- How did you spend your quarantine? Jimmy Buffett asked the fans to tell him which songs, not in his usual repertoire, would they like to hear? Within minutes, over 10,000 tracks were requested. Some songs he had to re-learn as it's been so long since he played them! Directed by Jimmy's daughter, Delaney Buffett, the docuseries is an inside look of the stories and inspirations of the songs.
The series has become a fan favorite which of course evolved into recording his favorites with producer/bandmate Mac McAnally and Coral Reefers Peter Mayer and Eric Darken. Available at: smarturl.it/SYDKBH
"The Captain and THIS kid....." And he's trying not to tear up too much. I know the Captain is thrilled to finally be sailing with his grandson again. RIP to both of you.
Right there with you. I can only smile, thinking that must’ve been a great reunion…

This song means a hell of a lot to those of us who were fortunate enough to have a great relationship with their Grandfathers
Delaney and family, thank you for this series but for sharing such insight on your Dad. He sure made our lives better through his writings and persona.
I believe one thing that made JB so dear to so many….he never did red carpet and limos and glam. I live on the gulf coast. I crab. I fish. I play golf. I drink a little beer every now and then. I play my guitar. JB was obviously a happy and simple man regardless his wealth. I’ve listened to his music since 73. I’ll listen to it the rest of my life I’m sure. This loss hurts.
You got that cash though
I’m just a long time fan, nobody of any fame. The best tribute to Jimmy Buffet is to always love his music and his personality. But today I did go to a local restaurant and I ordered a Cheeseburger, French fried potatoes and a cold draft beer. My little tribute to Mr Buffet and his legacy. First beer I’ve had in 50 years, to you Jimmy Buffet and all that you have done. I’m glad to have known you music all these years.
Crushing news. Loved him, loved his zest for life. He leaves behind his music and his spirit to help us carry on.
“He’s somewhere out on that ocean now, a place he ought to be, with one hand on the starboard rail, he’s waving back at me.”
Beautiful moment at the end, the look he gave.
We’ve lost another legend 😢
Rest in peace Jimmy, an Army of Parrot heads are going to miss you 🦜
My wife and I saw Jimmy in concert back in 2015 and he was Great!
😢
This song hits a little too hard tonight.
he’s somewhere on the ocean now, a place he outta be 🏴☠️
Still it’s hard to listen to today!😢
Yes, But thank God Delaney recorded all of this.
@@Stepclimbsunken treasure that I'm so glad we have!
Here because of Jimmy's death. Now this song applies to him. Lyrics I'll never forget. In concert, he once said this was one of his favorites. RIP, Jimmy, thank you.
He’s played “The Captain and the Kid” dozens upon dozens of times and Jimmy is right, somebody got something wrong.
“Some people claim, there’s a woman to blame”
I live in boca raton. I've seen him live 20 times. He has played this song every single time. Its more than 6. And it never gets old. Thanks for posting.
Seen him many many times myself, rip Jimmy💔
This song and he went to Paris always makes my eyes leak. He's waving back at me just kills me.
wow..20 times but 2hy??!
I’ve seen him at least 15 times and you (and he) are right they played it more than 6 times....
He kept trying to tell her that.
Watched this today to honor you Jimmy. Rest in peace you wonderful soul. You’re sailing on the ocean now ✌️🫶☺️
Thank you Delaney and family for sharing these memories..🙏
This was always my favorite Jimmy Buffett song. My grandfather only told stories, we never had a conversation, but as I grew up and everyone hustled around getting meals ready I would sit with him, in the living room, just the two of us, and he would tell me stories of his life. Stories I still carry with me today. My grandfather passed away, one fall, when the "winter took the air" and it all just fit. Thank you Jimmy
Delaney, thank you for these videos.
Your dad was such a huge part of mine and my late brother's lives. My brother got me hooked on JB. He died at the age of 44 in 2001. Each time I play or hear a Jimmy Buffett song I'm reminded of the great times I had with my crazy brother. He was also a big fan of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Imagine that. Thank you for sharing your dad with all of us. He was and will always be a legend.
Jimmy's first two albums are hidden gems
Yeah this was on his first album "Down to Earth" 1970
Always reminded me of my Dad and me.
Without putting any great artist down, Jimmy Buffet is the greatest singer song writer theres ever been been. Just his name puts a smile on your heart. Summers will never be the same
I totally agree. He is so much down to earth...nothing fancy. Just Jimmy. Its a big loss. Just have fun and enjoy life. Thats what he did! And luckily he shared it with us. ❤❤❤
I agree, he is in a class all by himself. He is so humble and positive, people might not understand for a long time, the incredible extent of his influence. What a privilege to live in Jimmy Buffett's world.
RIP Jimmy. Your music meant so much to me for fifty years.
My dad briefly owned a shrimp boat called Captain Kidd when I was just a baby. Can’t describe the influence Jimmy had on our lives. 🙌🏽
Well Captain Kidd was actually William Kidd, who was a privateer. This song is likely in part a play on that.
Delaney,
I very much appreciate you preserving this time with Jimmy for us, I think this is his most touching song. Makes me tear up since I first hear him sing it.
I grieve for your loss.
Jimmy Buffett is the soul of gulf and western, we grew up hearing his stories in song, so well done.
We were all blessed to have Jimmy, I pray he knew Jesus
Jimmy’s memory always impresses me the most.
My Mom is in bad shape and I drove 6 hours to Ohio to get to her today - “hey siri, play Jimmy Buffett” - it felt good to hear that lovely voice singing all of those stories - I heard Captain and the Kid for the 1st time today - now at Mom’s house settling down for the night before Hospital testing & specialist tomorrow - this video pops up on youtube - I can see across the room to a picture on the wall of my Grandpa, also a man that I am very proud to have learned so much from and still love so deeply - listening to Jimmy Buffet my whole adult life, I’ve always been attracted to how genuine he came across as being with a true gift of having such a wide range of beautiful songs to share with all of us - maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised to have enjoyed his Joe Merchant book - that was so very well written - if I ever met him, which I unfortunately never did, I would simply say “thank you” it is impossible to convey the positivity that his gift brought to my life
"... This video pops up on RUclips." Big Brother is listening.
Your dad was special. I think you know it, and I just want to say thank you for sharing him with all of us. Each of us can learn something from his lyrics.
And now Jimmy's back with his Grandpa..... for evermore. RIP Captain & *his* kid...
Probably my favorite Buffett song of all-time. What could be better than sharing the love of the ocean and boating between father/grandfather and son. This song always makes me cry.
Amen. Me, too.😢
same here, raised by my Grand parents, on the Chesapeake Bay.
RIP to a great legend. You will be missed by all. 😢
These are awesome, Delaney. Thank you. We will always and forever love your Dad. He will be sorely missed.
September 1 2023
Rest in Peace Jimmy
You’ll never be forgotten.
So glad to see this today. Jimmy took us all to so many places.
I've seen him live around 30 times and he's never played this live at any of those shows. I fell in love with this song way back in the day when I bought "You Had To Be There" and a live version of this was included. This song was even instrumental as an inspiration in writing a song about my grandfather back in the mid 80's.
One of my favorite songs 🎵 ❤
We're a fishing business family, fathers to sons to grandsons. This song hits home ❤
Jimmy was such a dude. What a life he lived. Makes me sad he’s gone.
As I try to except this, I have to say Thanks for over 40 years of Love and Laughter
This is quintessential Jimmy Buffett, the Jimmy Buffett music that compelled a kid from Kentucky to move to the ocean some 30+ years ago. Godspeed Jimmy. Sail in peace.
Beautiful! One of his best songs!
This has always been one of my favorites. I’ve never seen him play it before.
420 Likes 🤣. Should be 420 million! 420 so fitting. Perfect. Thank you for the videos. Love this song. 🌎☮️♥️🎩
My son and me love Jimmy Buffett and all of his amazing music . This is my favorite Jimmy Buffett Song out of them all ! He will truly be missed RIP . 😞
Dang you Delaney, yesterday, for the 1st time I spent most of my afternoon watching all your videos together and through some laughter and tears I realized not only have I grown older but not up with your dad's music, but he's also given me 2 of my fondest memories. So, with peace and love, I thank you Delaney for reminding me of....
I never knew this channel existed? I wished, I would had found this several years ago?
Thank you Jimmy. God speed.
. I STILL REMEMBER THROWING QUARTERS ON STAGE FOR JIMMY BUFFETT BACK IN THE 1970 DAYS
Oh Jimmy B., the hole you've left in the world won't get filled up ANYTIME soon. We already miss you so much.
One of my absolute favorites. Reminds me of cruising around the hrbor with my old man. You're an absolute legend, Mr. Jimmy! You will be sorely missed but your music and memories you gve all fans with live forever!
Thanks Jimmy , sure going to miss you...😢😊
One of my all time faves. My mind always goes to my own grandpa, sitting on his knees and hearing his stories. He was a brick mason but had been many things as a younger man. What a beautiful song.
Thank you Jimmy for doing what you did for so many years.
I remember precisely where I was the moment I heard Elvis died. The same with John Lennon and George Harrison. And the same with every artist who has made an impact on my life and gone on. But Jimmy Buffett's passing last Friday has hit the hardest. Because he was so ingrained into the Keys and Key West, I think most people, like me, from around here thought he'd live forever. Because he spoke for the many crusty pirates with aging knees that moseyed up to any dive bar with a story to tell anyone who'd listen, Jimmy was both our spokesperson and our biggest cheerleader. Jimmy may have been all over the world, but he was our own-simply because he was one of us.
Musician, poet, sailor, vagabond, waterman, husband, father, friend...Jimmy was all of these to those who knew him and those he never met. But one didn't have to know him personally to hear about how his infectious smile, the joy he exuded everywhere, the extraordinary kindness and giving he always demonstrated, and so many other qualities to understand how unique he really was. Every song had a story because they meant something worthy enough to write down and share. It's because of this that we could feel as if we knew him up close and personal, with the right amount of vulnerability and sincerity to draw you in and keep you close. In a generation with few, if any, heroes left, he was our very own Mark Twain.
To be honest, I'm writing this as a means to mourn someone I never met personally but meant so much-to me throughout my life and even more so now as I get older and reflect back on regrets and my own mortality. I believe I'm speaking for many people who might be feeling the same way and thinking the party might be a little less fun or even coming to a close now that Jimmy's sailed on. But to give in and signal last call would be premature and a dishonor his work and legacy. If there was anything Jimmy Buffett taught us in his 76 years, it was this: live life to the fullest each day and take a moment to stop every now and then to soak in the beauty in the details or you just might miss them. I'm going to have to wipe the tears and breathe in, allowing the grief to go out with the wake. His music is everywhere now and although I get choked up, I'm listening to the words a little more intensely in order to hear the message.
Despite the short distance, I haven't been to Key West in a few years. In the wake of the loss, I'm afraid that Jimmy's ghost will become more commercialized now than ever before. As if the Buffett merchandising machine wasn't enough, I hope he doesn't become a Bob Marley although I fear it may be inevitable. But that's just me. I'm more introspective and I'll let Jimmy's music guide me through my grief and healing. After all, his was the soundtrack of my adult life and when better to play it. His music, and our combined love of the ocean. Geography, like money, sure can't buy happiness but it makes one hell of a difference and being near the water is my way to stay connected. THer's something about a sunrise or sunset near the ocean to keep you grounded and hopeful. I think I'll bring my rumrunner concoction and hope to catch a glimpse of him sailing on the horizon. It might take two or three but I'm not giving up.
So here's to you, Bubba. Thanks for the all the joy, the music and memories and the ones yet to come. I'll sorry you had to go. But feel free to start a tab, and I'll get the next round when we I get there.
@rogerreguera4133 : wow, perfectly said. You pretty much captured everything that I could have said from the heart when I heard on Labor Day Weekend last yr that Bubba JB had passed on. We must be about the same age, because yes, Jimmy has been part of my entire adult life. I first saw him perform in a small venue in Nashville (I grew up near Nashville) just before “Come Monday” had become a hit. And that was it for me. I never became a parrot-head, though. That seemed a bit too commercial & almost cult-like? 😬 (pls, folks don’t slam me for saying this. I know Jimmy loved you). Anyway, I did actually get to meet Jimmy Buffett along with a couple members of the Coral Reefer Band back in 1977. It was after a concert in a college town, my UVa roommate & I dropped by 1 of our fave bars in Charlottesville after the show…we walked in & could see Jimmy & some of the band sitting in the last booth…having a couple drinks. People in C’ville, fortunately, didn’t/still don’t make a fuss over famous people. When my very tall, blonde roomie & I stepped up to the bar, we heard a couple voices behind us say “hey ladies, why don’t you join us?” We turned & saw it was a couple of the coral reefer guys sitting in the booth with Jimmy…all of them with big happy grins on their faces. Roomie & I both looked at each other, then I said “Thanks, guys, but we’re good”. We paid for our drinks (neither of us liked having guys buy us drinks), then turned toward their booth, leaning back against the bar. And we just had a nice convo with the guys. Lots of laughter. I think Jimmy was tickled when he heard my Middle TN accent. ❤
Jimmy Buffet is a must when sailing. My daughter knew every word of Tin Cup for a Chalice at age 4. This song is so sad, but always one of my favorites.
Songwriters like Jimmy just blow my mind. Such creativity…
One of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs. I have different categories for his songs, the tropical party tunes, the love songs, the Jimmy Adventure songs and then the Ones that just hit your heart and squeeze tears out of your eyes. The Capt’n and The Kid gets me every time. As a lyracist myself it’s songs like this that i just say “simply brilliant”. Jimmy’s versatility is truly amazing. I am saddened terribly to know there will be no more music coming from Jimmy Buffett and now his hand is on “the starboard rail, waving back at us”. RIP Mr Buffett 🙏 and Thank You!
God Bless the Buffett family at this difficult time 🙏
I knew some of what he wrote about came from his life and experiences, but until this series, I never knew just how much. What a life! And thank you, Buffetts.
I’m so loving these “interviews”and mini concerts. I saw him in Ft Lauderdale sometime in the late 80’s and he was by himself with a couch and refrigerator. He played acoustic guitar and did a lot of the oldies and goodies.
He was a gifted story teller, songwriter and musician. Still can’t get it my head that he’s left us. RIP Jimmy.
I love love love this song. It always brought a tear to my eye and now even more so. Thank you Delaney for sharing your dad with us and these precious family memories. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family. Your dad was a treasure. ❤❤
Such a great song,as he had a special close relationship with his grandfather, I had close relationship with both my grandfathers into my 20s and 30s. Love it. My doberman is registered as Captain and the kid, just because this song is so special.
So wonderful. I hope the Captain has, by now, received a big hug from the Kid!!
❤️
You can see in these videos that Jimmy was sick. His right temple looks to have something on it. I'm so thankful to him and Savannah (my niece's name also) for documenting these intimate times. He was such a humble, peaceable, and loving man. We all could learn from his example, regardless of politics, he made people happy. Lost my own Dad last month. He was 74 and a Vietnam Vet. Jimmy's death is like the second barrel from a double-barreled shotgun.
One of the first of Jimmy's songs I learned to play on the guitar. Always have loved this song because of the emotional ties to it.
😢❤ what soul we got to see! So many happy times because of him and the gift he shared with us. Thanks Jimmy
I love strong willed daughters❤️ kudos to the strong Willed parents who raised and supported her❤️
One of my favorites. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you Delaney for recording these moments with your dad to share with all of us! 💜
The songs that you don't know by heart, I know by heart. That is how big a fan i am. This song brings a tear to my eye. Thank you.
If he only knew that So many of us know by ❤️
I've seen Jimmy more than 20 times. Can't remember him not playing this.
Delayney. Geesh. Take it easy. We love you Jimmy. To jimmy’s family, hope you find peace in the coming weeks and months.
He had that untapped magical persona. It’s crazy …..I always thought he was immortal and will always be around ….This was definitely a hard one to accept as a fan. I enjoy these videos,as the old saying goes …We don’t realize what we had until it’s gone …….Going to miss you Mr.Buffett , But we still have your music and memories…….
❤❤❤❤❤❤love this . I think I heard it played one time. Thank you for putting additional songs of your dads out here for us. You are so lucky to have him fir your been there for your dad and thank your family fir sharing him with us. TNJaniceRN
These interviews and performances are a treasure, thank you 🙏
Ever since my grandpa passed away a few years ago, this song has really resonated with me, and grew to be a favorite for me. When Jimmy said that he wrote this when HIS grandfather passed, it made me tear up immediately because it made my connection to this song feel that much stronger. Thank you Jimmy❤
RIP Jimmy, we love you always❤️
Love it! ❤. Rest in paradise, Jimmy. You shaped my life.
Love this song and the meaning behind it
I've always loved this song. RIP JB.
This song hits SO much harder than it used to now.. Bless you Delaney for recording all of this
Miss you JB! I have so many great memories seeing you in Raleigh, NC! This song broke my heart!
Sail on Captain! Thanks for sharing your life and philosophies. You always reminded me to follow the North Star and stick to my dreams!
Hero’s are remembered, but legends never die- Drake White, RIP JB
Sounded great Jimmy, great chords and guitar work,so pretty. I'd take this song over 100 % of today's stuff. What a story of your past,thanks
My late father always wanted too see jimmy live. This was one of are favorite songs. ❤ miss him and jimmy. ❤
I am a 2nd generation Parrothead and I have whole heartedly embraced the lifestyle..from Key West to New Orleans and spent a lot of nights at the Pensacola Beach Resort. I was lucky enough to meet JB through Denise M the morning my father and I took Savannah and Denise to breakfast at The Riverbend restaurant and walked around the French Market before returning them to their hotel. I consider "A Salty Piece of Land" my bible! Now that my father has passed I have a picture of him (my dad) on a sailboat waving back at me with the words of this song in the mat. Thank you JB and to all others never miss the chance.....
Thank god for Delaney and her mission to produce these videos. Absolute treasures.
Wonderful.
Thank you Sir 👍
First time hearing this song. Beautiful. He will live on forever through his music.
Thank you for taking the care and sharing ❤️ this RIPTo a great
Gorgeous song.💙❤️…so touching🥺
Yes it's...This is my favorite song, How long have you been his fan ?
I’m honored to have seen him play locally in the Mobile/Fairhope area before he became ultra successful!
Keep these going Delaney they are great
One my favorites Thank you
My real dad left when I was 3, my step dad was an a$$ on the good days. A family friend took me under his wing when I was 13. He taught me good values, taught me the trades, painting,carpentry, all the building skills,would tell me stories of his time in the Marines, so I joined, spent 21 yrs, raised 4 kids, have 5 grand kids. Taught my kids the same things he taught me.
He passed away a few years ago. Everytime I hear this song I am reminded of my friend whom I consider to be my dad.. beautiful song..🙂
I love it ❤
Sometimes, in our lives, we do things, never knowing the true , . Delaney, now that your dads are gone, you will have these interviews and peeks into his life, most of which you weren't privy to. that would have been lost .. May God. Give you an out pouring of grace to cover you and your family in the days to come. God please bless the Buffet family
Thank you for this song. It always takes me back to spending time with my dad, and the love for the water he shared with me. Now I share that same love with my son.
While it’s a shame we all lost so much valid time to this medical sham, it produced these wonderful videos for us all to enjoy with the extra value of the verbal descriptions we usually never get to hear. These are great. We miss you Jimmy.
God I miss that man... I only ever saw one concert, but his music spoke to me so much. Thank you Delaney and Savannah for sharing this side of him.
Salt water definitely runs in your veins Jimmy! Me too.
Great song! I would say one of my favorites but there are not many songs that are not my favorites! Love this series!
Small story: I sailed with a friend from Chile I met in Mexico & I partnered with him on luxury catamarans that he sails/charters now in the Bahamas. I played and sang Buffett songs so I just assumed as a sailor he would know Buffett’s work. Being Hispanic he had never heard of him which i stored in memory. Later his Father had recently passed of cancer which I helped him through and we were sailing with his teenage daughter. So with the knowledge he didn’t know JB I told him I had a special song I made for him (don’t shoot me) & changed a little of the lyrics to match his story a little better. When I finished the entire boat of 2 Chileans, 1 Mexican, one German and me the only American was in tears. There’s nothing better than finishing a day of sailing tied down behind an island with a dinner, wine, and a couple of guitars playing different type music. Jimmy Buffett inspired this night as I clearly don’t have that talent. Thanks JB
I'm so happy I found this channel - so many songs that I love!!!!
I was a huge Jimmy Buffet fan starting back in the mid seventies. Saw him in concert many many times. I moved to the islands in the early eighties and Jimmys music kept my spirits high the whole time. Through the years I lost track of his music sad to say. Since learning of Jimmy’s death, I can’t stop listening and watching all the videos and crying. I guess we never really know when the last time will be for someone to go home. I am looking forward to the day when I go home and hope I am able to meet Jimmy and tell him how much his music meant to me.😢❤
What a fortunate opportunity you siezed upon to record this anthology. Thank you so much! ⛵️
