I just watched the video of Jimmy in Guantanamo Bay at the U.S. Naval base where he played a concert and met the troops,my view of Jimmy has changed,i used to think of him as just a great musician and businessman but after seeing that video,I could definately tell that Jimmy wasn't playing for the troops just to sell more cd's,he was there to thank the troops and try to bring some joy into their day,he also has his charity,SFC,which helps other organizations,I'm proud to support a musician that takes the time to spend the whole day talking to and playing for our troops that defend the freedom that we all love,I would just like to say,Thank you Jimmy.

I watched that video and it is cool. Jimmy sounded great on the song and it was cool to see Jimmy with the troops.

Thanks, Jimmy, for supporting our troops! You're a fine man, and that's why I love your music.

I have problems playing the video

I clicked on it several times...it would start to "buffer" and than stop at 8%. Anyone else having this problem????

I didn't have any probelms either, of course i have high speed internet. Do you?

dean_siu · Post by **dean_siu** » April 13, 2003 8:51 am

Yeah....I have cable and have never had a problem with anything else. I tried it on low speed and it went to 14% before stopping. Very weird. I guess I'll just keep trying!

You don't have to go to Radio Margaritaville to play the video. You can do it right from here...

Oh yeah... That stupid purple box that follows up and down the left side of your screen at Radio Margaritaville is just about the most annoying thing I've seen on the Internet to date. What the hell they thinkin' when the decided on that thing???

I don't know st. somewhere, but it is annoying. It was green early last week and then it became purple.

That is a cool video. It is nice to know Jimmy takes time out to see the troops and brighten their day. I spent the night down there about 5 years ago when our military transport aircraft had maintenance problems. I remember going into the bar and playin' all the Buffett that was on the jukebox. There was quite a lot. Jimmy's got a lot of fans in Gitmo.

I'm having problems with the video too. I don't have cable, but when a click on the "low speed" link, it buffers fine, but then all I get is the audio without the video. Strange b/c it opens Windows Media automatically when I click the link.

By the way, can anyone convert this to a .mpg, .avi, quicktime? Anything so we can keep it once Radio Margaritaville pulls it?

Thanks for the post, love the video. I hope that somebody can convert it, I would hate to lose it.

Thanks for the link, no problems at all except I wish it was full screen. I need a dose of palm trees + warm ocean!
