The Winter Carnival opened in St. Paul today (1/26), and sculptures normally created
in ice have been made of giant snow mounds similar to sand castle building.

This is the Margaritaville sculpture that includes palm trees and the Hemisphere
Dancer. Inspiration for the next big snow storm!

The Key West Citizen Newspaper has a mention of Buffett in the “This Day in History” section:

On this day in 1988, Jimmy Buffett, local resident and nationally known singer, presented Mayor Richard Heyman with a check for $15,000 toward the purchase of the Salt Ponds and a check of $2,700 for use of Wickers Field, where the Salt Ponds benefit concert was held.

We all know that Jimmy is an avid pilot and that BuffettWorld has supplied a lot of information about Buffett’s passion for flying.

The Aviation section of BW has been re-done and now includes separate pages for each airplane with some great new pics that most of you probably haven’t seen (I personally like the one of his Falcon jet landing over the turquoise waters of the Caribbean).

The Time After Island Time Radio Program is very proud to present Part One of a 2-part special on Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Recording Artist and sometime actor Wesley Cook. Wesley Cook’s cover of “He Went to Paris,” has lead some music fans to say…”Who was that?” The single debuted first on a Time After Island Time in commemoration of Jimmy Buffett’s Sixtieth Birthday.

SO WHO IS WESLEY COOK? What is unique about Wesley Cook is his profoundly deep and well-constructed lyrics. The variety of music he composes is more diverse than most artists you will ever encounter. Growing up in foreign countries, he captured many influences from around the world. But you will find some of his songs to be folk, some blues, some rock, and a healthy dose of beautiful ballads. His depth of thinking and writing, as well as ambition leaves some a bit surprised when they find out how young he is. Watch out for Wesley- he’s going to be big.

We welcome him on TAIT for a very intimate conversation and some unplugged acoustic guitar playing and singing. Be prepared to hear a troubadour you will not soon forget! Tune in from anywhere in the world via Radio JimmyDreamz.

Neil Finn, former front man for Crowded House, compliments Jimmy on his cover of “Weather With You” from his new album “Take The Weather With You” in an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Still a standout is “Weather With You,” which Crowded House released in 1991 and which enjoyed a new life last year as the title track of Jimmy Buffett’s latest album.

“And I like that he did it. I don’t know much of his stuff, but he’s obviously got a very big fan base. He does huge shows. So I’m really happy he’s taken that song on. Good on him! I look forward to meeting him. I’ll give him a big thank-you for certain.”
