--Okay listen this is this is like footage from the first Paul Alexander Nolan
vlog for Broadway.com. And this is my first time playing with Jimmy, down at
The Green Turtle in Isla Murata. That is Norbert Leo Butz behind him, believe it
or not, and my wife Keelie. She snuck in she's so wily. Okay let's, as I get better
at this we'll get more handsome footage. For now, I'm just shooting anything I can.
My name is Paul Alexander Nolan and we are doing the vlog for broadway.com. I'm
standing outside my dressing-room door and right now, I have several people from
The View here, about to put some clothes on me for tomorrow's appearance with
Jimmy Buffett on The View. I am I'm going to play a song with him on the show and
see how that goes.
--We're just getting ready for the View tomorrow, in which
showing up the playing a little music with Jimmy Buffett
It will be my third time playing with
Jimmy in public.
Well, if you don't include when he shows up at our show and plays our curtain call with us.
--How do you feel?
--It's sick.
It's like sick but...
--They won't know where Jimmy is standing.
--Who knew? I know.
What we have there is total kindness and love
from my wife because today I'm up early
to go do The View with Jimmy on their show. So I've just jumped out of the
shower. Here I'm in my bathrobe and going to get some coffee in me. Yesterday
was the Today Show, so we're we're a little pooped. We're a little bit pooped
and tomorrow is the gym before two shows.
--All right guys. Here we are. We're already
at the view. Um you saw me making my coffee this morning and waking up
groggily. I'm still kind of groggy, but the fun thing today is gonna be you know
seeing me transform from my Canadian costume. I pretty much wear this every
day since since I got it. And tuning the guitars, maybe Jimmy will come and say
hi, and perhaps we'll see little footage from The View this morning. Enjoy.
--Let me
show you where your room is. That's another guy.
--Who's that guy. --I don't know.
--There you go look at
this! -- Look at this my name's on the door
and everything. --Got some furniture from
Ikea here, guitars here.
--Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Marshall. --This is a nice. This is a very
small refrigerator. There's coffee, tea.
A couple of breakfast bars here. --Excellent. Thank you.
--There's Whoopi. --Maybe just because I
can, I'll drink all the whole milk in
the fridge. --Guys here we are. We're we're in the dressing room
still. We're going to tune up for the soundcheck here at The View. Guitar's in good
shape. This is one I play for most of the show. If you see this show, I play another
guitar for part of Act Two, for various reasons. If you haven't seen it I won't
spoil it. But we're in freaking tuned already we're gonna tune Jimmy's in a
bit, but yeah this is my beautiful Martin d-28.
I love it it's the mermaid. And I think we might be playing this one.
[guitar picks]
I wish I was living on sponge cake, but I eat ketogenic diet. Watching the sun bake.
I got caught in such a lie because I can't eat that cake
that's on stage because It's got sugar and bread and like and flour something
and I just did such a bad job of finding a reason not to put it in my mouth.
And so I just was the worst actor ever. Hilarious. All right the thing that's
really special about this guitar is not only the Jimmy's gonna be playing it, but
he's had this guitar since the 70s, I believe. If he hasn't had it since the
70s it is a 1974 or 72 Martin d-28. And it's in spectacular shape. We rehearsed a
little bit with this, but I was terrified of breaking it. So we got some new ones,
but let me just just tune this one up as well. But maybe Jimmy when he gets here
will tell us a little more about it.
This one needs...
This is pretty uninteresting, though, isn't it?
Okay note to self, when you go on public TV, you
have to have a pg-13 mermaid.
This is the mermaid on guitar, and she started the
day feeling very free and open in the nude, but she has since got the coconut
bikini.
--Final touches. It's now or never. If I look good it's because of her.
Here we go,
and booyah.
--I'm gonna pick that guitar up, see how comfy we are playing. Are
we good to do that?
--Yeah. --Feel so like I
feels like a statue. Yeah, this good [guitar strums]
--All right we're ready to go let's do this.
Thank You Elle. --My pleasure.
[applause]
--All right guys. That is our first episode of Beach Bum. And I'm signing off, so I
hope you enjoyed The View and getting to see them clean me up. I'm back into my
lumberjack shirt now and I'm it's 7 o'clock, made some coffee, gonna get the changes
for a preview number 15 into my head. New song starting the show tonight, and so
I'm gonna take out the guitar and learn those now. Thanks for watching.
