A Sad Note:
We mourn the passing of Connie Gray. Connie “Hurricane Dancer” was the PHiP Regional Communicator Chair. She was an
active member of the Central Texas Parrot
Head Club, as well as great leader, mentor
and communicator.
Some of you may have met Connie at events
across the nation and would be able to attest
to how she earned her nickname. She was a
powerful force in the mission to “Party with
a Purpose”.
We will miss a woman who could listen,
give an opinion and really get the job done.
Our sympathy goes out to her family, her
PHiP and Central Texas Phamily and all of
those who came in contact with her.
Volunteering to participate in the Sunday Brunch venue at
Ronald McDonald House (RMH) was a no brainer...after all we
do "Party with a Purpose". We had a great group of Parrot
Heads participating ...Waneta Goodwin, John Libhart, Dolly and
Larry Kmetz, Captain Shauna and us.
Waneta and I visited the RMH prior to our scheduled date for a
tour and to meet the coordinator Maria. We were very impressed with the facilities and
the amount of volunteers that
help support this program. They
have over 200 volunteers from
the community that do what is
needed such as cleaning, manning the desk, cooking and other
duties as required. The pantry,
from which you can pull what
you need to supplement your
menu, is quite impressive; again
all donated items from various organizations. You decide what
you will serve.
Sunday brunch can be served anytime after 9am and the meal
must be prepared on site or catered by a restaurant. Our menu
was simple and easy to prepare - scrambled eggs with/without
cheese, breakfast sausage patties, fruit salad, pancakes, chicken
Caesar salad and juice. Because of the items we had from the
pantry, our out- of- pocket expense was about $10 each. We all
arrived around 8am and were done by 1015. The meal is left out
for those that "sleep in" and the staff will put the extras away. I
found it very hard to believe, but one of the staff at RMH, not
knowing what Parrot Heads are, asked. When I told her what we
do and that we follow Jimmy Buffett and trop rock music, she
asked “Who is Jimmy Buffett?” So, Jimmy, here is your challenge - get your message out to the next generation of Parrot
Heads!
The people staying at RMH were very appreciative of the home
cooked meal and we had a waiting line for the food.
And, of course, we brought our "Parrot Head" gear - leis, tropical shirts and music!

FIRST MATE’S WATCH
Volume 18, Issue 5

Tequila Times
As Captain Shauna Mañana is out of town during the publication of the Tequila
Times, your faithful First Mate is filling the gap and I have lots of news!
We’ve been shuttling cargo to many ports. The Parrot Heads in Amish Paradise
continue to collect kitty litter, peanut butter and cleaning supplies for the Humane
Society of Harrisburg Area. We also plunder your closets for donation to the
United Methodist Children’s Home. After the May meeting, I hauled the cargo
of four cases of non-perishables to the Lebanon County Christian Ministry’s
Food Bank. This charity serves many of the homeless and needy residents of Lebanon County, including kids heading into summer break with little food at home.
They give us a hearty “thank you” for the contributions to their cargo hold! Always remember to mark
down your donations on the social sign in sheet. You earn Parrot Points for every donation!
We used our bounty to serve a delicious brunch at Ronald McDonald House (see article). And your Executive Board is investigating new places for casual gatherings—happy hour, anyone?
Coming up on Saturday, July 25th, we have the 3rd annual Pool Party at Dixie and John Winters’ lovely
home! Orchard is just a quick trip down 72 from the Turnpike or 322. Dixie is a most gracious hostess and
John’s hand-squeezed margaritas are award-winning! See Shark Bites for more info.
Road Clean-Up is the week before on July 18. We get to cleaning up at 10am, meeting at the Exelon
Welcome Center on 441, across from Three Mile Island. Last clean up brought out some new faces who
didn’t let the words “clean up” scare them! The post clean up party at the Blue Room is always an adventure! Save that date to help keep ‘Merica beautiful.
Also in July, Scott Kirby graces Central PA with his presence on the 16th at Knicker’s Pub, Heritage Hills
Golf Resort. He never disappoints with a performance overlooking the fairways and fountain. Get there
early for a seat. Scott warms up the guitar at 7pm.
In August, we have two phenomenal events—The Jakie Invitational, a putt-putt tournament benefitting
the Wounded Warriors of Pennsylvania and Music on the Mountain, hosting John Frinzi and special
guest, Emily Randle. We don’t get John to come to Central Pa very often, so let’s show him some love.
Read more about both events in Shark Bites and/or on the flyers available at this month’s social.
If you’re headed out to Pittsburgh for the Buffett show, the Steel City Fins have invited us to their preparty the day before. John McDonald and the Mango Men will be the musical guests.
Also in July, our neighbors, Berks County Parrot Head Club, invites us to their Parrot Daze event on July
11.
Phew! Is that enough good stuff for you? Wishing you all fair winds and a following seas!

Sailing with "Boat Drinks
Bacchanal"
Kurt and I went on a little sail down to Dewey Beach to
party with the Delaware Sea Shore Parrot Heads. Their
party with a purpose was to raise money for the SPCA.
These Parrot Heads really know how to throw a party!!
We were welcomed from the first person we met. I was
even offered a bottle of water while I was standing in
line to get in due to my nursing a head ache. The price to get in was $50.00 for music and all you could drink
for 5 hours. The venue was on the Bay side overlooking the boat docks and the water. There was sand between our toes, sunshine on our faces, a pig on a spit, and MANY boat drinks in our hands. The Band was
Jimmy and the Parrots and of course they are worth the fifty dollar ticket alone! We danced, sang, and
laughed for hours. I met a lot of other members from other Parrot head groups while searching for Jack's
Backs. Next year I hope to find more Amish phriends at this venue it was a great time for a great cause. My
only regret is having to wait a year for this event to happen again.

WALK FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY
May 16, 2015 four Amish Parrotheads walked around the HACC campus raising money for the Center for
Independent Living of Central Pa. Metro, Karen, Chris and Lynn, wearing club shirts, enjoyed the music,
the fun and a beautiful day. Metro and Karen did the 5K, Chris and Lynn after walking what seemed like
5 miles from the parking lot opted for just the one mile. PHIAP raised $450.00 of the total of $14,000
raised for The Center for Independent Living.

April 17- 19, 2015, six Parrothead clubs got together for an event, East Coast Style. The Wyndham hotel in Philadelphia- Mount Laurel, NJ became the Parrothead capital of the east coast.
Hundreds of Hawaiian clad Jimmy Buffett fans
set out to Party with a Purpose (and did we ever).
The over $16,000 raised was donated to the ALS
Assoc, Veterans Making a Difference,
Philadoptables, Camp No Worries, Wounded
Warrior Project and Marine Mammal Stranding
Center.
The music talent for this first ever Phlocking was
amazing! Headliners Jim Morris and the Big
Bamboo Band, and the Boat Drunks rocked the
ballroom Friday and Saturday night. Other musical acts were Jimmy and the Parrots Trio, Will
Kimbrough, Tropical Soul, Mark James, Gary
PhillipS, Nicky Fabbz, Latitude 24, Dead Jimmy
with Dave Hartranft, John McGarvey, Toes in the
Sand, Jersey John. This music lineup was just
crazy. From Friday afternoon through Sunday
afternoon the music just kept going.
Not only was there music, but raffles, 50/50, a
signed Jimmy Buffett guitar, and a Pirate/Wench
contest. Now I have been to a lot of these events
and I’ve never seen so many good raffle baskets.
I think in total there were over 100 baskets and
cool items.
For the first year, what I
saw was everything running smoothly.
8 Amish joined in the
fun, dancing, drinking
and reconnecting with
friends. Lynn and Yogi’s
room turned into the hospitality suite. We did it
Weiner style, with crock
pots and great food.
For years, New England
has had their Parrothead
convention, and Stars Fell
on Alabama in the south,
there are Fin’s to the West and Stars on the Water. All of these have become great weekend Parrothead events raising thousands of dollars for
charity. Well I’m here to say there is a new event
on the block and it is ONE PARTICULAR
PHLOCKING. The Krieger’s will be back at
OPP next year. Hope more Amish will hitch up
your buggies and join us!
Event sponsors: Phlock of South Jersey, Berks
County PHC, Coastal Jersey PHC, Jersey Shore

Jimmy Returns to New Orleans
The New Orleans Jazz
and Heritage Festival is
a once in a life-time
event. If you like music
and an eclectic groups
of musicians, you have
to attend at least once in
your life. John and I have been their four times, but
Jimmy Buffett never played then. Last year we were
there, and Jimmy surprised concert goers by joining
another performer on stage. John and I did not see
him because John was back in the room with food
poisoning---bad, bad raw oyster. At long last, Jimmy
Buffett finally returned to New Orleans to headline
the Jazz and Heritage Festival on Sunday, April 26.
Among 200,000 plus people, five Amish Parrotheads
made their pilgrimage to see their favorite Trop Rock
singer. Bob and TC Roscoe, Alana Lambert, and
John and Dixie Winters braved the rain and storm the
previous day and tried to avoid the mud pits as they
watched the crowds flocking to the “big stage.” It
was hard to image that many people watching Jimmy
since at the exact same time, Pitbull and Lady Gaga
and Tony Bennett were performing on near-by stages. By far, Jimmy had the biggest and loudest crowd.
Come on, can you image anyone going to the Pitbull
stage wearing feathers and coconuts bras?
All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience. Jimmy was
great. As he does at most concerts, time and again
during his two-hour performance, Jimmy delighted
the crowd with references to sweet NOLA, where he
worked the bars and crowds in the French Quarter 40
years ago. Singing his signature song, Margaritaville,
Jimmy sang, "Nibbling on sponge cake," watching
the sun bake, all of you at Jazz Fest covered in mud.

ZAC BROWN BAND FROM THE PIT
It’s been said that Zac Brown is poised to take over for Jimmy Buffett when he retires. While Zac plays some amazing beach songs,
he certainly isn’t limiting himself to trop rock, or any genre at all!
Though he sells CDs in the country section of the store, his playlist
has as much rock as country and he’s even getting a little funky on
us now, with the addition of a horn section. This concert had plenty
of the music from the new “Jekyll and Hyde” CD, as well as some
thoroughly surprising covers.
Seriously, Zac Brown Band is turning into today’s Grateful Dead
when it comes to fantastic cover songs. I couldn’t believe that I was
hearing the opening to Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”, but when they took it straight into “Devil Went Down To
Georgia”? I mean…WOW! Searing violin playing from Jimmy DiMartini was spot on. Another shocker
from a “country” group was the cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, complete with video impersonation,
using the band members’ faces. (Does anyone remember the original video for “Bohemian Rhapsody”?) Other covers—“Into the Mystic” (Van Morrison), “Let it Be” (if you don’t know, you’re just wrong), and “Can’t
You See” (Marshall Tucker Band).
The pit crowd wasn’t quite as friendly in Pittsburgh (nee, Burgettstown) as they were last year in Hershey,
with a scuffle breaking out and causing the ejection of several over lubricated guys, but you couldn’t beat the
size of their pit. Being smaller than Hershey’s, everyone was close to the stage. I don’t have the set list order
correct, but I think I remember almost everything that was played. I was too busy just enjoying possibly the
best concert I’ve ever seen/heard!
So, in the interest of space and time, here’s what they played—
Homegrown
Kashmir
Devil Went Down to Georgia
Let it Be
Bohemian Rhapsody
Loving You Easy
Beautiful Drug
Day of the Dead (a venture in to funkiness!)
