This week has another special Let Me Say This About That Series. Mr. Shambo names his top 10 most beautiful places on Earth - out of the 57 different countries he travelled to. Can you guess what made his list? Do you have your own list? I wonder how many will guess his #1 Most Beautiful Place in the world? I will give you a hint - Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about it! So tune in this week, M/T/W at 12/3/6/9 am/pm ET and find out!

Hey Listeners!
We're having a party tomorrow at my local Marina and you are all invited to join in! Docktails and Dancing are the order of business starting at 2pm ET until sunset! The criteria for the playlist was: If I was walking through the house and heard a song that made me start dancing - it made the playlist!
Our usual Let Me Say This About That blogs will not play Saturday but will pick up again on Mother's Day with a special blog "Lady of the Lake" about Mr. Shambo's own Mother. You will not want to miss it! So, plan on joining BJ’s Cove for a special, fun weekend!

Welcome to BJ’s Cove all the Looper Captains and 1st Mates!

If ever there were a group of boaters that would understand BJ's Cove, and appreciate Real Yacht Rock for Real Boaters, it's the folks completing the Great Loop. These boaters have committed a lot of time and a lot of mo...

What does St. Patrick’s day have to do with Real Yacht Rock you might ask??? Well, when you have a St. Paddy’s crowd, in Dublin, Ireland dressed in green, drinking beer, and singing Son of a Son of a Sailor to the man himself - Jimmy Buffett!!! - then BJ’s Cove is the place to enjoy it!!! So drop a hook & pop-a-top!!! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my Captains!

Hey Captains!
Boy do I have a treat for you!!! Can you say REAL Yacht Rock! From the World Famous Holiday Isle Tiki Bar at Islamorada in the fabulous Florida Keys, comes a newly digitized, personal video from your 1st Mate's collection of one of our favorite Real Yacht Rock tunes! Excuse the quality as this was a VHS tape from the early '80s. You guys may remember this guy who played there for years, Dancing Marie, and even the Polynesian dancer he was married to! Great memories, great music, and I hope you enjoy!

Mr. Shambo's Let Me Say This About That blog which plays daily on BJ’s Cove is a cross between Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story and Justin Halpern's S**t My Day Says. Because of this, it's not meant for the kiddo's or even the mommies! It's a guy talking to his guy friends. So finding a LMSTAT blog for Sunday play has been somewhat challenging! I thought I had it set last weekend when I found a nice bit about Potpourri & Other Worthless Crap. Unfortunately, what I scheduled instead was this blog - Worthless Crap! Enjoy Captains!!!

Hey Everyone, I have updated my Website - all by myself! Check it out and let me know what you think. And, remember to listen to BJ’s Cove for Real Yacht Rock!

Queen of Hearts

I met Mr. Shambo in 1974 when I was 17 years old. He was 28! On my 18th birthday, some folks in our office were trying to fix me up on a blind date. Mr. Shambo came into my office (where the radio was playing) and danced across the room! He said I don’t think this blind date is a good idea! If anyone is going to take advantage of BJ, I think it should be me! I was like – okay – sure! I have been madly in love with him ever since, some 48 years. In December of that year, I flew to Missouri to visit my Dad for the holidays. Driving from the KC airport to a little town in the middle of the state, I sat in the back seat, behind Dad and leaned up to talk in his ear. I told him I had met someone. I told him it was hard to say what I felt but that I had heard a beautiful song that explained it perfectly. Then I quoted the 4th lyric of Gregg Allman’s Queen of Hearts to him. That’s all I’ve ever needed to express how I feel about Mr. Shambo. He played it when he proposed to me on a boat in BJ’s Cove in Palm Beach in 1989. It played at our wedding and every anniversary after. It played on the boat when I placed his ashes in BJ’s Cove in the FL Keys. Thank you to Gregg Allman for the song of my life!
Enjoy it when you hear it playing on BJ’s Cove.

To all you Veterans who have visited my site, left your comments and shared the post, I want to thank you for your service. To show my appreciation, I'm posting one more Toby Keith - An American Soldier. I also want you to know that starting Monday, I will play a patriotic song - for you - everyday at 10 and 4. Yes, we're "Real Yacht Rock", but we're also "American" and very proud of you all! Please feel free to share a photo here with me if so inclined. I will start it off with a photo of Mr. Shambo's brother. Please join us in BJ's Cove!

A short video I made to thank the men and women who are serving or have served. Thank you. The song is "American Soldier" by Toby Keith.
