Parrot Heads: The People under the costumes.More than just fan's of Jimmy Buffett, but a group that Cares for one another:A few years back I started my first adventure on the web creating the infamous "Beer Beard's a Pirates Den" (Now under going a much needed major face lift) I went through some hard times. To make a long story short, just as my site was starting to gain some popularity I lost my job and became unemployed. I was struggling not having any luck finding another job, and with more bills than money I was sinking into a deep depression, and getting ready to lose my I.S.P. I had planned on letting the site just die and fade away, but the friends I had made in the Parrot Head Web Ring would not let me, or my page go down. With little time or notice Lisa Harraden and Donna created a site for me on the spot where the Den currently resides, I had just transferred the last couple of my files when my ISP cut me off. Lisa even tended my page and kept it up for me when I had no way of getting on line, I had to email her using free JUNO mail. I did eventually get back up on my feet, and the web site did have a few moments in the sun, but then too much work took me away again. I have thanked these people before, but I don't think they will ever know how much I still think of them even though I have gotten so busy that I have neglected contact. So Guys this is for you. Some of these people were around when I needed them most, and when the turbulent storms of my personal life raged, their encouragement like a Light House shinned through, and helped me find my way to calmer waters. Bless you all Sam |

New Parrot Head Joins my Phlock:Well the condition is contagious. I have always played Jimmy Buffett in my car, and on my guitar. While my niece Chrissie was just a little kid growing up she always heard Buffett music around me. I would pick her up from school, or tote her and her friends around when my sister needed me to. Chris has always loved the song "Treat Her Like a Lady" and "Brown Eyed Girl" (she thought the song was written especially for her). Last Christmas she got me the CD "Songs You Know by Heart" but before she gave it to me she saw I already had it, so she kept the CD for herself and started listening. That wasn't really enough to make her a parrot head though. I missed the Concert in Atlanta this year (I know, no Excuse, SHAM ON ME !!) , but my niece's dance partner that she takes *Shag Lessons with, had someone back out on him so he had a spare ticket and asked Chris if she would like to go. Chris of course said yes, tenth row seats, she could actually see Buffett's face she was so close. One concert is all it took. When she got back home she asked me if I could give her a formal Buffett Education because she didn't Know all the Songs by Heart, at least the new ones. So an Orthodox Parrot Head if ya ever saw one. And ain't she pretty? And no comments on how she couldn't be related to me. OK. *Shag
