I'm 53 years old now. I saw him in concert when I was 22, in Indiana, at an amphitheater in cornfield country and he took us in the thousand plus crowd to the sea breezes and french wines and cheeses and Belizes and trade winds of a world far away from wherever adulthood would have us confined for the next 30 years.

and words.

I cried like a baby when I saw this video as this song has a particular place in my heart. After hearing how this song saved Jimmy’s life I would say in many ways although different, this song saved my life as well. Many years ago I was quite a different young man when I met this particular girl who was quite different from the rest. We had met a few months earlier but I was resistant to commit even though I knew she was special. I had a trip planned with my buddies to Key West to get away to cut loose a bit during spring break. Having lived in Ft Lauderdale in the 80’s I was introduced to Jimmy Buffet and became I guess you could say, a Parrot Head. Anyway fast forward to my Key West trip I began to realize that the special girl I had been seeing meant so much more to me then I wanted to admit. So much so my heart really began to miss her like no one ever before. Now up to this point we talked about not seeing each other exclusively but I realized that I not only wanted to spend the rest of my life with her but I didn’t want to ever leave her again. So one night while “Come Monday” was playing in the background I decided to call her and tell her my feelings. It was that night told her I would be back early Monday and asked her to “save Monday for me”. Fourteen months later we were married and it is still one of the happiest days of my life but it all started with that lonely night and Jimmy Buffet in the background singing “Come Monday”. Now after 30 years this song still has a special place in our hearts. So much so every time we hear it we say “save Monday for me” my wife with a smile and me with a tear in my eye.

Damn, he was good. Never heard much from him other than his hits, but "Distantly In Love" shows what a master songwriter he was. It should've been a hit. Thanks for the music, Jimmy & TYSVM Mr. Letterman for posting this.

You will be missed by many.

Jimmy buffet was truly my favorite and the best singer I even got my middle name after him may he rest in paradise sipping margaritas on beaches

How many guys ever came on a talk show and sat there solo, singing two songs in a row like that? No help from the band, just him with his guitar keeping the audience spellbound. Hope you found that lost shaker of salt.

After all these years, and a thousand listens, Come Monday can still get me a little choked up. Thank you Jimmy.

So ironic that he died heading into Labor Day weekend. Come Monday it will be alright Jimmy….
