I'm 25 and have been a fan since I first heard him in 2001 (can you believe that?).

I was 21, home from school for Christmas break and I was out driving around 2am one night when Margaritaville came on the radio. I thought it was a pretty cool song and thought, "This guy has a real laid back sound that I like, I wonder if he tours." I went out the next day and bought 4 or 5 of his cds for around $5 a piece at a used record store and have been a fan ever since.

I noticed you're from Savannah. I was in Hilton Head for spring break and spent a night out in Savannah. Had the best crab cakes ever while I was there... I think at a place called Belfords? It is a really cool place. Definitly hope to get back there soon.

Old as Dirt

Post by keywestwillie »

Just turned 55 and still enjoy doing everything I did in my late 20's. It just hurts more. Started listening and going to Jimmy's shows
back in the 70's. My how time flies when your having fun. Days like today Ticketmaster will make me age a few more years but the shows and tailgating are worth all the effort. Hope to see many old faces in Atlanta
again this year. Split my off time between Florida and Atlanta but my job takes me all over this great USA. Enjoy Jimmy while we can, we have truely have been blessed by one hell of a story teller. My first date with my wife was at an Atlanta show. She said "Jimmy Who?" Well its been quite a" Lovely Cruise."

I always have to do the math....I seriously can not ever remember how old I am. I love birthdays but I quit having an age around 23!

**counts on toes....borrows neighbors toes....calls boss over, uses her toes....stops there.....we ran out of people in flip flops**

Okay, I'm 38. Don't feel like it....certainly don't act like it! LOL!

Turned 47 on Saturday. That means I've been playing Buffett songs for 30 plus years. Wow, that's a long time.

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.

How old are you?

Post by tg4tikibar »

I am 45; my husband is 45 too. Born a day apart. He's been turned on to Jimmy since 70's. Almost have all the CDs, album, and/or tapes he's ever made. Also has many books by Jimmy.

This will be my son's, age 13, second concert; he is a phan too. His first was in Chicago at Wrigley.
