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.
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
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!!
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!
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
Jimmy was lucky to have a friend in Mac, and Mac was lucky to have a friend in Jimmy❤
So hard to loose Jimmy, well, Mac, you need to keep sharing the love of all us parrot heads these years with your music!

Jimmy made us all feel like family! It still tears me up when i hear his songs..
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.
What a wonderful tribute to your long time friend.

I love this man so much!!!! I can see why they love each other. ❤
Thanks, Max. Well see you in Atlanta in April.
Jimmy was a great singer and if you were close to the stage on a good night, you knew it.
Love Mac & JB!!❤❤
Excellent, Mac. I opened for him Good Friday of '76 at the Key Wester. He meant a great deal to me.
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.
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.
