Jimmy Buffett

One wealthy, fanatical Parrot Head will soon be able to say that they got seasick on the very same vessel that Jimmy Buffett once scooted around in when the late βBoat Drinksβ singer and Florida-core lifestyle mogulβs former yacht goes up for auction.

Just wait until you hear about the night that Buffett indulged his impulsive side and randomly stole a taxi cab.

Jimmy Buffett, 1977
βOne of his mottos was, have fun, make money and leave the world a better place..."

"And I've never been west of New Orleans
Or east of Pensacola
My only contact with the outside world
Was an RCA Victrola
And Elvis would sing and then I'd dream about expensive cars
And who would've figured twenty years later
I'd be rubbing shoulders with the stars..."

Casual Jimmy Buffett fans will know his biggest hits. But, few know the depths of his songwriting. While his most successful songs were certainly those about his time seaside, drink in hand, he has a plethora of tracks that take an entirely different approach.

The late βMargaritavilleβ singer had bought three houses on the same street. Two have sold since last summer, and the final one just landed under contract.

"Thereβs no way you can replace Jimmy. We still leave his microphone open in the middle of the stage and have his guitar sittinβ on the stage."

Was told this is Louie's Backyard.
Jimmy Buffett. Back in the early days, when he still had to work for tips.

βWhat does New Orleans mean to me?β said Buffett. βWhere do I start? It means a whole hell of a lot.β

I interviewed Jimmy Buffett in December 2020 and read this 1977 quote back to him, and asked if it's the most wrong he's ever been. He laughed uproariously.
βWe're a family. Jimmy wants us to continue and we want to continue,β said Coral Reefer Band singer and guitarist Mac McAnally. βThereβs ongoing discussions about the best way to do that, the most practical way to do that and how to do it in a way that is worthy of the legacy that weβre part of.β
"The city wants to put its imprint on the Buffett legacy, creating a must-visit spot for funky and laid-back Parrot Heads and curious history buffs alike."

Has a nice ring to it.

βI found a lifestyle, and I knew that whatever I did would have to work around my lifestyle.β

Love it!
The Margaritaville empire "started as a funky gift shop down at Lands End Village, across from the Half-Shell Raw Bar in 1984" -- a few yards from the Key West shrimp boats.

"For young Jimmy, the Gulf of Mexico was the doorway to a world of adventure where the characters he heard about in his grandfather's stories were waiting to be discovered. It only took a guitar to take him off course from the life his parents had imagined for him."

Strange days, indeed!
"Everybody wants to go where itβs warm, and everybodyβs image of a vacation is sittinβ by the beach with whatever your cold drink is you want there."

"I got a job as a mate on a fishing boat so I played by day, go raise hell all night, sleep for a few hours, and then get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and go catch fish. So I thought, 'I have got this made. This is pretty cool!'"

Indeed! Pleased to connect!
"I'm an average singer, I'm an average guitar player... But I can tell entertaining stories; I can pack in a lot of material and create a great atmosphere. That's the party that people come for and that's what I want to offer - a great amount of fun, a huge party."
