Great interview. I've followed Mac McAnally since his music career began. He, like Jimmy, has a special musical talent that we've all been lucky to have shared.
Thank you Mac! You and the rest of the Reefers can keep the party going, but allowing some guest singers and musicians to join the Reefers would be awesome!
Many years ago I had the honor of meeting Mac, fingers, Michael Utley,and Peter Maher in Tampa the night before a show playing in a ybor city bar,it is a night I will never forget, what a group of awesome individuals especially Mac
Mac is a great musician and storyteller in his own right. I saw him perform recently and he was amazing. He even did a meet and greet after the show! So awesome 🤩🙌
Two great musicians and two huge hearts! I LOVE Bubbles Up, I get teary eyed every time I hear it and sing along. Thanks for the awesome concerts, went to many and thanks for the memories! Fins up!!
Got to see him live a few weeks ago. Such a wholesome human, and he has a way that keeps you hanging off of every word when he tells a story. Jimmy gave the world many awesome things. Sharing Mac with us might be the greatest.
More often than not great musical teams wind up as enemies. I think the secret of their success is that Mac and Jimmy were the exception, and were truly best friends even after many decades of working together. That friendship came through in their music and especially in their live performances. It was infectious and is what makes parrothead nation such a very special thing for all of us.
I love this! Very emotional for Mac and us but so absolutely beautiful!! I love hearing this story! Such amazing friends! And the music of Jimmy will carry on thanks to Mac and The Coral Reefers! But Mac’s music is absolutely an amazing! His voice is so beautiful and I love to watch his hands as he plays! I can’t wait to see him in Orlando!!!
What a great man. Went to Greensboro NC show this year and all I can say is WOW!!! Looking forward to next show in Bristol, TN. Cannot wait to see ads real soon for The Coral Reefer Band tour, got to keep it alive.....every day is a blessing. What a much better world it would be if more of us alive would be like these 2 wonderful people. Thanks be to God.
Just seeing the pain in Mac's eyes tells you how much of an incredible, great, awesome human being Mr. Buffett truly was. God speed, Mr. Buffett. Your legacy will continue.
Interacted with Mac & 'Mr. Utley' briefly in Key West 1998. They had Club Trini CDs with them. The bond all the Reefers had was obvious back then & they were gracious to 'let us in' a bit. Their respect & friendship with each other & Jimmy adds to our respect & love of all of them. They are helping us cope now. 🐬🌺🌴⛵️
What a beautiful gift to have . Mac is this amazing gift that keeps Jimmy's spirit going here along with his own beautiful spirit through the music 🎶 they created and performed. Thank you, Mac ❤
Great friend to a one of a kind American legend. Jimmy made his own way more than almost any other human on the earth. Mac has always been a great picker and writer if his own right. Thanks for all of the tunes!
Mac would have been a huge Star in his own right, and he is. Hes HUGE and here we see why. Theres something about a Mississippi accent that appeals. And the Humility, it goes a long way.
I've got tickets to See Mac with Jake Shimabukuro tomorrow night and am really looking forward to it. The place has a one drink minimum and I already know what mine will be.
I'm probably wrong, but I could have sworn that Mac McAnally was the opening act for a Jimmy Buffett concert I went to at Delta State University (Cleveland, MS) in 1978. I know he would have been young then, only 21 or so. Maybe it's the Mandela Effect, but I have a clear memory of that, even though I don't know for sure it actually happened.
MacMcAnally, what a guy! He is so talented and humble! The perfect guy to carry on what Jimmy started!
Mac's a great Mississippian & Buffett's best buddy! FINS, BUBBLES UP!!!❤
Jimmy made us all feel like family! It still tears me up when i hear his songs..
Jimmy was lucky to have a friend in Mac, and Mac was lucky to have a friend in Jimmy❤
What a wonderful tribute to your long time friend.
Thank you Mac. It's great to know that Jimmy had such a good friend in you.
Thank you. Yes, we need another lap or two and we're very grateful The Coral Reefer Band looks forward to providing it for us. See you in Texas soon!
Mac is the sort of guy you'd love to meet in person, shake his hand, have a drink and listen to stories. Such a humble, cool, talented guy.
Mac, you are a fabulous musician. I hope to see you perform soon. Take care ❤️
Two great men! Big hearted Mac….kind words and always the gentleman.
So hard to loose Jimmy, well, Mac, you need to keep sharing the love of all us parrot heads these years with your music!
50+ years of music and friendship. I cannot imagine the loss for Mac. It hit me hard and I didn't even know Jimmy personally. Bubbles Up, Jimmy!
Such a humble guy with every talent. Tk U Sir.
So moving to hear Mac really show his true love and appreciation. We love you Mac
Authenticity at its finest.
Well put!

Quality music with quality, truly poetic lyrics from quality people. I hope Mac and the Coral Reefers keep playing for us for a long time yet.
I love this man so much!!!! I can see why they love each other. ❤
Thanks, Max. Well see you in Atlanta in April.
Thank you Mac for being there for Jimmy thru out the years.

Mac! One of the GOATS!
Jimmy was a great singer and if you were close to the stage on a good night, you knew it.
I met Mac in KW at "The" recording studio. Great guy! Very regular, Same weekend I had bought Zac Brown a beer in KW at Hogs Breath
What a beautiful gift to have . Mac is this amazing gift that keeps Jimmy's spirit going here along with his own beautiful spirit through the music 🎶 they created and performed. Thank you, Mac ❤
Excellent, Mac. I opened for him Good Friday of '76 at the Key Wester. He meant a great deal to me.
Great friend to a one of a kind American legend. Jimmy made his own way more than almost any other human on the earth. Mac has always been a great picker and writer if his own right. Thanks for all of the tunes!
I HOPE MAC and The Reefers come to Omaha (THE ASTRO) to perform, LOVE To see them
If I may, thank you so much from the Low Country Parrothead Club!
I agree with the interviewer I love Life in the Flipside and it came at just the right time.
Mac would have been a huge Star in his own right, and he is. Hes HUGE and here we see why. Theres something about a Mississippi accent that appeals. And the Humility, it goes a long way.
Jimmy was so lucky to have you, Mac. Can't wait to see you this weekend on the Bolivar Peninsula!!
Love Mac & JB!!❤❤
Such good friends, still emotional for all!!❤
Thanks mac you espouse the coral reefer philosophy to a "T:" We love all you guys! Jimmy was the "front man" but you guys are
all part of it!
I've got tickets to See Mac with Jake Shimabukuro tomorrow night and am really looking forward to it. The place has a one drink minimum and I already know what mine will be.
We had a great time, Mac. Good show in Florence.
You’re really a Special human MAC !
So Sweet ❤
Good stuff. Very good stuff!
❤❤❤❤

He opened for Randy Newman in Baton Rouge about 79 . One of the musical highs of my life.
So real.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😘
I didn’t know Jimmy was friends with George Lucas
I think Mac and Mike Campbell need to hook up
Is this a Rolf Harris look alike contest?
