The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

It started out w his trio playing
an odd type intermission for Buffett. That became awkward
and for those years you mentioned he appeared by himself on certain songs
during JB's show.

My son & I caught the "UNDER THE BIG TOP" tour in Portland some years ago
and we were introduced to Margaritaville! Guests of the tour assembled BEFORE
the performance and mingled with their performing friends in a sizeable room where
everything served was private labeled "Margaritaville." That included all the alcohol,
chips, dips and novelty souvenirs. Sonny met us and we enjoyed a few minutes before
he introduced us to the "salt & pepper" duo who were Jimmy's long time back up singers.
The band was loaded with the best guys you could hire including Robert Greenidge on steel drums
and the legendary Ralph Macdonald who played congas and all other percussion.
