From AL.com: Parrot Heads, rejoice! Mobile planning Jimmy Buffett-themed museum experience
Long before Jimmy Buffett strummed a guitar, his family’s story was intertwined with Mobile Bay.
Now, decades later, those roots are drifting back home. The National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico, docked on the Mobile River, is developing an immersive, 5,000-square-foot exhibit celebrating Buffett’s seafaring heritage and legendary island sound. Slated to open in September 2026, the exhibit will bring Buffett’s story full circle, back to the waters where his grandfather once sailed and where his parents built a life on the waterfront. www.buffettnews.com/2025/02/05/32487/...

From Garden & Gun: Remembering the Gentle Giant Who Kept Jimmy Buffett Safe (by Chris Dixon)
Equal parts bodyguard and friend, Charleston Miles became an irreplaceable member of the late singer’s inner circle
On January 14, surrounded by friends, family, and the Carolinas Medical Center staff who came to love him, the man who protected Jimmy Buffett for three-plus decades was taken by cancer at age sixty-six. Charleston Miles had a booming voice (one that was pretty soulful when Buffett called on him to sing), a basso profundo laugh, and a smile wider than his last name. Miles mostly operated backstage or at stage right, but the six-foot-nine North Carolinian was an outsize and remarkable presence in the life of a Southern bard whose fame and resulting safety needs grew as the decades rolled on.
Many are joining Jimmy. I turned 72, on Monday. More of those I love and miss are with Jimmy. I do not fear my turn, there is very left for me here. I will bring your love.❤
He had some stories 😀😀 didn’t know him long or well but he was funny to talk with when we saw him.👍👍
Charleston your giants need some help from up there R.I.P. big man.
I got to meet Charleston twice, in Key West and in Ashville, NC burying an opening of a Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant. He was a towering man that commanded authority. But when you got to know him, he was a kind and gentle soul. Sail on Charleston
Oh no, I always looked forward to seeing Charleston at so many many shows over the years, so sorry to here this news🥲
From American Songwriter: Mac McAnally Reflects on His Journey and His Bond with Jimmy Buffett
For singer, songwriter, and longtime member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, Mac McAnally, life is a symphony. “I hear music in everything,” he shares with American Songwriter. “I hear melody in nature. It’s always sounded like music to me.”
McAnally co-wrote several songs with Buffett, including “Oysters and Pearls,” the closing track to Buffett’s 1999 album, Beach House on the Moon, which McAnally released a cover of in April 2024.
The song has taken on new meaning in the wake of Buffett’s passing from cancer with such lyrics as, It’s something more than DNA that tells us who we are / It’s method and it’s magic, we are of the stars. “He had a more celebratory aspect to and he didn’t mind starting blank or with just a line. I saw a whole other world of how it was possible from how he went about it and learned so much from him,” McAnally says of his friend. “He was fearless about everything all his life. Jimmy had that love for life. To get to stand to the right of that one-man nebula of talent and positive energy for almost four decades was one of the big blessings of my life.” ... See MoreSee Less
His show last Thursday was wonderful. Eric his percussionist equally amazing.
If Mac comes to your area, don’t miss it! We saw him last Friday and he was amazing along with Eric. Both are so talented! Mac is a fabulous storyteller and graciously shared stories about Jimmy and many other musicians he has played with along the way! We loved it!! 😍 🎶🦜🥁
Mac I am sure Jimmy felt the same way about you ,as good as you are and could have played with any band but Jimmy just had something else to him that a lot of people never have the love of life and he shared it with the world

From BuzzFeed: Jimmy Buffett's Tweet About Renaming The Gulf Of Mexico Is Going Viral
Donald Trump has gone all-in on renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."
Google has already said it would comply with the president's executive order and label its maps "Gulf of America."
And now, a certain person has chimed in.
Yes, Jimmy Buffett post-humously went on X and said it should be renamed "Gulf of Margaritaville."
has a good ring to it don't you think?
