Thank you for your input the family decided the final song would be Lovely Cruise.

My first reaction was Lovely Cruise but perhaps there are others that would be nice.

I’ve been asked for some ideas on songs that would be suitable for a funeral service. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The person is a true PH so the family knows he would appreciate the thought.

Cincy Atlanta Boston Chicago Vegas Houston New Orleans Key West Dallas Gulf Coast I think jimmy is still doing well enough to play anywhere. I think its a real tribute to JB and his fan base that he has gone as long as he has already. Also for the most part the shows aren't tanking, just not totally...

1- Gulf Shores Alabama- 40,000 plus for the "oil spill benefit" as Jimmy would say "you had to be there" it was a moment. Gave new meaning to Mother,Mother Ocean. 2- Margaritaville New Orleans- 250 inside, 5,000 plus outside, front row part of the time, nothing better. 3- Austin ...

All very well said, I too love that song and have heard it a few times live, it feels like a freedom song, an escape lifestyle for a long list of reasons that Jimmy sings about, including those "Renegade Pesos"! Although Steve deservedly gets the credit for the writing, Jimmy has done a lo...

I may or may not have heard him sing this as an opening song, "The Pascagoula Run", but it would be a nice original work for such a moment.

Interesting discussion, I guess no right or wrong answers, just differing opinions. I do think Finsup is at the heart of the matter. Basically Jimmy is in the trap of his own success, no matter what he does or does not sing, he will be second guessed to some degree. I have to say it doesn't bother m...

I think the above comments are so true with todays market place. Some years ago his shows were 3-5 minute sell outs and you could never get in phones or commuters. Once I went to my office and we had six phones calling plus computers, zero tickets purchased. I don't think Orange Beach Alabama was a ...

Mac is awesome for sure, so glad anytime he gets recognition for his achievements! I got to see him live at Lulu's, very enjoyable. I think most of us know a lot about him, but if you don't he is the real deal, check him out!

All great opinions for sure, for me, if the tour name was Beach Balls and BBQ, and Jimmy was performing then I am good with it. I like the new name, it has a nice ring to it, much better than Farewell Tour! In the news section it quoted Jimmy as saying his most difficult period of time was when he l...

"Birds Of A Feather Flocking Together"

The value, energy and enthusiasm to maintain a collection of anything Jimmy Buffett, in mint condition, PRICELESS!

In a normal process this would be a very WOW moment but in our world we are probably over thinking it, me included. I have seen JB live 29 times and the Eagles 5, and I would not hesitate to see either again. The stadium shows are different for sure but for the Bands its a money/legacy thing, I thin...

If your in Key West, Oct 13 thru 15 stop by the Green Parrot and check out Roxy Roca, (roxyroca.com) Taye Cannon, the Front Man is my son. Great music and Good times.

My sons Band Roxy Roca from Austin, Texas has been notified their October 13,14,15 dates at the Green Parrot are still a go, so that looks like at least Key West is making it back. They will be touring all Month so they were waiting on the word for that leg off the Tour. You can follow them at roxyr...

It seems I vaguely remember that inserted into a song, but for some reason, seems like it was BEG. Just a guess

I can only speculate on this but there are no mention of it from the inner Buffett Circles, also I don't think he has ever mentioned it, there is no mutual book signings that I know about, I didn't see it at Lulu's. It happens often where the subject keeps quiet, and the book just runs its course. I...

This falls into the personal choice category as far as what to make of this newest book. Typically if I am a supporter of someone, in this case Jimmy Buffett, and he opposes something very personal to him, like the story of his Life, then I just never purchase the book. As far as political issues, o...

Creola would certainly not be in the bottom of my list. I love the song, likely the writer missed the meaning, because he doesn't know the origination of the song, but he is entitled to his opinion.
