If you saw Jimmy in grade school hard telling the impression he made. But the dude turned a few songs into a lasting mult-hundreds of millions-dollar empire and really had fun doing it. Good story.

All I keep remembering is that David Allen Coe song about Jimmy Buffett. 😀

Good story though, Lee. 😉

Nice article Lee. I attended a lot of great concerts at The Memorial Auditorium which remain with me today. I am pleased you were able to have some fun with Jimmy. I played lead tambourine for Jimmy Hendrix! That is the closest I got to stardom. I envy you. Did Buffet put his shorts on the same as us? Happy Trails To You Lee

Great story! I didn't like all of Jimmy's music, but I liked a few of his songs -- and I liked the idea of him. Seemed like a great life.

Yeah, few people get to be exactly what they want to be and they give hope to the rest of us that maybe we can do the same.
