BATH — As a bassist playing alongside Jimmy Buffett for more than 20 years, “Uncle Jim” Mayer said he’s learned lessons that resonate with kids, many of whom aren’t even familiar with the legendary singer.
“Working with Jimmy is incredible,” Mayer said. “He is an incredible leader. He is as he appears to be: Amazingly light-hearted. I’ve learned a lot from him, mostly that it’s OK to just chill out. He always asks, ‘What’s the easiest way to do this that gets the job done?’ and ‘How can we have the most fun here?’”
“The anti-bullying message is very simple and the bar is very low,” he continued. “I don’t have to convince these kids to go off and fight in a war or change religions. They just have to learn to (leave other kids alone).”
