Your Island Escape Starts Here!

Hey BeachBums and Parrotheads,

Recently we lost an icon of our community.  Mystery and Adventure Author, Songwriter and friend of Jimmy Buffett.

Tom Corcoran - may you Rest in Peace my friend.

Here is a tweet Jimmy Buffett posted a couple of years ago.

Thanks to Tom Corcoran for opening the photo journal up and telling some of these tales. For the record - every Key West / JB fan needs a copy of Tom's book, 'Jimmy Buffett The Key West Years' 

Written by Tom Corcoran, Jimmy’s longtime photographer and co-lyricist of “Cuban Crime of Passion” and Fins,” the 64-page trade paperback includes over three dozen photos from 1971 onward. It’s the perfect handbook for fans and Key West visitors. Plenty of “stories we can tell” and details about JB’s life away from the rock-and-roll trail. Readers will gain insight to song lyrics, lifestyle, hangouts, and the 35-year love affair between Jimmy Buffett and the city at the end of road.

I would like to share with you something very profound that Michelle Orlandi Becker posted just recently. I have felt this way about Musicians for a long time. A gentleman by the name of David Ackert wrote this article that was published in the LA Times in April of 2013. . . . . .

“Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.”

- David Ackert, LA Times, April 5, 2013

Welcome to our latest Sponsor - - -

The Colebrookdale Railroad !!!  

Website: colebrookdalerailroad.com    or click HERE

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to travel on a train back in time to when the country was being explored by our early pioneers?

Experience the wonder and splendor of the bygone era of the Titanic (1900 to 1916) aboard the Colebrookdale Railroad. Travel Through Pennsylvania's Secret valley, enjoy a five star meal, listen to the grand piano, or sip a specialty cocktail as the train crosses tall timber trestles and deep rock cuts on one of the northeast's most scenic journeys unspoiled by time. The Colebrookdale's Secret Valley looks much the same today as it would to the iron-willed pioneers who first ventured along its cold, rushing creeks three centuries ago. Santa trains, foliage trains, and a host of special events make the Colebrookdale Railroad perfect for making lasting memories.

Visit colebrookdalerailroad.com and book your trip today for the adventure of a lifetime into the past. 

Read more about this unique Train Adventure in Pennsylvania's Secret valley aboard the Colebrookdale Railroad right HERE.
