    Slipped into a bar when I was 15(1975) and was immediately entranced by these guys on wooden stools, picking guitars, having a ball and I never looked back. Jimmy and Jerry Jeff were, from then on, my constant companions...8 track, cassette, vinyl, CD and 19 JB shows, 4 JJW over the years, I am a blessed man. Thank you Gentlemen, GOD Bless you both!

    Jimmy was an inspiration for everyone. Taught us how to live & lay back. Always a positive attitude. Became a billionaire with his amazing chain of Margaritaville restaurants & bars. Besides that he had a bunch of great top hits. He wrote about life & he wrote a few books as well. And of course many souvenirs were sold from Tshirts to cups to shot glasses & many items. Imagine now what will sell. He was a humble guy & so.down to earth. As days go by I'm watching his videos & his interviews. I'm learning more & more about him. Rest in paradise as they say. Margaritaville has to be my favorite. My.friend always sang it at karaoke & will not forget those days. I'm glad I learnt about Jimmy. And we have Margaritaville right here in town with a ferris wheel & amusement park recently built. The lights are amazing & can be seen from far. I will continue to listen constantly. His music lives forever.

    I've been a Parrot Head since before there were Parrot Heads; Memorial Day, 1973, to be exact. I've been a JJW fan since the early 80s. This is an amazing show with JB, JJW and Fingers. I've seen Jimmy numerous times, but JJW only once. Daytona Bike Week, 1990, until I moved to Texas. These men are the epitome of "musical greatness".

    Rest easy Jerry, Jimmy, and now Fingers... I discovered Jerry way back when disco was getting popular, and all my friends and I revolted and searched for other local live music in the Youngstown Ohio area... we steered toward the "redneck" and blues music... I decided to learn to play harmonica, a long with a friend of mine... we became great friends with other local harp players... and we were on our way to loving bluegrass, country, blues, folk, and harmonica trios, like the Harmonicats... we joined SPAH in 1978, and most of us are still here, and living with all the music that we love ! Of course we all loved Jimmy Buffett since Fingers was such a great part of his music. Too bad Jimmy didn't treat his musicians better... Fingers deserved better !

    Wow what a tribute to these great musicians, songwriters, performers & entertainers.. Just as @TexasRuby51 was a Parrot Head before they became known as fans I too became a lifelong admirer and fan in Key West. I was one of maybe 500-600 fans who saw JB introduce his Parrot Head band for the very first time at Mallory Square in Dec of 1975 what a show! It was VERY COLD but they jammed for at least 2 hours. JB and "Mr. Bojangles" leave a legacy that will live on forever. I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize the talent and passion that Fingers Taylor played with as a member of the Coral Reefer Band. Also a huge show of gratitude to JB and the CR Band for posting & playing all those concerts during the Pandemic--don't know how I would've made it through that without them! Thank you JLHockey27 for sharing this extraordinary session.
