RIP Jimmy Buffett

RIP

Changes in Latitudes - Changes in Attitudes came out the year I graduated high school.  It remains one of my favorites from him.

He seemed to love what he did and it came through every time you saw him perform.  A one of a kind character and great performer...

I wonder if he found his lost shaker of salt.

I miss Jimmy already, he was so much more than just a man on a stage.  Possibly the warmest and largest personality out there.  His last live performance was in San Diego 5/6/23.  I've already made a playlist from his setlist and I titled it:  Jimmy's Sunset Playlist.  His final setlist is below.  I embellished his encore and added one final song as an homage "Sending the Old Man Home"

1. Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

2. Fins

3. Pencil Thin Mustache

4. Son of a Son of a Sailor

5. Boat Drinks

Otis Gibbs has a really good youtube video that just came out on Jimmy by one of his close musician friends from the old days. My best memory of him is Orange Bowl Miami around 1980 with Dave Mason....can’t remember who opened for who but what a great show. RIP Jimmy thanks for all the great timeless music.
