We Parrotheads are a strange breed. Half pagan, half party animal, half class clown and 100% totally insane.
Jimmy's passing this last week at age 76 was a blow. Since the 1974 song "Come Monday" Jimmy had always been there with me.
But all things must pass.
I am reminded of shopping a few months ago and a totally obscure Buffett song was playing in the store. I did not even know it was on, but I found myself singing along out loud word for word.
Parrotheads understand. Buffett's greatest hits album was titled: Songs You Know by Heart. We did know those songs by heart and we sang along at every concert.
Jimmy was a Master Poet and a creator of dreams.
Jimmy once said, "I'm not a great guitar player or a great singer, but I'm a great Jimmy Buffett."
Thanks for the memories.
