Anchors Aweigh, Jimmy.

1946-2023

"As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
And I learned much from both of their styles"

And he taught us what he learned...

RIP Scalawag.

 

R.I.P.

 

A sad day indeed. Tin Cup Chalice hitting harder today. Grateful that my lady and I got to see him in Raleigh last year.

 

RIP

 

RIP, Jimmy.

 

I never got the chance

 

RIP

 

It's always 5 o'clock there.

 

Whenever we pulled into Key West in a boat my buddy had to play Jimmy Buffet!! RIP! Jimmy Buffet,,,,, a Pina Colada from Captiva Island (they make the best in the world!!). Or used too? sounds good right now!

 

This was the song I picked for the father/daughter dance at my oldest's wedding.

Man, this was a tough one to hear. My college buddies and I used to road-trip it to a show every year. Some great memories (from what I can recall )

Feel very fortunate to have seen him in May. Definitely going to have a loaded landshark or two today (landshark lager with a shot of tequila in it).


RIP Jimmy. Thanks for all the memories!

Cheers to you old friend

 

Yes. Sad news to hear, my fam and I saw him in Nashville back in 2013, actually the same day George Jones died. I grew up listening to Buffett as my dad listened to it, and I loved the laid back vibe. He’ll be missed.

 

When I saw him in Nashville, they showed a video before the show of a guy outside the arena sitting against a wall and busking. Turns out it was Jimmy in a hat and sunglasses. He came on stage after the video and said “and I made six dollars and fifty cents .. not bad for a honest days works.” (Forget the actual value but it wasn’t much)

started the show with “I will play for gumbo”
