UF Library: Jimmy Buffett Collection

Post by Desdamona »

Why didn't I know about this when I was in school there?
(Probably because I was there in '85-'88 and it didn't exist yet! :roll: )

I remember seeing something else on this recently. And while driving through town a couple weeks ago I thought it might be a neat collection to take a look at but I wasn't quite sure how on earth I'd figure out where to look.... :roll: :lol:

I've seen that one. Not very good quality. Jimmy and Fingers. He does a RAP version of Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Fingers does Jackson Police.
