When the Coast is Clear

Jimmy Buffett and Friends performed a free concert at Gulf Shores, Alabama, recently. A huge crowd of 35,000 was on hand for the show right on the beach. The idea was to help local businesses and the community from the devastation of the oil spill. This is a classic song updated to fit the oil spill disaster. This is an excellent video. Thought you might like it.
