I pretend this is moment Jimmy read my tweet.

Last night I watched the StageIt concert with Jimmy Buffett and it was so very cool.

The StageIt crew (along with Evan Lowenstein) set up in Jimmy’s dressing room at Comerica Park in Detroit.

Mike Utley hung out and Matt Hoggatt showed up to sing one of his songs.

Jimmy sang Tin Cup Chalice and Boat Drinks. He also read tweets aloud as they went by and now everyone watching knows I was eating soup right before the show.

( I didn’t know Jimmy would see the pre-show tweets or I would have, you know, sent something clever or cool…or just not weird)

The show was a lot of fun and Jimmy raised over 20,000 for charity. Yea!

In the world of music blogs -

Emma Warren from Music and Words by Emma Warren described the opening ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics and went over a good bit of the music played for the event.

Eddie Baranak from The Sights is keeping a tour diary.  His latest entry has quite a few photos and general ‘on the road’ stuff.
