From the Washington Post:
Harry M. Dailey, 51, a bass guitarist who played and sang with Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band and was a co-author of the Buffett hit “Volcano,” died of an apparent heart attack April 18 at his home in Falls Church. He had suffered over the years with illnesses that included the Epstein-Barr viral ailment.
Mr. Dailey worked with Buffett from 1975 to 1982. He contributed to Buffett recordings that included “Havana Daydreamin’,” “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” “Son of a Son of a Sailor,” “You Had To Be There,” “Volcano,” “Coconut Telegraph” and “Somewhere Over China.” He last recorded with Buffett at a Coral Reefer reunion concert two years ago.
The band was originally a fictitious group Buffett would refer to onstage when he worked solo. He formed a touring group in the mid-1970s that included Mr. Dailey.
