Also in 1999, Buffett's "Spirit – A Journey in Dance Drums and Song" aired on PBS as a highly successful pledge break special. Combining modern and American Indian dancers with Director and Choreographer Wayne Cilento, "Spirit" went on to tour through the end of 1999. In 2004, Buffett worked with Jody Ripplinger and Frank Anderson to create "Spirit –The Seventh Fir"e; an updated version of his earlier show. It was premiered on the National Mall during the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in its 800-seat theater tent.
