Sad Sad Jimmy Buffet passed away yesterday, September 1st.

You can't be a waterman/waterwoman and not love Jimmy's music. I hope you'll all join me in raising a margarita to his memory tonight.

I moved to Cedar Key FL. back in 96-97ish (little fuzzy as most things 90's are) and I was never much of a Jimmy Buffet fan until then. Rumor had it that he used to visit the island and I believe it. Even in 96, the island was pretty Wild! Think, the village from Popeye the movie with Robin Williams but with more bars.

When you're in the right spot and the mood hits though... Jimmy just does it right! RIP Jimmy!

Legend ... RIP

For those who haven't heard, he passed away from a long battle with Merkel Cell Carcinoma, a rare skin cancer that arises in sun-exposed skin, often at an advanced age.

Get checked for suspicious lesions and protect your skin out there!
