That is when Jimmy learned that they had found a sizeable collection of 1⁄4-inch tapes that were the In This Issue original demos of songs Jimmy had written and recorded for Buzz when he was writing for his publishing company in the late 60’s. It turned out that there were Pg 1: Buried Treasure over 125 songs in that pile of tape boxes. In addition to the song demos were Pg 2: Alzheimer’s Walk also the first recordings Travis Turk had engineered in Mobile, and that is Pg 3: San Diego Show where the whole story of Buried Treasure begins. Pg 4: Hurricane Benefit As Jimmy describes it: “There is a reason we are calling this collection of songs Pg 5: Tilleritaville and stories Buried Treasure – because they were literally buried in a closet in a Pg 6: Margaritaville U recording studio in Nashville for decades. They were discovered by an old friend, Pg 7: Sail On Tom Petty Travis Turk, who actually recorded these tracks in Mobile, Alabama, in 1969, and Pg 8: Sail On Tom Petty more in Nashville in the years following, when we both wound up moving there. Pg 9: Upcoming Events Travis eventually produced the first two albums I recorded in Nashville, as well. Pg 10: August Phlocking When we first found the tapes of Buried Treasure, I didn’t know that it would Pg 11: Phins To The West turn out to be such a unique situation where I’d actually get to honor and Pg 12: The Purple Pig introduce the people who started me out.” Pg 13: July Phlocking Buried Treasure will be available in standard and deluxe packaging.

Members of our club carried our banner and flowers depicting their connection to the dreaded disease. This is a meaningful event for Parrot Heads as Jimmy Buffett lost his father to Alzheimer’s disease and our Club lost long time club member, Nellie Carlen to the disease as well. “Our club walks in this event every year not only to recognize Jimmy’s father and Nellie, but in memory of all of the people we know in our lives that have been effected by Alzheimer’s Disease.” said Board Member Suzan Langloise. In all, our club raised $1,625.00 for Alzheimer’s research. Following the walk our club had a Phlocking at Lopez & Lefty’s in Anaheim. Jerry Gontang played to the members in attendance. Money collected at the Phlocking went to Alzheimer’s Research.
