Swimmy who?? Chris Baer, was a simple singer/songwriter who played his tunes at his favorite place in his
hometown. He used to sing a song Hippie Farm about growing up in a communal camp as a kid. People started
requesting the song by saying "...play that 'Swim Skinny' song...". Swimmy kept writing songs and playing them
for his friends. Eventually someone posted a video of Drunken Parrothead Blues on YouTube. The familiar tale
of the aftermath of a rowdy Jimmy Buffett tailgate party/concert became a big hit with Parrotheads all over.
Swimmy's CD "Naked and Wet" was released July, 2012. This ambitious two CD project picks up where "At
Your Own Risk" left off. The "Naked" CD features more bare acoustic tracks. These stripped down tunes are
more revealing and personal like I'm Alive, Never Say Never Again, Beachnik Hippie,She Gets Me, and On The
Hook. The "Wet" CD features the whole electric rockin' party band. This CD will include crowd favorites like
BOOYAH, Walkin To New Orleans, Roosters Call, Back To Belize, and Too Drunk to See Jimmy.
Swimmy is joined by "Big" Tom Johnson on guitar and keys.

www.michaelcrawley.com Michael “Crawdaddy” Crawley was born in Detroit. At the age of eight, Crawdaddy’s grandmother gave him
his first harmonica. Between 1972 and 1977 Crawdaddy played in various bands in the Detroit area. In 1977 he moved to Baytown, TX
where a friend introduced Crawdaddy to the music of Jimmy Buffett and his harpist, Greg “Fingers” Taylor. Moving to California in 1981,
Crawdaddy spent the next 10 years performing up and down the central California coast. In 1991, he moved to Knoxville where his first
introduction to the world of Trop Rock was at Knoxville’s Tropic Festival in 1997, where he appeared with St. Somewhere. The next
year he travelled to Key West for Meeting of the Minds, the official Convention for Parrot Heads in Paradise. Here he discove red Parrot
Heads and their love of Trop Rock music.
Over the years he has appeared in countless Trop Rock festivals and Parrot Head events. Crawdaddy is often seen onstage
jamming with a wide variety of performers, including some of Jimmy Buffett’s bandmates – the Coral Reefers. He has performed with a
variety of musicians like Fingers Taylor, Magic Dick of The Geils Band, Mitch Kashmar of the band War and Mark Hummel, and has
opened up for well-respected artists such as BB King, Johnny Winter, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Blackfoot, Delbert McClinton, The Sauce
Boss, Marshall Tucker, Mac MacAnally and Nadirah Shakoor.
These days Crawdaddy performs in a wide range of musical outfits, spanning many musical genres: a blues duo called the Detroit
Daddies; the Trop Rock duo with Tall Paul (affectionately known as “TallDaddy”); a seven-piece blues band called “Jenna and Her
Cool Friends” (who will be competing in the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis); a local Jug band called Y’uns; and a rock
outfit called Crawdaddy the Band.
For over 20 years, Lance “Flipper” Steen has
played "Trop/Rock" music. Always a percussionist, backup vocalist and sidekick, first with AJ
Bufay" (Cancelada) then with Mark Northey and
the Finheads, and most recently with the acclaimed band Phins, and the scaled back 3 piece,
The 12 Volt Band, he's been apart of 6 recording
projects.
His first CD was released just last week. You’re
going to love the tropical escape of the ukulele.
Let Flipper take you to Paradise!

Thank you to our Sponsors!!
The CCPHC would like to thank you for helping us help others.
Who are we?
The CCPHC is a community minded social club with a love for the tropical lifestyle inspired by Jimmy Buffett.
We meet in various locations around the county for fun activities. We also meet frequently with our
neighboring clubs. We do fundraisers and service projects for many local groups.
The Clinton County Parrot Head Club was founded in October of 2007. As of 1/1/13, we have raised over
$26,600 and contributed over 3500 hours for various charities. Local and national charities include: Community
Link, Matthew 25 Food Bank, Alzheimer’s Foundation, Relay for Life, Highway Clean Up, Backstoppers,
Operation Carlyle Homefront, Clinton County Humane Society and many more.
We are part of an international organization called Parrot Heads in Paradise (PHiP). What began with the
Atlanta Parrot Head Club 20 years ago has grown exponentially. We ended 2011 with 239 chapters in the
United States, Canada and Australia – including 47 states and 4 Canadian provinces. Our total membership
showed an increase of 3.1% with almost 28,000 new, dedicated, fun-loving Parrot Heads. Despite difficult
economic times, all Clubs collectively raised and/or donated more than $4.1 million to charitable organizations,
an increase of 40% over the previous year. Equally significant, all chapters worldwide donated an estimated
194,000 man-hours to philanthropic and environmental activities. In the period 2002 – 2011, Parrot Head
Clubs have collectively contributed more than $26.2 million and approximately 2.79 million man-hours to aid
our communities, our environment and our fellow man!
Overall, the purpose of a Parrot Head Club is to “Party with a Purpose”
“…engage in activities that are charitable, educational and that promote the general welfare of the community.
We are a not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to assist in community and environmental concerns and
provide a variety of social activities for people who are interested in the music of Jimmy Buffett and the tropical
lifestyle he personifies.”
