Foxy is 70

Wow, that will be quite the party we are sure. If you are free and have FWB (friend with boat) you really should make this part of your weekend. And then send us pictures.

It was only a few months ago that Foxy’s Tamarind Bar itself turned 40, so 2008 has been especially grand for the BVI’s most-famous troubadour.

And if you go, ask Foxy about his current pet project. A boat he’s building in his own back yard. A classic sloop based on a traditional West Indian design being built for educational purposes with funding from, among others, Kenny Chesney.

If by chance you have no idea who Foxy is, watch this for a little taste of one very entertaining, and soon-to-be 70 year old Virgin Islands legend.

   Happy birthday to Foxy and many more!

   I think my favorite Foxy story is that he was walking around the bar in the morning when it was kind of dead and some tourists were hanging around being loud and obnoxious so Foxy started singing a little ditty about them sand guitar and they got mad and said, “Who’s THAT guy” then proceeded to take a picture with the Foxy dummy in the back of your picture.

   Happy Birthday from the Napa Valley, Foxy!! I so wish I could be there to celebrate with you! I’m sure it will be quite a party. We’ll open a good vintage here and toast in your honor. Cheers!

   Wearing a Foxy’s T-Shirt from 1997 when opening the web site today. Went there with some of the staff from the “Bitter End”. Wow, what a great time we had that day and long into the night….! Woke up in a boat, back at the club the next morning.

    Hi Laura,

    I’m in Yountville, just a hop skip and a jump from you! I hate to brag but aren’t we the lucky ones, splitting our time between the Napa Valley and the Virgin Islands. Life’s good!

    Happy Birthday again, to Foxy!
