    I got drafted in 71, so I figured the Navy was a better deal than Nam. Long story short,, I spent April -August summer of 73 in Key West going to school. At the corner of the street from the Navy base to Duval there was this dude raising hell, cussing like a sailor, but when he played his acoustic he was damn good. I had never heard of Jimmy,, Damn what a memory, and if I hadn't gotten drafted, it would never have happened.

    Yes the original store is where we bought our first JB Tee shirts. On our honeymoon trip in 1986. Still got them. Little tight. Went back in 2021 to revisit out original trip. Not the same town but great when you have more means than the first trip. Still love this town.

    I was hooked from the first time I head "Come Monday". That fall of 74 I think, he played a free concert, paid for by EKU, just him and fingers Taylor. The next time he played there a year or two later, I caught him getting on the tour bus and got him to sign my A1A album, which I still have.

    Even though Jimmy has weighed anchor and sailed off to that one particular harbor - he is still so with us, every time we smile. I played a gig last Friday that was about 80 percent Jimmy and 20 percent my songs (which are mostly inspired by Jimmy, particularly my songs like "The Lessons that we EARN" (not learn, earn! Ha)" When I sing Jimmy's songs, I can't pronounce my "ah's and gees, when I'm speak'n southern ease" I can't help it! I don't parrot Jimmy word for word or note for note - It just happens! And I'm originally from the motor city (Mid west, years and years ago) People asked me what part of the south I was from!! LoL - I ended my set with a love song from a different point of view (with audience participation) - Why don't we get drunk and ska-rooo? Well anyway, Jimmy is burned into my Caribbean soul, - I can barely control, like a tattoo - so thank you for this and God Bless. Sail on Jimmy⛵

Im going to give JB a "proper send off: when I return to Cancun / Yucatan area in Jan. , prob in Sisal or isla contoy . very hard to let go and continue the party since our Chairman of the Board has gone to the big Harbor in the sky . I had just got out of the Infantry , U.S. Army , Desert Storm cerca '92 or 93 and wanted to have a good time. went to Crystal Beach , TX w/ my buddy from highschool, after a booze fueled weekend. I dropped him off. I cleaned out my jeep and found 'JB ' s greatest hits cassette , had been soaked in beer and sand,lol. I played it ( couldnt believe it worked) and was hooked. songs about the gulf coast / Mexico / beaches , I was hooked. Uncle DEE 🤠

      Uncle Dee - first, thank you for your service, I too served around that same time but in the Marine Corps. Jimmy's Boats Beaches Bars and and Ballads along with Feeding Frenzy got me through some very rough times. Even though he is gone, he will never be forgotten. And this means keeping his music playing, living the life style, and telling these stories. I thought Jimmy's last words to his sister Laurie said it best: "Have Fun".

    Another Buffet story. I was in Dutch Harbor, Alaska in about 1991. Jimmy came flying into town unannounced. The word was he was doing research on a book he was writing. He gave a free one-man acoustic show at the Elbow Room in Unalaska. Last song of the night was A Pirate Looks at Forty. I was working. Didn't get to go but had friends that did. The book turned out to be Where's Joe Merchant?

      @allthestoriesicantell7595  2 года назад +2

      Thank you Drew! So here's the deal with that lyric, on the original album version - the liner notes have the lyric as "strike up a tune with the moon", however, in every live version I have ever heard on this he clearly, clearly says "strike up a tune AT The Moon". Considering the time the song was written (1979) and mentioning his "old haunts" I think he always wanted the reference to the Full Moon Saloon. Check out the live versions and let me know what you think. Thank you for watching and please subscribe as I have more JB Key West vlogs coming soon!

    David, I have a question for you. I was in Key West around 1981 bar hopping and came across Jimmy playing a solo benefit concert for a sail boat, the Western Union. I forgot the name of the bar but wondering if anyone else in your group happen to be there? It was an experience I never want to forget. He was by himself on a bar stool. It was the good old days because I remember we were drinking $1.00 Miller in the bottle. What I would give to relive that night!!

Jimmy had a few places that he would visit during those times - notably the Full Moon Saloon.

    Actually the "Original" original Margaritaville was located at 1421 Gulf Shores Pkwy, Gulf Shores, AL 36542 which is now a Walgreens. Jimmy talked about it during his concert on the beach in Gulf Shores following the oil spill in 2010. He licensed the name to his friend Dan Sweet to open the bar. Part of the agreement had Jimmy performing at the bar at least once per year for the first 3 years. It only lasted about a year but it was the very first one. Not many people know this little fact so no harm no foul. Enjoy your videos

      The FB page Classic Buffett is an excellent source of a lot of this old school information. Many people in that group were around back then, so if anyone would know it would be them.

    I might disagree with you that Key West made Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy was a C & W artist when he was in Nashville. If he hadn't made that trip south to Key West, he probably would have continued to expand his C & W music. You can't hold back a talented artist.

    Okay but, "women always win...?" Is that why women get paid less whenever possible? Even Jane says she never got a dime from publishing, even though she's credited as co-writer on a couple of Buffett songs - that's even according to Delaney's videos, which showed Jane credited on 2 songs on at least 1 album. And I love Jimmy, but even he admitted (fairly recently) that he'd been "a real control freak, but trying to get better about it." So no, maybe check in with your jokes about women "always winning." Peace out.
