In the latter years of his career two memorable events stand out that provided Jesse Winchester some well deserved recognition. Video recordings memorialize these tributes to
his legacy.
First, in 2009, he performed on the television series Spectacle, broadcast on the Sundance Channel. This musical-interview program, hosted by Elvis Costello, showcased the talents of singers and songwriters. Jesse Winchester's heartfelt performance of his song Sham A Ling Dong Ding drew an emotional response from those in attendance including a tear from singer-songwriter Nico Case, who was on stage seated next to him.
In the Summer of 2010 Winchester was invited to perform with Jimmy Buffett in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The beach side concert was organized to promote tourism to the Gulf Coast that was recovering from
the devastation caused by the BP oil spill.
The concert was broadcast live over Country Music Television and tens of thousands of people had the opportunity to see
the Rhumba Man perform.
