Ok so I had on the show Crossroads tonight and the show was the Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett. When a first heard The Zac Brown Band and the song “Toes” I thought it was a Buffett song! Anyway watching the show tonight and the two of them glide in and out of each others songs got me thinking about Jimmy Buffett and I started thinking about when I stopped listening to Buffett’s music. Looking through the old tapes I see that I stopped somewhere around 1996 and the album Banana Wind. Now I don’t have all his albums only around nine! But listening tonight to Zac and Jimmy sign “A Pirate Looks At Forty” and “Son of Sailor” (an 
album I won calling into the radio station in Gainesville Georgia and answered some question I think the answer was Spiro Agnew) it took me back and reminded me home much I liked Buffett’s music back in the day. There was a record store in Athens that would write things on the album covers and on Buffett’s album Living and Dying in 3/4 time they wrote “Billy Joel is in the back of this boat” guess they were wrong about Joel’s career, huh!The album A1A is high on my list of all time favorite albums, particularly side two (at least of the tape) with the songs “Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season”, Tin Cup Chalice” , “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and “Nautical Wheelers” all being favorite all time songs!
Listening now to the album Floridays and another favorite song “When the Coast is Clear” ah, here’s some others from Barometer Soup “Jimmy Dreams”, “The Night I Painted the Sky”, and “Mexico”. Guess I liked this album, too! Maybe I’ll listen to “Song You Know By Heart” tomorrow and maybe to some music by Buffett’s sidekick Mac McAnally. I have a couple of his albums but haven’t listened to any of his recent stuff!
Here’s a video concert last month in Alabama and “When the Coast is Clear”
