Coral Reefer Bassist, "Uncle Jim" Mayer just completed an amazing week in North Carolina, performing for thousands of children and spreading his anti-bullying message. We thought you might enjoy reading this wonderful article, which includes some fun information about being on the road with Jimmy Buffett!

Great article. Uncle Jim Rocks, indeed!

“When you’re playing a big stage with Buffett, it’s like riding on top of a huge wave. So what you have to do is two things: you have to relax and pay attention. Those are the two things, relax and pay attention, because it’s literally like there’s a wave going on, and you’re just riding the wave."


"His songs are filled with messages, so many that certainly not every child grabs all of them. But it’s like he’s on stage tossing pixie dust out to the children, and here and there a speck will land on a shoulder or a soul and it will stick, and that is the hope that charges Uncle Jim."


He always seems so genuinely loving, it's hard to believe he's single.
You’re still grinning, we’re still winning, nothing left to say
I’m still gliding as I go flying down this endless wave
