RIP Jimmy Buffet
<div>Will everyone please have a margarita as soon as they can and toast the President of Margaritaville one last time. There won’t be another like him.</div><div>
He and Willie Nelson thought of you as a friend before they met you.
I wish i could be more like them.
The Son of a Son of a Sailor will be missed. I think i am going to cry.

Jacki,
thanks for writing.
Try to find an alcohol-free margarita. If not have a cheeseburger.

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.

Sad to see Jimmy leave us. Always liked some of his songs, especially ‘Fins” and “Cheeseburgers in paradise”. Thanks Jimmy for everything….

Over the Labor Day weekend, we have an annual dual birthday bash (my wife and her brother share the same date September 1, but 4 years apart) and this year the family coerced me into playing and singing Saturday evening before the birthday fireworks show. As most know Jimmy passed the day before. Of course I had to play Margaritaville and mention his passing prior to playing it in case there were some that hadn’t heard the sad news. Surprisingly (or not?) my voice broke with the emotion as I spoke of him, and it took me a few breaths to collect myself before hitting the intro chords.
I have always enjoyed Jimmy’s music, and his dedicated way of doing his own thing was so refreshing in a world where corporate pressure seems to dictate to so many artists and formulate them according to the corporate ideal. I never had the chance to see him live, but some of my friends did, and they raved about the atmosphere of his performances. Nothing but good vibes and a sharing of positive energy. Of course, now I have more songs of his to learn and put into my slowly growing repertoire. 2023 was a tough year on musicians it seems, we lost some great ones, Jimmy not being the least of any of them.-
Thanks Daryl.
May your repertoire be filled with joy.
Cheers
