Jimmy Buffett

[Cal Weldon]

December 25, 1946 - September 1, 2023

I am in mourning today. I am disillusioned. He was immortal.

Rest In Peace Jimmy.

You were one hard working guy.

My best Orlando experience, visiting Jimmy’s restaraunt there.

Cheeseburgers and Margaritas are the theme of the day. Just pulled out and dusted off the Frozen Concoction Maker. Off to the store in a bit to gather all the necessary ingredients. I’m a little out of practice, but I’m sure it will come back rather quickly.

I‘m heading to Margaritaville today boys.

Gotta send the old man home in style.

Cal, feel free to close the other thread.
Celebrate his life in style - you’ve got all weekend.

Like us all, his body was mortal, but his soul will live on forever.

CNN just had a 10 minute segment on him. I laughed and cried at the same lime.

 

[planet10]

That is the same bit i woke up to today.

Our local, and very tropical, ex-pat hangout bar is doing $10 cheeseburger and Margarita special. Jimmy music all weekend.
R.I.P. Mr. Buffett.

 

[Cal Weldon]

In his honour.
259 of his songs on the iPad.
Margarita premixed and the shaver/blender
Proper attire for the day from his friends in Canada.

Later of course, the cheeseburgers.

I like mine with lettuce and tomatoes
Heinx 57 and french fried potatoes
I big Kosher picker and a cold draught beer
Good gawd almighty which way do I steer
For my Cheeseburger in Paradise

Cheeseburger in paradise
Medium rare with Muenster'd be nice
Heaven on earth with an onion slice
Mmm... just a cheeseburger in paradise

I typed thoughts 5 times and deleted them all because they lacked.

I hope you are playing when I pass.

[Cal Weldon]

TT, sharing your thoughts about Jimmy is never lacking.
Between the texts, emails, phone calls and neighbours, my day has not only been full, but fulfilling…
Feel free to share.

So I’m now two margaritas into my Jimmy tribute afternoon and I can’t believe how much better I sound while singing his songs. In fact my wife went into another room and closed the door because she said it was just too realistic for her.

 

[doorman]

You were the first person I thought of Cal, when I read the (sad) news.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Thank you Don. I think of you everytime I listen to Jimmy. What a co-inky-dink.

 

[Cal Weldon]

So dinner went really well. Not only did the Mrs. help me with the blender ingredients (very rare) but she was busy a good part of the day making moon cakes.
Hers are the best.
The Mr and Mrs burgers were a big hit too.

Thanks for the inspiration Jimmy, too bad you couldn't join us but you were here in spirit for sure.
Your music is still going strong 12 hours into it. If calculations serve me correct, it’ll be around 2 or 3 am by the time you’re done your last set.

rip Jimmy ...

 

[chrisb]

Cal, Parrotheads worldwide no doubt approve of, and are joining in your celebrations.

Virtually unknown in the UK, but still sad that another of The Big Names has left us...
