Buffett in Brisbane

I was a young 14 years of age when I attended my first Buffett concert.  It was at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson and I was with my best friend, Amy Sefick.  Many, many concerts would follow over the years.  I married a “parrothead”, so the trips to concerts continued. I have seen him in Charlotte, Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, and now Brisbane.  The acoustic concert with Mac MacAnally last night may have been my all-time favorite.  It was not a typical Buffett concert. A stage was literally plopped down in the middle of the botanical gardens. The setting could not have been more beautiful! Instead of the usual crowd of thousands, I would be surprised if the crowd last night reached one thousand. Lawn chairs were tied together for the seating area. Instead of a huge band with dancing girls, the stage held Jimmy, Mac, their guitars, and a percussionist.  The stars were glistening, the moon was shining, and the music was incredible. I have to say, it was a perfect night.

The pictures below don’t do the concert any justice, but I thought I would share. I had to pick the video clips carefully. I need to remember NOT to sing when I am recording a video! I have attached a video to my facebook page of Jimmy's additional lyrics to Margaritaville. The video was too long for me to download to my computer...well, I couldn't figure it out.
