LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD PEOPLE
It’s election time again, Parrot Heads. You have the opportunity to join in on the everyday running and decision making of your club by nominating yourself for a seat on our
“Not Bored” of directors. Anyone interested in a position
who is not sure what the commitment means should contact:
Patti Myles 941-727-0889 or [email protected] and she
will fill you in on the responsibilities and requirements
involved. A short introduction/bio and photo should be sent to Patti as well.
Elections will be held at the May 28th meeting. Photo’s and bio’s of all
nominees will be listed in the May newsletter for your review.
Positions up for election for the 2009-2010 Not Bored of Directors :
Two year term - Executive Officers - Vice President and Treasurer
One year term - General Board - 10 Seats
Notes from the wandering mind of Dave:
It's getting close to that time of the year again…. Election Time!
This month I want to use my space to let you know what is involved
with being a member of the 'Not-Bored' of Directors. We have 15 seats on the
board, 4 executive officers with two - year terms which alternate election
years, 10 general board seats which are a one - year term and one seat reserved
for "Past President" which we open up as a general seat in years when we do
not have a past president. The Board, which is never bored (hence the phrase
"Not-Bored of Directors" was coined many years back), meets once a month
for approx. two hours to handle the club business and make most of the decisions that shape the club. Some of our business is done through email so you
do need daily access to the internet. Each Board Member is expected to head
a committee or chair an event thought the year and is responsible for helping
out at the monthly social meetings.
If you wish to throw your hat in the ring for a seat on the board, please
email Patti, our VP with a short bio/intro of yourself as well as a photo to be
included in May's newsletter. Once elections are over the Executive Board
looks over the new board to determine where each person's talents will benefit the club and appoints committees and responsibilities at that time.
Sound like something you want to commit to? It is a lot of work but
also rewarding and fun. I know I am looking forward to filling that "Past
President" seat in 2010!

Mote’s 23rd Annual Run for the
Turtles Sat April 4

The National Great American
Clean-up ~ April 18
Okay it is that time of the year
again for the Great American
Clean-up. This year it is held on
Saturday April 18th. This will be
our second clean-up of the year and
I promise it will be much warmer
than the last one on January 31st.
The Great American Clean-up is a big cleanup for us. We will be getting some areas ready for the
Survivor Games in May. So we need your help! And
don't forget, you did take an oath to CLEAN the
BEACHES.
We will be meeting at Bay Island Park on
Saturday, April 18th at 10:00 A.M. We will have the
famous Parrot Head Navy transport us over to
Edwards, Coconut and Cooks Islands to clean up and
then meet back at Edwards Island for a little picnic.
We will have a good supply of garbage bags and plastic gloves for everyone.
Our fabulous chefs will be preparing burgers
and hot dogs for everyone after the clean-up. We will
have water and soda but if you want something a little stronger you will have to bring it yourself. As I
said before, the weather should be much better and
even the water might be nice and warm for a swim.
This is a great way for new members and to
get involved and meet the rest of us. So please think
about coming out and roll up your sleeves for a little
work and a good time with the best Parrot head Club
in Florida.
We will have a sign up sheet at the March
Social meeting Thursday the 26th. Just look for Phil
or Claudia and sign up. We need to get a count of
who is coming for supplies and for food. If you can't
make the meeting contact me at [email protected]. Hope to see you at 10:00 A.M. Sat. April
18th.
If you haven't been to a cleanup yet the directions are, from 41, turn west on Siesta Drive, cross the
bridge and Bay Island Park is on your left. It will be
a great day on the island cleaning and partying with a
purpose!

Night Golf is Back!
At this past meeting we started signing
up for Night Golf for Friday April 3rd. We still
space left, this event has been a fun evening in
the past few years and those who have always
wanted to try the game of golf, without getting
too serious about it...this is your opportunity.
We usually have enough Parrot Heads to take
over the entire course, and run it as a shotgun
start. We are also set up to have a cookout, to
be provided by the golf center. Price for golf
and food is $15 per person, or just golf or food
is $7.50 per person.
Please email me at [email protected], if you are interested
in participating. ~ Al

~ pet food dishes ~ cat or dog toys

~ wet or dry pet food
Honor Sanctuary Animal
Rescue has opened Nate's Place, a
dog and cat adoption center in space
donated by the Benderson Corp. The
center is at 8459 Cooper Creek
Blvd., in the Cooper Creek
Shopping Center at University
Parkway and Interstate 75.
Nate's Place is always in
need of monetary donations for
medical needs of our animals, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, micro
chipping and sometimes extraordinary medical services are required.
We also need Volunteers, Foster families and we have a Wish
List with such items as animal crates, a conference table,
chairs, floor lamps, towels, pet food dishes, cat condos and
toys. Donations of cat litter and wet or dry pet food are being
accepted to help provide for the animals, which live with foster families.
Nate's Place adopts out a large number of companion
animals every month. We also bring other rescue groups in to
show their animals and find homes for them.

Parrot Head Bowling
50 Parrot Heads with balls in hand on Saturday, February 7th, started off at 5:00 meeting in bar area of the
Sarasota Lanes for a Happy Hour to build up a little strength to bowl the game of our dreams.
At 6:30 the alleys started lighting up and, Phil said, "Let the games begin!" Everyone went to their assigned
alley and just had a great time. The scores really didn't matter because it was just a great time with good friends. There
were no casualties, well. maybe a few sore muscles the next day, but a great time was had by all. Even Phil and Claudia
got to bowl a little. Thanks again for coming out and bowling. We can put away our shoes and balls for another year.

Parrot Heads & Ponies
On Sunday January 25th a large
group of Parrot Heads were at the
polo match for a "Football Fiesta".
A pre-superbowl party with horses.
Everyone was decked out in their
favorite football team jerseys and t-shirts. Even
a cheese head showed up. Thanks to Bill Wiley
there was even a set of yellow goal posts.
Lots of food and plenty of drink kept the
party going. We even celebrated a couple birthdays with
some cake.
Our group of tailgaters
won the prize for "most spirited". A gift basket full of stuff
will be donated for the upcoming SBPHC birthday party in June.
After the polo match we all headed over
to the pavilion for some entertainment by
Latitude. With a conga line and lots of dancing,
everyone had a great time.
March 15th Shamrock Shindig brought
the crowds out wearing green
and again a great day was shared
by everyone.
Our next tailgating event
is Sunday March 29. We will be
out there this time in western
attire. The theme is "Wild, Wild West". So grab
your cowboy hat, kick up your boots, and
mosey on out. Don't forget your chairs, cooler
full of your favorite beverages, sunscreen, and
food or dish to share. And look for the group
not far from the bleachers under the canopies.
It is only $10 per person to get in.

Firkin & Fox Pre Concert Bash - And Fun Was Had By All!
Pre-Concert Party at Firkin & Fox
Friday, March 13th, 2009
The Sarasota Bay Parrot Head
Club, and friends, flocked from far and
wide to join in the fun and festivities on
the deck for the Pre-Concert Party at
Firkin & Fox. With about 100 Parrot
Heads in attendance throughout the
night, the fins were up, the feathers were
flashing, and the team at Firkin & Fox
showed their Parrot Head spirit and put
on a really fun event. The 2-4-1 drink
specials, buckets 'o beer and pitchers of
margaritas were rather hot commodities. The
grill was fired up and the Cheeseburgers in
Paradise (complete with Heinz 57) were, naturally, a dynamite hit with the crowd, while DJ
Cyber entertained us with Jimmy Buffett concerts playing on the big screen, great music and
even a little Buffett trivia.
As the sun went down and the moon
came out, the tiki torches were ablaze and the
dancing got really fired up! Sharen Sponseller
was the big winner of the hula-hoop contest and
went home with a $25 gift certificate for a
future visit. The competition was pretty hot, but
she sure knew how to move those hips to win
that prize! Sheree Cade gave her a pretty good run, but just couldn't beat
out Sharen. The conga line made its way all over the deck and into the bar
(several times) where the other patrons got quite a kick out of our enthusiasm and passion for a good time. We may have even had a few of them join
in!
The party went well into the night with great conversation and dancing galore! One of the owners of the establishment, Joe Vallor, couldn't
keep his dancing feet still and cut a rug with the rest of the clan. Although
the wonderful wait staff really enjoyed taking care of us, they would have
much rather been joining the party with us!
It was a fantastic night and the folks at Firkin & Fox really went all
out for us and made this party something really special. All of those who
came up for the party sure got their cure for "Island Fever"! The PreConcert Party at Firkin & Fox sure turned out to be a really "Firkin" good
time that must be repeated!
Special Thanks & A Team Drink to club member
Sarah Bonneau for setting up this awesome night for us!
Have an idea of a cool place for us to flock to for a night of fun?
Let the board know so we can check it out!
Join the Party June 12-13-14
The Legend of Norman Paperman
Don't Stop the Carnival
Kinja was the name of the island when it
was British. The actual name was King
George the Third Island, but the Islanders
shorted that to Kinja. Now the name in the
maps and the guidebooks is Amerigo, but
everybody who lives there still calls it
Kinja. The United States acquired the
island peaceably in 1940 as part of the
shuffling of old destroyers and Caribbean
real estate that went on between Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill. The details
of the transaction were and are vague to
the inhabitants. The West Indian is not
exactly hostile to change, but he's not
much inclined to believe in it. Meantime
in a fashion Amerigo is getting
Americanized. The inflow of cash is making everyone more prosperous. Most
Kinjans go along cheerily with this explosion of American energy in the Caribbean.
To them it seems a new harmless and
apparently endless Carnival. Sanders
Have you ever dreamed of escaping from
your dull existence to a new life on a tropical island? Our story is about a man who
did it - a real person, whose true adventure
has become a legend here in the
Caribbean. Welcome one and all to THE
LEGEND OF NORMAN PAPERMAN.
SBPHC Celebrates our 13th Birthday with a
weekend bash to top all others. We know it’s
the “Magic of the Music” that draws the
crowd and each year. We try to bring in the
best of our favorites and introduce you to
some ‘new to us’ talent.
Jack Mosley and his Band will kick off
the party on Friday Night and get us in the
mood for a weekend packed full of fun.
Poolside music, back by popular demand, we
welcome back Jason Webb and his
Caribbean Chillers Duo Saturday Poolside to
keep us singing and dancing. Saturday Night
night, we are excited to bring you Jimmy
Parrish and the Ocean Waves Band, a 6 piece
band from Jacksonville, as they take the stage
for their first West Coast Parrot Head event.
Sunday poolside James Sunny Jim White and
John Frinzi will end the weekend of musical fun with their always
entertaining poolside show. Our DJ Albert will be filling in when there
is no music poolside through the weekend.
The theme for this years bash is “Don’t Stop the Carnival”
with Mardi Gras decorations to get you in that festive mood. The details
of Saturday’s dress up competition will be announced soon. We will
have a ‘jello shot’ volleyball competition on Saturday headed up by
Missy Dunn with practice and sign up on Friday, a conch horn blowing
contest, a horseshoe tournament and other poolside games on Saturday.
And, back by popular demand the Tropical Drink Contest.

were all a huge hit and raised a lot of
money for our charities, please help
us if you can!
Birthday Volunteers Are Needed
We can’t have all this fun without a
bit of work involved! We need a
bunch of members to volunteer one
hour of their weekend to help during
this event. You can sell raffle tickets,
help at registration desk, decorate the
party room and pool areas, be a judge
at one of the special events or competitions, be a greeter at the door during
the night band events.... See Lori at
the meetings and I’ll find a spot
where you will fit.
I guess we will be coming up north a little later this year. The
Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club has scheduled their "13th Annual Birthday Bash"
for June 12th, 13th and 14th. You remember me telling you about last year's
party don't you? It was our first one, since we had just joined the Club in
October 2007. Remember, I drove the motorhome up to Illinois the first of
May and Laura flew up for Cathianne's graduation, then we both flew back,
specifically for the party. Yes, I thought at the time it was much ado for a
party.......but boy was I wrong!!! We had such a great time. We met tons
of people, some who can rarely make it to meetings or projects, but they would
never miss a "Birthday Bash". We even met a member from the Virgin Islands
and his girlfriend from California, whom we hooked up with again in Key West
last fall and may even go visit this year. This year's theme for the Bash is
"Don't Stop the Carnival".
The Club takes over the entire facility at a place called the 'Holiday
House' in Venice. 125 rooms; that means 300 Parrot Heads. From the time
we got there on Friday it was non stop fun. Friday evening everybody enjoyed
the show put on my our Official Club Disc Jockey: Albert, while we sat around
the pool. It was great, the hotel management allows us to bring our own
booze and snacks around the pool, but they still bring out a bar and food you
can purchase.
Friday night a local favorite named Jim Morris played on the inside in
a wonderfully decorated banquet room. Tropical Soul played on the outside stage
on Saturday while we all soaked up sun and played in the pool. These Parrot
Heads have some of the weirdest pool toys they you can ever imagine, Sis.
Shots of Rum Jumbie, free samples of Landshark beer, a Conch Blowing Contest
and poolside games, it was unbelievable. Saturday also began the Sand Volleyball
competition. Missy, the member who organized the Volleyball, made 300 jello
shots. For every kill and ace you got a jello shot. I had nine the first game.
Then Saturday night a dinner, another dance, featuring Jason and the Caribbean
Chillers, raffles, drawings, costume contests and a silent auction was held.
Remember the picture I sent you of our 'basket' we made? Ours brought
$135.00 and Laura ended up buying three for herself. The money raised went
to Mote Marine Laboratory and Parrot Head Reef Projects. "Party with a
Purpose"....that's our motto. Sunday, Latitude, you have heard me talk about
them also, played outside, and the party didn't break up until nearly 4pm.
So, Sis, regardless of the date, I pledge never to miss a Sarasota Bay
Parrot Head "Birthday Bash". Laura already has our room and
reservation completed. All I have to do is bring my suit and sandals and beverage. Isn't life great sometimes?
Love,
Your Brother
13th Birthday Entertainment Schedule:
Friday Night - Jack Mosley & Band
Saturday Poolside - Caribbean Chillers Duo
Saturday Night - Jimmy Parrish & the Ocean Waves Band
Sunday Poolside - Sunny Jim & John Frinzi
DJ Albert Poolside in the mornings and Friday Afternoon
Jack Mosley, originally
from Panama City
Florida, is considered
by many to be one of
the best "TropRock"
song writers and entertainers in the country.
As an entertainer, Jack
has performed all over
the United States and
the Caribbean and has
opened shows for artist such as Johnny Cash, Tanya
Tucker, Phil Vassar, The Warren Brothers, and Bad
Company to name a few. Jack is a natural born story
teller and that is obvious when you listen to the songs
he writes. It is no wonder that his early influences
were Dan Fogleberg, Harry Chapin and Jimmy
Buffett. Jack & His Band will kick off our party with
an awesome rockin show on Friday Night.
That's right. Together again on stage at the same
time. Sunny Jim & John Frinzi both said they're having a lot of fun doing this show and they're takin' it
on the road and bringin' it to you here at the 13th
Birthday Bash on Sunday. You won't want to miss
this one. James will get us goin' with our morning
exercise tune, ‘Blue Skys’ and ‘Monkey Party’. John
will keep us going with his ‘Songs to Sing’. What we
do know is that we'll positively have a wonderful
time watching and singing along with James & John.
Jimmy Parrish & the
Ocean Waves Band
A
native
Floridian and longtime resident of
Jacksonville, Jimmy’s
been singing and
playing for twentyseven years and performing
actively
along the east coast since 1990. After forming The Ocean
Waves Band in 2000, his goal was to entertain the Parrot Heads
and audiences throughout the region with an island style tropical flavor.
Jimmy and The Ocean Waves Band’s music has grown
quite large in popularity over the years, especially with the
release of their 2007 all-original CD, “Let’s Go Fishin” and
continue to headline festivals, and perform at major resorts,
corporate functions, beachside tiki bars, and clubs from Myrtle
Beach to Miami.
The band won the Next Big Star Competition and last
August experienced the dream of a lifetime: opening for country superstar Kenny Chesney. This high energy band will help
kick off our big party in June. Wanna a taste of what's to come?
Check
out
this
video
from
U-Tube;
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWc4R_ePiMA
Plans are in order to expand their fan base by heading
where else….south, make a U-turn in Monroe County, then
continue up Florida’s west coast over to the panhandle up into
Alabama, all the while performing and promoting this new collection of island music.
The Trop-Rock genre has grown by leaps and bounds in
recent years, which in part explains why Jimmy performed 120
shows last year, and this year will top out around 150! The
Ocean Waves Band is made up of a group of incredibly talented musicians that have earned a significant and loyal following
in the northeast Florida area.
"Caribbean Chillers
Tropical Rockin' Duo”
Thanks to Jimmy Buffett’s
great music, it's always a
party when Jason and the
Chillers are on stage! The
full band rocked our socks
off at our 12th Birthday Bash
and we had to bring them back for our Luck 13th. This year
the duo will be performing poolside on Saturday afternoon.

L E E & C O M PA N Y
a poem by Victor Fleiger
We headed down to Key West for the Meeting of the Minds,
a Parrot Head gathering, of all different kinds.
Beginning with a "Welcome Phlockers" in Largo of the Keys,
"Margarita?"......... "Why thank you.... Yes,....... Please".
Weather was cool the opening part of our way,
but we didn't care, traveling down ole' A1A.

Made it to the room, excitement filling the air,
but to our surprise, there was someone there.
Jumped out into the hall and back to the desk,
so many Parrot Heads. Oh, what a mess.
Finally found the right room, with our own beds,
home for the week, for three Parrot Heads.
The party started as if with a gun,
"Libations for all, let's all have some fun"!
Musicians performing on stages all around,
people clapping, and singing, swaying to their sound.
There's Latitude, Sunny, Peter, Scott, and Mr. Morris,
Don't they sound great? Sing along, you know the chorus.
Lou Davis
Rum Jumbie shots always an arm's reach away,
Margaritas, Rum and beer every day.
There's even a bar, with a stage on top,
Where they play 'Rock' with just the right amount of 'Trop’.
So much excitement, so much fun,
so much music.........and so much sun. (ouch)

Singles and groups singing songs all around,
everywhere we go such wonderful sound.
Parrot Heads with neon bands on their wrists,
that bright color it couldn't be missed.
"Don't I know you?," you might overhear,
"Didn't we dance last night over there?"
Truman's tree grows tall and proud,
circled by the ever growing crowd.
"Another Rum Jumbie shot for you Ken, Mon?"
The sombrero on this bottle just won't stay on.
Let's drink it all down, who's turn for a toast?
This place is so great don't know what I love most.
We lost Captain Tony while we were there,
and Buffett didn't to show for the umpteenth year.
But the great weather, the music,the friends and the beer,
kept us happy, sometimes goofy, and glad we were there.
So until next year we bade Key West farewell.
Everyone had a blast, as from these words you can tell.

Everyone Has A Story Cruising with John Frinzi & James "Sunny Jim" White
Picture yourself lounging,
on the back deck of a cruise ship
interviewing two of the most popular, not to mention handsome &
talented, entertainers in the field of
Trop Rock music. Well that was
my assignment in January while on
the John Frenzi/Sunny Jim Cruise
to Cozumel. I know, it's a tough
job, but some one has to do it!
Since John and Sunny Jim
will be playing on Sunday afternoon at our Lucky 13 Birthday
Bash, I wanted to go behind the
scenes and ask the tough questions…..Coffee or Tea? Wheat or
White Bread? Boxers or Briefs? I
think you get the picture. Here goes…..
Q. Where do you call home?
S.J. was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas.
J.F. A small town in New Jersey near Poconos.
Q. How did you and your family end up in Florida?
S.J. is married to Adela. They met in Grand Cayman
while he was a pool side strummer at the Hyatt Resort.
They had twin girls and wanted them to be raised in the
United States which moved their family to Brownsville,
Texas. After searching the country for a school for gifted
students they decided on Pineview in Sarasota. They
moved to Sarasota, where James continued to pursue his
musical career and Adela took care of the business aspects
of the job.
J.F. is also married; his wife's name is Margo. They
have a 4 year old son who is interested in music; he likes
the piano and drums. Margo also handled the business end
of John's career until she went back to school to be an elementary school teacher. They now live in Lakeland
Florida, where there is no snow in winter and it makes it
easier for John to travel to his many jobs in the area.
Q. What is your musical background?
S.J. has had about 6 months of piano lessons. He wrote
his first poetry in the 4th or 5th grade. He played his first
gig at age 15 at which he made about $25.00 per hour. At
age 18 or 19 he started seriously playing. He has been in
the music business for 27 years, and can play his guitar
with the best of them. SJ has always had the ability to
remember the words to any song, a night with S.J. can be
anything from the Rock & Roll to Country - Western to
Raggae to Buffett and a lot of his own music thrown in. It
is very common to see him sitting in with any band play-
ing the steel drums or guitar; he can
tell what cord some one is going to
play by watching the back of their
hand. James feels he is more a fan
of music, than a musician.
J.F. had years and years of piano
lessons and wrote his first song in
the 7th grade. The first band he
played in was in grade school, but
"HIS" first band was at age 16,
which made him popular with the
girls. It elevated him to "Rock Star"
status, at that point he was hooked!
John has a degree in TV and Radio.
He worked in the fashion industry
in Hoboken for a short period of
time, but decided that was not for
him. John was always the keyboard man in his Rock &
Roll band. After going thru 14 base players in the first year,
he decided to become a guitar player. The rest as they say
is history. John plays ballads, Sinatra, Rock & Roll, Trop
Rock, Buffett, his own music, and about anything else in
between.
Q. James, how did you get the stage name "Sunny
Jim"?
S.J. In 1981 the drummer with whom he started a band,
Andy Arrow, called him that because of his relentless
cheerful outlook. Andy got the name from one of the characters in the Beatles movie, ‘Hard Day's Night.’ James
used the name in various gigs through out the 80's. In 1988
at the Treasure Island Resort in Cayman he & his band
"The Marvels" had a weekly game show for scuba instructors with "your host Sunny Jim" From that point everyone
on the island called him Sunny Jim. When he came to the
Parrot Head world in 1998 it stuck. Now you know the rest
of the story (God bless Paul Harvey)
Q. How do you feel when the place is rocking and every
one is singing and dancing to your music?
S.J. & J.F. They feel it is an honor to perform, and
have fans come out to listen to them. Nothing surprises
them anymore while performing, esp. S.J., when the monkeys start flying, people ride fake ponies, arms wave in the
air, Rum Jumbies are passed around. You just have to
come to their show on Sunday, June 14th and be part of the
fun these guys create. You will be singing and dancing
with two of the nicest, most down - to - earth people I have
ever had the privilege to interview.
