The Lucy Buffett & Mac McAleer Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.
Are you here?
If you’re here, just know that we appreciate you. Thanks for tuning into The Paul Leslie Hour.
We’re honored to present Paul’s interview with Lucy Buffett and Mac McAleer. This interview with Lucy and Mac was recorded at Lucy’s restaurant LuLu’s at Homeport in Gulf Shores, Alabama on March 10, 2007. It was originally broadcast on the radio, during the Stars Fell on Alabama festival.
LuLu’s is a place renowned for fun, food and music. No doubt, many of you heard the sad news about Jimmy Buffett, Lucy’s brother. Fun, food and music were a big part of his life as well. We were heartbroken to hear about Jimmy’s passing on September 1st.
If you’ve been listening to The Paul Leslie Hour you know how many people and events from the Jimmy Buffett world have been covered here. And some of you know, Paul’s very first broadcasts were heard on Jimmy Buffett’s Radio Margaritaville in 2003. To honor the troubadour of the tropics, we’re bringing out this interview with his sister Lucy and brother-in-law Mac. You’ll hear in Lucy’s voice something of her brother. You’ll recognize the same joyous spirit and childlike enthusiasm.
Carson Forrester, a listener of The Paul Leslie Hour and a boatbuilder commented the other day on Paul’s instagram. He said “heart breaking Paul, keep the stories coming.” Well ladies and gentlemen, that’s what we’re going to do. Please subscribe to Paul Leslie’s YouTube channel and don’t forget to hit the bell. We’ll keep the stories alive.
And with that, I think we’re all ready to listen. Here’s Lucy Buffett and Mac McAleer on a beautiful coastal day.

Beth Petty of the Hank Williams Museum Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour
The Beth Petty of the Hank Williams Museum Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour. Interview originally broadcast in 2009.
Are you here?
Thank you for being here, tuned in to The Paul Leslie Hour. We are pleased to present the Beth Petty interview as we say “Hats off to Hank!” You see Beth Petty is something of a Hank Williams expert, as you’ll soon find out.
The year 2023 is the Centennial year of Hank Williams, 100 years since his birth and well…let me tell you a bit more.
On this episode we’re taking you to Montgomery, Alabama for an interview focusing on the great Hank Williams considered the Father of Contemporary Country Music. Born on September 17, 1923 in Mount Olive, Alabama, Hank Williams began playing music after his mother gave him a guitar at 8 years old. Hank Williams learned his singing style in part from a blues street singer named Rufus “Teetot” Payne.
Williams went on to perform across the United States. He had many hit songs and was a favorite on radio and television. Hank Williams was and perhaps is the greatest country star of all times. Hank Williams passed away on January 1, 1953 at 29 years old.
Yet Hank Williams music continues to get new fans. His songs are known by everyone. You cannot get much more “American” in music than Hank Williams. His songs were covered by countless musicians from Johnny Cash to Willie Nelson. Patsy Cline to Jimmy Buffett. George Strait. George Jones. They all recorded his songs.
Even when people do not know the name Hank Williams, people from around the globe know the songs…”Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “There’s a Tear in My Beer,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Jambalaya,” “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive,” and of course “Hey Good Lookin’.”
Hank Williams’ legacy lives on at the Hank Williams Museum in beautiful Montgomery, Alabama where this interview was recorded. On this episode we are joined by Beth Petty. She’s the manager of the Hank Williams Museum. It is a museum filled with photographs, press clippings, and numerous personal artifacts belonging to the late Hank Williams including his personal Nudie suits, instruments and many fascinating exhibits.
We want you to be sure to go to http://www.thehankwilliamsmuseum.net There will be some upcoming event for Hank 100. You’ll find out about it there.
Please also consider supporting The Paul Leslie Hour – yes, keep us going and proudly independent. Go right here: http://www.thepaulleslie.com/support and give yourself and others the gift of stories.
I think everyone’s ready to hear the interview with Beth Petty, all about one of the most important figures of music – for all times. Let’s listen. Together.

Bahama Bob Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour
The Bahama Bob Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.
Are you here?
Oh… you must be busy… busy, being here. Thank you for joining us right here, on The Paul Leslie Hour.
We’ve got an interview with Bahama Bob that’s been just waiting to come out. It originally broadcast on the radio in 2007, but the interview itself was recorded in a very nice hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.
Bahama Bob you may be asking? Some of you already know. When your host Paul first became aware of Bob, his first thought was: “He seems like a real baller.” Good word to look up in the dictionary: “baller.”
This man, Bahama Bob splits his time between living in the United States and the Bahamas. He is a boater, operator of a Bahamian resort, oh and he’s a Jimmy Buffett fan, too. So he’s got that going for him. Which is nice.
This is a man who has taken life by the teeth, and has worked hard, but maximized fun. Bahama Bob is going to share with you some of his philosophies in life…which includes kissing frogs (in the metaphorical sense.) He is a man who truly has the island spirit.
Before we begin the interview, I’d like to invite you to please help us out by subscribing to Paul Leslie’s YouTube channel. We’re trying to get to 3,800 subscribers by mid-October. We just had a big, big boost. We thank you for that. Subscribing is easy and free.

Let’s get into the who. This is an interview with Mark Fragale. Mark was the curator of the Honolulu Surf Museum which was located at Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber, Jimmy Buffett’s restaurant and bar. Mark is considered an expert on surfing history. He has lived in Hawaii since the 1970s.
Mark Fragale’s surfing story began in 1962 when at the age of 12 years old he saw a surfer gliding across the water on the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of New Jersey. He was hooked and so began his lifelong love for the sport of surfing!

ALO Returns Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour
The ALO Returns Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.
Are you here? That’s the first question. The second question is, “how ya doin’?” We’re all about our proper greetings here on The Paul Leslie Hour.
This interview from the archives is Paul’s second interview with ALO.
ALO is a rock band from California. In an age when bands come and go, ALO continues to make records and perform around the world. Now you may be asking where that name – ALO comes from. Well they were formerly known as the Animal Liberation Orchestra back when they started in Santa Barbara, California.
ALO is signed to the Brushfire Records label and they’re still touring to this day.
Real quick, can you subscribe to Paul Leslie’s YouTube channel? It’s the best way to stay up to date with all of Paul’s interviews. Totally free too.
Now, there is something to be said for the “backstage” interview, isn’t there. Well, this is one of them. ALO was opening up for singer-songwriter Jack Johnson when Paul caught up with them. And this interview recorded before the show is an enjoyable artifact. So let’s listen together.
And, oh… What do you think about James Brown’s advice to the band?
