This was always my wife and my secret song. It is the ringtone on my phone for when she calls. Yeah... I know... TMI.

I can't believe he's gone. We went to see Jimmy in concert and looked all over town for tequila and all we could find was a small bottle of Cuervo Silver Well... We went ahead and bought it and snuck it in. He opened with the song Tequila and it was at that point I realized where all the tequila in town had gone. Almost everyone in the place held up a bottle and shouted TEQUILA when that part of the song came up.

RIP Jimmy. I will miss you.

Losing Jimmy was like losing an old friend. He became part of my lifestyle and was a life coach.

This one is much tougher for me than the other ones.

Rest in Paradise Jimmy.

And Thank you.

FINS UP!!!

Always felt this one was my personal anthem.

What a special spark this guy was in this world.

Lived his music.

Hopefully not too soon though - eh?

@SWAdude I meant that as both a compliment and a desire to have @nighttrain here with us as long as possible. He's one of my favorite members here.

I'm not saying you didn't get that but I want him around as long as possible.

Cheers

That song speaks TRUTH Brudda!


Jimmy's last boat told me that he and I were actually Bruddas. He had 2 different boat companies collaborate to make his... but he had to have the cat hull because they are the BEST. My boat is a cat too. His is bigger of course, but cat owners know the TRUTH too.

Here's a shot of his. He had this made for himself in just the last year or two...

Saw Jimmy as the opening act for the eagles during the Hotel California tour. At the Richmond Coliseum. He and his band tore the place up. I remember telling my friends nobody could follow that. But it was the Eagles in their prime they managed to pull it off. You will be missed Sir.

There's a Coral Reefers concert today happening Hawk's Cay Resort. They're having a Jimmy Buffet look-a-like contest during the show.

That resort is literally right next to Duck Key which is where we are right now. I plan on crashing the concert from our boat because the stage is set-up right next to the water.
