duo Big & Rich joined Marshall Chapman, Buzz Cason and Don Light in honoring Buffett. Buffett got up after the speech and musical tribute, by which time Light, his old friend and agent, had already put his honor into perspective: “This is not the last Hall of Fame into which he will be inducted, but I think it’s really appropriate that it’s the first.”

For his part, Buffett offered good humor along with appreciation. After Big & Rich sang “Margaritaville,” Buffett joked, “Hugh Prestwood gets Trisha Yearwood and I get these clowns.” Later Buffett said, “I never got in it to become big and rich, but, what the . . . , it happened.”

The tour continues on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Buffett’s new album “Take The Weather With You” debuts at #4 in its first week on the Billboard 200 chart with 120,592 copies (about half of what License to Chill sold its first week). It was enough to put him #1 though on the Top Country Albums chart.

Beating out Buffett on the Billboard 200 was Rod Stewart, Evanescence, and Lloyd Banks (1,2,3 respectively).

Update – Billboard has an article on the week’s top sellers: “Rod Rocks Back With Fourth No. 1 Album”.

From Radio Margaritaville:

Start time for Thursday’s Santa Barbara concert is 7:00pm Pacific. Therefore the preshow on Radio Margaritaville/SIRIUS is 9:30pm Eastern/6:30 Pacific. This is good news for those expecting to stay up late on the East Coast.

Miles Hampton will be hosting the pre-show for the concert, as Savannah Buffett has previous commitments.
