<<Someone must check my memory about the BRK annual meeting where Jimmy was featured. When waiting for the meeting to start, the announcer says - in the Johnny Carson intro style - "Here's Buffett". And Jimmy walked out on the stage. The crowd erupted in laughter and then Warren joined him. That's what I recall at least.>>

What I remember is the Movie ending and then an announcer in kind of a game show announcer
voice saying "Ladies and Gentlemen Please Welcome Mr. Buffett." And then someone comes out from
behind the curtain barefoot,wearing blue cutoff shorts and Hawaiian shirt holding a guitar.

At first the crowd was stunned and after they recognized who it was loud applause.
Jimmy Buffett began singing "Wasting Away in Berkshire Hath-A-Way-A-Ville" to the
tune of Wasting Away in Margaritaville.

The lyrics were changed to Berkshire references which I unfortunately
cannot remember (16 years ago)except for the Wasting Away in Berkshire Hathaway A Ville part.

When Warren and Charlie took the stage Warren told the crowd how they did their
best to sneak Jimmy into the Hilton the previous night so the surprise was not
ruined.
