Today I listened to JB’s concert from Key West done 02/09/2023 on XM. Just before singing Cheeseburger in Paradise he said he needed to clear the air on where it originated. He said it did not originate in Key West as most believe. He said it was actually not written anywhere in Florida as some have claimed. It was written on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. He did not name CGB or Stanley’s. But told a lengthy story of sailing from Key West to Tortola and the storms they encountered along the way. Once on Tortola they found a place that served cheeseburgers made with beef not horse to his surprise. 6 cheeseburgers were eaten along with 12 pina colada's. While on the island the song was written. The story of the journey to Tortola was true Jimmy hilarious.


Go Irish!!
