My Relationship with Jimmy Buffet

Jimmy Buffet is a hero of mine. He really is a philosopher. When I was working my way though college, I worked at a college pub for a while. I would get so tired of the rock and roll and country that when someone requested a Jimmy Buffet song, I sighed with relief. That was my introduction to him. 


When I met my husband, he introduced me to many more of his songs, songs that say so much more than songs like Margaritaville. I know he doesn't live in Key West anymore. I know he's worth millions, but I still really like his music. 


And I also like his books. No, they're not Hemingway or great literature (Sorry Jimmy), but they are a rollicking good read! 


I just created a page on http://keywestcantina.com that is a tribute to him. After all, even if he doesn't live in Key West, he is part of Key West.  Here's lookin' at ya, Jimmy!  





Love, Key Westie
