Some just hit differently. My dad was a truck driver. We weren’t very close as a kid, but I spent 2 summers on the road with him in college. I can’t count the miles dad and I racked up over those 2 summers listening to every Buffett cassette in chronological order, singing at the top of our lungs. He’s been on all day. Sat out in the garage with a cup of coffee and smiled and cried thinking about those times. Thanks Jimmy for the memories

Agreed. My dad got me into Jimmy's music when I was a kid in the 90's. I've been listening ever since. Immaculate vibes. I generally don't really care about celebrities, but this one's hitting me pretty hard.

Also, as a native born Floridian, Jimmy's music hearkens back to an Old Florida that doesn't exist any more. We shall never see his like again.

Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I cruise along always searchin' for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer....

Wanted to share this with you as the picture reflects that old Florida feel big time ... rest in peace Jimmy ... "Son of a Son of a Sailor" will be the first song played on the beach tomorrow in his memory 🏖

Taken from us too soon. Vaxxed? 90 year old senators who can't remember where they are or what year it is don't just drop dead. Think, sheeple (before THEY make it illegal).
