I've been a Parrot Head since I first heard the songs on albums "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time", "Latitudes and Attitudes", and especially the song "A Pirate Looks at Forty" on "A1A".

I saw him live for the first time at the Berkley Auditorium in 1976. The song "I Live on A Big Round Ball" is still in my mind from that concert. Then many concerts after that one with friends. During the pandemic, he was my main listen!

Being a sailor and enjoying the ocean was the perfect path for me to his music. He will be missed.

    I read this story earlier this week:

    On August 29, Jimmy Buffett shared a video to TikTok (@jimmybuffett) of his pack of cute puppies enjoying a day at the beach. It's adorable and definitely worth the watch. Take a look.

    So true. I saw Chicago last night at our local fair. Great show as always but the 3 remaining original members are pushing 80.

    RIP Jimmy.

    Wore my 1997 Havana Daydreaming shirt and drank two margaritas before dinner last night.

    Jimmy Buffett is the sole person who aspired me to be a professional beach bum.

    Thanks for the great tunes.

    Jimmy Buffett was a unique one for me. I liked , but didn’t love his music, yet I was a big fan of his but necessarily of his music.

    Sorry to hear of his passing and especially to see that it was a four year battle with cancer. That was, most likely, a hard way to go.
