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.

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.

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🥲

💕🙏💕
