BuffettNews.com - Jimmy in St Barths



Jimmy in St Barths


News from St. Hazards has some articles and pictures of the 60th Anniversary of LeSelect:

"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!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009




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!

TropiCast FAQs

What is The TropiCast Radio Network?

TropiCast is a network of audio and video podcasts as well as streaming radio dedicated to promoting the current and future stars of the musical genre known as "Trop Rock". The Network also features the Trop Rock News Wire, an RSS news feed featuring all the news and information we receive from the artists we play, various Parrot Head clubs and other organizations that like us, have taken up the Trop Rock cause. We also now feature a Trop Rock event calendar that features listings for these artists and events. TropiCast can be accessed from these very pages, iTunes and numerous other "podcast" directories.

What is "Trop Rock"?

"Trop Rock" is a genre of music, or collection of genres all tied together by stories of tropical islands, sun soaked beaches, string bikinis and the search for the perfect boat drink. We take what Jimmy Buffett started and run with it.

Do I need an iPod to listen?

NO! The term "podcast" was coined by Adam Curry (you know, the guy from MTV with the big hair.) who actually first experimented with the concept of an entire program enclosed in one big audio file. The TropiCast Podcasts are MP3 files and can be played and listened to on ANY computer, ANY portable digital audio player or burned to a disc and listened to on ANY CD player.
So when we say Enjoy! We mean it.

As a matter of fact, find an episode on the player up above that looks interesting, press play, give it a minute to download and you can listen right here!

How Can I Get Listed?

Are you a Trop Rock artist, Parrot Head Club or other Trop related organization that wants to use the TropiCast Network to get the word out? Simply add jimmypirate@piratedreams.com to your current emailing list and we'll do the rest.

How Can I Get Played?

We're always looking for the newest Trop Rock releases to introduce to our listeners. Are you a Tropical Troubadour, a Calypsonut, and beach bum or trop rocker? Send us your latest release and we'll expose you....

Send it off to:

The TropiCast Radio Network
194 Humboldt Ave.
Angola, NY 14006

Got digital files? Zap off an email to jimmypirate@piratedreams.com
and we'll let you know how to get them to us.

Interested in advertising?

Podcasts are permanent. People will be downloading these shows virtually forever. Podcast advertising with The TropiCast Radio Network is an extremely economical way of getting your message out to a very specific group of people. email us and we'll put together a package for you.
