Jimmy Buffett LeSelect St. Barths Banner at Hazards

Our good friend Marius Stakelborough celebrated the 60th anniversary of starting his LeSelect bar/library/music store/taxi and everything else needed in St. Barth in the Caribbean last November.

Hazards owner Ed was there - and for the 50th - as were people from all over the world. Including Jimmy Buffett who with his Coral Reefer Band put on a great show for all.

The big banner that greeted visitors to LeSelect was stretched tree to tree on the main island road. At the end of the week long party, Marius gave this banner to Ed so that it could be displayed at Hazards. Hazards was inspired by LeSelect and St. Barths and Marius visited back in 2006 and gave his seal of approval.

Now this same banner hangs on the ceiling of Hazards as our sign of friendship across the 2,000 miles that separates us - but not in spirit.

Everything at Hazards is authentic and has a story.

How Does Jimmy Buffett Leave a Concert?











In St. Barths, Jimmy leaves the show he just put on by boat. With the band, of course. The boat was waiting right next to stage on the harbor in Gustavia.

Jimmy Buffett at Le Select on Sunday

The owner of Le Select in St. Barths, Marius Stakelborough, finished his three day celebration of his 60th anniversary in grand style on Sunday. His good friend Jimmy Buffett stopped by to shoot the champagne cork at a bee that hangs over the bar - a very long tradition at Le Select.
A nice friend took a picture of me next to Marius and Jimmy in the background.
Back in February Marius was very kind to let me hang the St. Hazards flag at Le Select. And here's a great photo of Jimmy near the flag.
Jimmy was most graciuos and spent lots of time with his fans. We all thank him for that.
Amazingly, Marius is now 86 yrs. old and partied for the three days with extra high energy.
More photos to come from this great weekend.

The big Jimmy Buffett show with the Coral Reefer Band to celebrate the 60th anniversary of LeSelect went on yesterday, Saturday, onthe harbor. My very good friend Marius, the one who started LeSelect 60 years ago granted me access to take some fantastic photos of this concert. Too many to post all at once, but here are a few to get started.
Jimmy put on a two hour concert that had all of the favorites and some new songs. And all for his friend Marius.
More to come.

Jimmy Buffett at the St. Barths party for LeSelect


Our very good friend Marius Stakelborough and his extended family are celebrating the 60th anniversary of starting his very special bar & cheeseburger place this weekend. It's called LeSelect and St. Hazards builder Ed is there for the party. St. Hazards was inspired by LeSelect and St. Barths.
One of Marius' good friends is Jimmy Buffett. He and the Coral Reefer Band will be putting on a free concert for Marius this Saturday. Here are a few photos from a surprise visit to the BAZ bar in St. Barths on Thursday that Ed was at.
Jimmy Buffett is very generous with his time to meet his fans and is one of the locals on St. Barth. He has lived here on and off for many years.
More photos to come.
A video of a few songs will also be posted.

Jimmy Buffett to celebrate our friend's 60th anniversary in St. Barths.





Back in 1949, 60 years ago, our goof friend Marius Stakelborough started a small bar in St. Barths called LeSelect. It's become one of the most popular and well-known bars in the Caribbean. Marius has also become good friends with us at St. Hazards and even made the 2,000 mile journey to visit in 2006.

The big party to celebrate the 60th will be Nov. 6, 7 and 8th. Jimmy Bufett and Marius also have become good friends since Jimmy lived on St. Barths many years ago. He's even bringing his entire Coral Reefer Band to put on a free concert as part of the party. Here's the first look at the poster for this concert plus a few photos of LeSelect. The photo of Jimmy was taken at one of the beaches on St. Barths. You can see the St. Hazards flag on the inside view of LeSelect.

We hope to post photos from the big party in November.
