I had a few minutes to talk with John Burrows from The Cocabanana Band. We were both getting ready to take off for Bethel, Maine for the Parrot Head Club of Maine's Annual Bust-n-Burn Parrot Head Weekend at The Sunday River Ski Resort. We talked about "Boats for Sale" and "Bayou Hurricane" off of their "Cocabanana Band Live" disc and got some interesting stories on the songs.

A Special Preview Debut: The TropiCast Spotlight

Jimmy Pirate — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:15:25 GMT

Seeing as I love to get things done early and I LOVE SURPRISES, I thought I'd throw one at you.

This is the first episode of the second TropiCast Radio Network Podcast, The TropiCast Spotlight.

It's a shorter show that will be released on the weeks opposite the TropiCast Radio Showcase and will feature a few songs from ONE Trop Rock artist and the stories behind the songs in the artist's own words. We debut the new show with some time spent with Brent Burns, fresh off the Mardi Gras float from down in Alabama. Brent waxes poetic on the songs Nurse Rambo, Trailer Park Sexy and Jamaicanmecrazi. Some pretty entertaining stories.

Enjoy,
JimmyPirate
