From the Florida Times-Union: Concert review Coral Reefer Band carries on Jimmy Buffett's legacy at Jacksonville show
How do you replace a legend like Jimmy Buffett? You don't, of course. But if you're his long-time Coral Reefer Band, you can still play his songs well enough that fans might finally accept that the empty microphone at center stage is the closest they're ever going to get. ... See MoreSee Less
City of Mobile asking artists to submit proposals for bronze sculpture honoring Gulf Coast native Jimmy Buffett
A ‘larger than life’ tribute to music legend and Mobile native, Jimmy Buffett, is set to be installed on the waterfront at the Port City’s National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico.
The sculptor will have to be talented to be able to capture Jimmy's likeness. He is a tough subject. Also, what era Jimmy will be considered? His mid 1970s persona is perfect; his early 1980s character is equally acceptable.
A patina'd bronze would look better than the polished and lacquered surface.
Wow Dawn Jackson Smith will be blowing her hole about that.
Thank you to the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico!
From People: How Jimmy Buffett's Daughter Delaney Honors the Late Singer in Her New Movie: 'Always Wanted to Pay Tribute'
Jimmy Buffett's daughter Delaney Buffett is sharing how she paid tribute to her father in her new movie.
Delaney, an actor, director, writer and movie producer, recently shared her directorial debut Adult Best Friends. She tells PEOPLE that she "always wanted to pay tribute to my dad in some way even before" the "Margaritaville" singer died at 76 in 2023. www.buffettnews.com/2025/03/06/32522/... See MoreSee Less
It’s The Paul Leslie Hour with a review of Jimmy Buffett’s second album High Cumberland Jubilee, sometimes called the “lost album.†In fact, it’s Buffett’s most obscure LP.
It’s been called the lost album. That’s a pretty good description for High Cumberland Jubilee, the second album of Jimmy Buffett, and if you want to get technical (which let’s face it — we do): It’s actually the first album Buffett set out to make as an album, whereas Down to Earth was just a collection of songs that were recorded to be nothing more than demos.
What most people don’t know about High Cumberland Jubilee is that the songs on this album inspired Buffett and his pal, the journalist Gerry Wood, to write a screenplay loosely based on the lyrics. It never made the big screen, but this part of the story feels like classic Buffett.
The story goes that while on board a train, Buffett and Wood (who would go on to be the editor-in-chief of Billboard magazine) continued to write the script. www.buffettnews.com/2025/03/03/32517/... See MoreSee Less
Well, butter my margarita and call me a beach bum—Island Time Sunglasses, the official eyewear brand of Margaritaville, just dropped the ultimate game-changer. Say hello to their newest shades, featuring a built-in bottle opener, because who needs a bar when you’ve got your sunglasses?
Designed for beach bums, tiki bar regulars, and anyone who’s ever wished they had an extra way to pop open a cold one, these stylish sunnies come with a hidden superpower. The sturdy temple arms now double as a bottle opener, meaning you’ll never be caught empty-handed when it’s time to toast to the good life.
“Island Time Sunglasses is all about kicking back and embracing that carefree, flip-flop-wearing, boat-drinking vibe,†said Dylan Roukous, spokesperson for the brand. “Now, with a built-in bottle opener, you’re always just one flick away from cracking open some sunshine.â€

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/...

I still have that album, then bought the CD's because I no longer have a turntable.
