I've been a parrothead since long before we were called parrotheads -- probably seen JB and the Reefers forty times -- love them -- love the music - love the good times
oh wow...... I remember The Reefer Band playing at the University of West Fla in Pensacola in Jan 1975....... maybe 250 people, in the gym.... Buffet stayed on stage the whole 3 hours while the band took a break. What a great show, and great memories! My roomie & I were out getting coffee the next morning & invited the band back to our dorm for beverages...... (14'x14' dorm room), spacious! That was the year it snowed in the Bahamas! Yeah, we DID look like that then. THANKS for the footage.....
FANTASTIC! So Jimmy! and that looked similar to the Country Music Festival Venue in Baton Rouge that you and the Reefers and Fingers used to play at. The outdoors arena affect. Super!
Incredible old home movies of Jimmy touring his arse off back in the day. I have never seen this before. After reading so much about him and his life. It's nice to have a visual reference to everything I read and gives me real insight to how it was for him back then. Thank you for posting.
Keep on going Jimmy. You & I are the same age, and I've been a Parrothead since before there were Pheads. I think we were just called boat bums back then. There was the sea, women, boat drinks, etc.. I don't remember what we did for music before you came along.
I always just take it for granted that you're coming back with another tour....thanks for all the great shows so far. Looking forward to the BIG TOP TOUR this year.
There is lot more to the story than just playing in the stairwell. He had to call the cops on me! I never got to thank him for that. If he had not done that, I would not be here today. I was very lucky that he did what he did.
Wow! Sarah here! The very first, original Mrs. Fing.
Roger, thanks for posting this, talk about flashback!
I was looking for something with my 17 year old son and the video came up! He really about lost it because that's how old I was in the video!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lickety Split is the first song, off Roger Bartlett's new album "Groovey Boy." Dixie Diner is playing during the concert sequence from the "Reunion... Live at the Windjammer" CD, and Groovey Boy, from the album mentioned above, at the end of the video.
The Soul Pumpkin is in our thoughts every day, especially on Aug. 1, 2009 while listening to the Mad Beach Band at the Newport Opera House in Newport, NH. I don't know where I'ma gonna go when the volcano blows! We miss you Harry!
Roger, I am glad I found this. The last photo I have of Harry was when he was best man at my wedding. This is the Harry I knew aand loved from growing up in Falls Church VA!

I have to wonder if Fingers Taylor remembers playing the harp in the stairwell of the dorm and USM in Hattiesburg in 1972!!

Those must've been the days! As one of Jimmy's songs says, "Ahh, the stories we could tell" The music is great.

He's still great. You should check out his new stuff. I think his album, "Take the Weather with You" is one of the best he's ever done.
