The Student Printz has another article on Jimmy’s visit to University of Southern Mississippi: “Students meet Jimmy Buffett”
“I was really just in the right place at the right time,” said senior Jill Duckworth of her happenstance meeting with famous singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffett on Thursday. “I grew up listening to him, so I recognized him,” said the communications major from Clinton, Miss.
Whether by word of mouth or the Internet, Buffett’s quiet visit soon made itself known to the campus.
“I actually heard that Jimmy Buffett was on campus via Twitter,” said Kyle Nixon.” I immediately sent a text message to one of my best friends, Brett Haro, who is a huge parrothead.” (As any parrothead knows, Buffett’s fans call themselves parrotheads.)
