I always hoped he’d do a concert in Nova Scotia, considering that’s where his ancestors are from[/quote]
Just to set the record straight... Jimmy's grandfather (the Sailor in SOASOAS and the Captain in TCATK) did live in Nova Scotia as a young man, but he was born and reared in Rose Blanche, in what was then the British Colony of Newfoundland. Jimmy still has many 2nd cousins living there (I have met a few of them), and there are more people with the surname Buffett per square kilometre living on the island of Newfoundland than anywhere else in the world, with the possible exception of Norfolk Island.
