#581 - Brent Jones

The Brent Jones interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Ever been on a cruise ship? I’m pulling out an interview from the archives, this was originally broadcast on Radio Margaritaville years ago.

This is a blast from the past! This interview is with Brent Jones, the coordinator for the Parrothead Cruise. He talks about the famous and infamous cruises where toga parties, great music and sometimes questionable behavior abound...all for a good cause! Over the years the Parrothead Cruise has raised more than $320,000 for charities.

These legendary annual cruises were beloved by tropical music fans and beach lovers, a certain kind of reveler: Parrot Heads, which are Jimmy Buffett fans. This interview was broadcast back in 2004, but I’m bringing the interview back out to promote Parrothead Cruise 2022. Just go to parrotheadcruise.com for more information. They’ll be departing from Miami, Florida on March 12th and visiting Honduras, Belize and Mexico. This cruise is being called “Bring Back the Magic,” which is the name of a song Jimmy Buffett wrote with Will Jennings on his 1988 album Hot Water.
