#music, Pt. 3 Music For The Middle of The Week

(Photo The Independent)

We were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Buffet on 01 SEP 2023 in Sag Harbor, New York. The man who inspired us all to drink margaritas and to head for the Keys succumbed to skin cancer. He was always one of my favourite singer-songwriters. I had some of his records but I knew very little about him. I did love his songs, loved his stories and truly appreciated the way he portrayed all those ports of call, so far away and so exotic. And since he often wrote about boats and sailing and that was my cup of tea, I genuinely admired him. He wrote so many iconic hits, like «Cheeseburger in Paradise» (1978); «Come Monday» (1974);»Fins» (1979); «Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes» (1977); and «Son of a Son of a Sailor» (1978), among so many more. So, to wrap up this tribute I can’t do anything else but to bring you…

(«Margaritaville» from 1977, reached number one on the Adult Contemporary Chart in the US)

Cheers…

    I’ve been to his Margaritaville – too commercial.

      True, I went once as well, way back, I think it was in 1993…nothing to get hung about…

    I love Buffet. I went to one of his concerts and paid money for a good seat. My personal complaint was that there were so many people dancing in front of me, that I could not sit in the seat I paid for if I actually wanted to see (not just hear) the concert. I had to stand to see over their heads and bouncing bodies.

        Wasn’t interested. Wanted to sit in my expensive seat and enjoy the concert.

        You certainly had that right but, music makes people get carried away. It’s an unstoppable thing…

    I realize it was my problem not caused by anyone else. Jimmy is known to have that type of concert beginning with cocktails in the parking lot.

      No, of course it wasn’t you, but sometimes we’ve no choice but to sort of go with the flow…
