Former Key West Mayor Captain Tony Tarracino, left, reminisces Friday night with Jimmy Buffett at the Margaritaville Cafe on Duval Street. The singer/songwriter hosted a private party to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of the opening of the Margaritaville Store and treated guests to an hour of acoustic music and good humor.

Ths Jimmy Buffett hit Trip Around The Sun comes in at number 2 this week on the CMT top 20 countdown. The song is from his smash hit album License To Chill.

Jimmy performed a special show last night celebating the 20th Anniversary for the Margaritaville in Key West. During the show Jimmy said, “You wont here this song on a Kenny Chesney CD, boy that guy sounds like me huh?”

Set List:
My Head hurts, My feet stink
Girl gone crazy oin Caroline street
Havana Daydreaming
Piece of Work
Tin Cup Chalice
Margaritaville
You can’t always get what you want

He then came back on stage later in the night and performed “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Volcano” with the jazz band on stage.

The Rum Punch Bandits are heading back to the Colonial Center in Columbia to headline the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” pre-concert party in the Frank McGuire Room, a 10,000 square foot banquet hall that overlooks Buffett’s stage in the Colonial Center.

Parrotheads can now party all year: Cheeseburger in Paradise opens on Tuesday in Eastgate. It’s named for a Jimmy Buffett song, and since Cincinnati is the Jimmy Buffett mania capital of the world, we probably should have gotten this first. Indianapolis actually got the first one; this is the 12th.

Address: 812 Eastgate North Drive, Eastgate
