"Jimmy Buffett Show in St. Barths": The big Jimmy Buffett show with the Coral Reefer Band to celebrate the 60th anniversary of LeSelect went on yesterday, Saturday, on the harbor. Jimmy put on a two hour concert that had all of the favorites and some new songs. And all for his friend Marius.

"Jimmy Buffett at Le Select on Sunday": The owner of Le Select in St. Barths, Marius Stakelborough, finished his three day celebration of his 60th anniversary in grand style on Sunday. His good friend Jimmy Buffett stopped by to shoot the champagne cork at a bee that hangs over the bar - a very long tradition at Le Select.

Billy Craig: Make a wish!

I'm approaching you today to ask for your support..... it's not much, just 99 cents to download a song for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, with all proceeds going to them!

 

Quick story.........I had the pleasure of performing at a Make-A-Wish event last summer.   After performing and meeting some of the great kids and the great people of this organization, I was moved and found myself wanting to do something more to help this awesome cause.

 

Driving home from the event, I wrote a song that I thought was so appropriate and went into the studio to produce it.  It's called MAKE A WISH.

 

Each line of the verse signifies a different wish for a well deserving child and of course the chorus is Make A Wish..............It's available on itunes, amazon.com and Rhapsody for 99 cents and the funds will go to making dreams come true for kids with life-threatening medical conditions.

 

Here are the links…………

http://mp3.rhapsody.com/billy-craig/make-a-wish/make-a-wish  

 

If I could ask………

 

Please take a moment to purchase the song and forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to forward it as well with a personalized note.

 

Lastly, if you know anyone that can do a company-wide email, mass email or anyone in the media please forward this to them with the idea.

 

Thank you so much!
