Born in the shadow of the Bavarian Alps, he loves palm trees, sandy beaches and tropical sun. He doesn't know an E flat from an A minor, but he's composed about 2,000 songs and recorded 500.

He's to the Caribbean what Jimmy Buffet is to Key West, but everyone knows George Nowak only as "Barefoot." George has worked his rhythmic wonders on the island since he sank his toes in the sand here in 1971.

And at Total Submersion 2009, guests of Sunset House will be heading out to a private party at Rum Point and enjoy great Caribbean food and "Barefoot" and his band (The Barefoot Man and Band)!

When islanders and visitors come, they hear Barefoot's music. "It's like an island drink concoction: a mixture of calypso with a bit of reggae and soca, garnished with a little country and plenty of humor...put it in a blender and you dance to the beat....

The 10th annual Total Submersion will take place May 9 - 16th, 2009. This will be one of the standout weeks celebrating the resorts 50th anniversary.
