- How did you spend your quarantine? Jimmy Buffett asked the fans to tell him which songs, not in his usual repertoire, would they like to hear? Within minutes, over 10,000 tracks were requested. Some songs he had to re-learn as it's been so long since he played them! Directed by Jimmy's daughter, Delaney Buffett, the docuseries is an inside look of the stories and inspirations of the songs.
The series has become a fan favorite which of course evolved into recording his favorites with producer/bandmate Mac McAnally and Coral Reefers Peter Mayer and Eric Darken. Available at: smarturl.it/SYDKBH

Rest in peace Jimmy
You’ll never be forgotten
Never.
Thank you Delaney for sharing a little piece of your father with us all. We wish you all peace and love during this difficult time, but know that your Dad inspired so many people to look at their lives differently and learn to stop and appreciate life. We were lucky to have known him a little through his music and shows. You have been blessed to be his daughter. I cannot imagine a greater gift. Cherish your memories and thank you for sharing your time with him. He changed the world for the better. That is a life well lived …
Well said.
I met my husband in November 1980. We got in my 1977 Camaro and 8-track of Living and Dying in 3/4 Time and "The Wino and I Know" started playing and John knew all the words…that sealed my love for him. Plus he could sing & pick. He told me if we had children, he wanted a daughter! ❤️
I could listen to them talk about every song Jimmy wrote. 🤘✌️
This interview is pure gold. RIP to an absolute legend. Legend is wholly inadequate.
We discovered Jimmy Buffett in Atlanta in 1975 when he still sang songs like *The Wino and I Know.* It was in a place with the ostentatious name of *The Great Southeast Music Hall* located in the back corner of Broadview Plaza, an L-shaped strip shopping center on Piedmont Road in north Atlanta.
Except for great musicians like Jimmy performing there, it really wasn’t all that great. You sat on the floor on bench-like cushioned seats fastened to the floor like church pews with the legs sawed off.
They sold pitchers of beer outside the auditorium in the foyer and ticket area. We walked in a little late but it wasn’t very crowded. We sat almost front row, just right of center. We had gotten there quite by accident.
We had driven into Atlanta from our Cobb County suburb apartment to see a movie at the theater next door, but had arrived too late and the movie we drove in to see that evening had already begun. We were standing around outside trying to figure out what else to do on a Friday night in Atlanta and I walked over and was studying the black and white publicity photograph behind the “Now Playing” glass by the entrance to *The Great Southeast Music Hall* next door.
A sign under the photo read *Jimmy Buffett* and my wife asked me if I had heard of him. I said, “I think so, but I’m not sure.” I thought about it for a minute and with the clock ticking and an impatient wife looking at me to decide and no better options, I said, “Oh why not, let’s give it a try” and we walked in.
The concert was great. After the show I walked over to a record store located next door and bought his then current album, his third from a major label and the one I still consider his best to this day, *A-1-A* Fate was really smiling on me that night.
Soon afterwards I bought his first album, then his second, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. (I think he averaged about one album each year for a number of years until his compilation / greatest hits albums started appearing.)
The next time Jimmy was in Atlanta we took our best friends. We continued to do that and each time we returned the crowds were bigger than the time before. Then they started making you buy your tickets in advance.
The last time we saw Jimmy at *The Great Southeast Music Hall* they had two shows each evening and the waiting line to get in wrapped around outside and down the sidewalk in front of the neighboring stores.
While standing in the line waiting to get in I told our friends that would be the last time we saw Jimmy perform there and it was. After that the Atlanta venues got bigger and bigger. We saw him in places like the *Atlanta Civic Center* (great acoustics) and *The Omni,* our basketball arena (terrible acoustics!) and they were all packed.
He might not have been heard much on the radio, but as far as his fans were concerned, he had arrived. We bought his albums and attended his concerts whenever he was in town.
In 1976, the year after Jimmy’s epic *A-1-A* album, I bought a new 2-seater Datsun 280-Z sports car (around $7,500) and couldn’t wait to drive it down to *Key West* to check out the scene of its inspiration for myself.
Although technically just one state away, the drive from Atlanta to Key West is the same distance as Atlanta to New York City.
On August 8-10, 1978, Buffett recorded his first live album, *You Had to Be There* (we were!) in Atlanta at our grand old venue called the *Fox Theatre* where *Gone With the Wind* had premiered just over four decades earlier in 1939. (No, we weren’t there for that! 😎)
At the Fox we had terrific seats, center balcony, looking down on the stage. What an epic evening that was!
Great Jimmy Buffet memories from what we thought were great years to be living in Atlanta as young people.🧨
Jimmy Buffett was the man everyone aspired to be, and now he’s Incommunicado, taking the right way home.
There can be no substitute for a man who loves doing what he was born to do.
What a life. What a treasure. What a loss. The world is definitely less bright without his presence. Enjoy the cheeseburgers, dear JB. 😇
Rest in Peace Jimmy. You've touched so many lives.
I listened to nothing else but Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads for three years. Saved my life.
After I was diagnosed with cancer 12 years ago, I heard this song, now I try to live my Life like a song! Thank you Jimmy for your inspiration!!RIP
He Went to Paris and The Wino and I Know are my two favorite songs of all time-I wrote my college entrance essay about this song back in 1996. And after hearing of Jimmy’s passing this morning and listening to some ballads, rewatching this put a smile back on my face. Thank you for showing us how to live our lives like a song. Gonna have a cheeseburger, margarita, and some beignets tonight.
Living and Dying in 3/4 Time is his best album in my opinion. This song is amazing along with Brahma Fear, Livingstons gone to Texas, and Ringling Ringling.
Imagine all those heartaches and tears, from 27 years of beer
Agree, absolutely awesome record!!
It’s his last country play. After that they shifted more toward island songs
Agreed. It’s my favorite too.
My first Jimmy Buffet album, and a greatly underrated one at that. Still my favorite; I love all the songs on it, and know them by heart!
During the pandemic, it was like... "oh, this is life now..."
Now it's like, wow ,THANK YOU JMMY for blessing us with this content!!!
He lived with happiness and was able to convey happiness to millions.
September 1st. Is truly The Day The Music Died.
A legend never dies.
A lasting Honor... from Daughter to Father.
What a great musical talent. If your from the gulf coast like me, it is your life’s sound track.
Me also. Lived in Pascagoula-Moss Point from '55 to '67. Slower pace of life full of memories. Picnicking at the Beach Blvd park, swimming in the Gulf, sometimes cruising Market Street, or stopping for a milk shake at the drive in at the north end of said street. Memories of good times and good friends.
I never realized it when they started these but it would have been around the time of the diagnosis. What a fantastic goodbye gift we were given. The intimate 1 on 1 feel with the background stories of the songs. He was saying goodbye.
Much gratitude to Delaney and Jimmy for documenting the personal stories behind the songs.
❤
My heart is broken and i send my deepest sympathies to his family and his bandmates 💔
Jimmy you are the soundtrack of my life - living my life with your songs
Your comment brought me tears, it hit me hard. Having lived on the gulf coat for 20 years...you couldnt be more right
@@scottacousticpgh same ,just to day I cried visiting Galveston for a sporting event
I'm sure I've miss a lot- to me 70s-80s JB is unmatched. I have every ALBUM from A White Sport Coat thru Somewhere over China. Never bought one after Somewhere. And those albums have sustained me for 50 years. I literally listen to Come Monday- every single day at least once. West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown is seldom metioned a a great JB song. Go back and listen.
The World is a little sadder this weekend
But I am so glad I got to see JB many many times
RIP
You made a lot of folks smile
Big time. Love You Always
Fins Up MF’s!

It's a wild occupation strange situation living my life like a song. Thank you so much for this video. After hearing the terrible news this morning about Jimmy I was taking immediately back to this song and this video I watched several months ago. I am so glad I re watched It again. It brought the biggest smile to my face. Thought's and Much Love to all those close to Jimmy and his fans. RIP
Imagine the life JB has had. All the people and places he saw. I wish we could all be so lucky. Thank u Delaney for doing these w your dad!
Rest in Peace pirate. Thanks.
Rest In Peace Jimmy. Thanks for the songs!!! You were the best.
Dear Delaney…thank you for making these videos with your dad. They are a treasure. 😃🙏❤
Still can’t believe he’s gone, glad for the memories and songs he left us with. RIP JB 💔
Thats a good'n. I'm learning Floridays Jimmy. Lookin for better days.
"...like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion." That's a great line.
so good
Yes! Those words got me too! You can just see it in your mind… love his music. RIP Jimmy 🌴
Every time I hear him singin' and strummin', I feel that same joy in the memories they always conjure. In many ways, Jimmy was as great a songsmith as Dylan, maybe better. Even at the end of video, he started to say "...brings uhh... CONJURES up memories." Such a natural talent, finely honed over a lifetime to always find a more beautifu way to impart magic with every phrase and utterance.
Jimmy is totally unrecognized for lines like that. Pearls of greatness that no one ever really called out.
Best. Line. Ever.
Saw you with Bonnie Raitt in the mid 70s at Red Rocks. Even though it was raining, the two of you played and sang anyway. One of the best shows of my life. Thanks for the memories ❤️
This is so cool!! I never lived in Key West, but was a proud Monroe County resident for many years.
One of the songs I love I Loveed pretty much all of His songs I was a merchant Sailor working all over the world Jimmy and all favorite music went with me
Thank you Delaney, I loved your Dad eve though I never met him. Used to love Delaney talks to statues. My daughter was a toddler at that time, running around the pool. Now hearing your voice, sounds like her voice. I know how much you loved your Dad, I see that love in my daughter’s eyes!
Following him since 74, stories are now so entertaining
Of all of his songs this has always been my favorite. The lyrics are very philosophical and illustrate a great deal about my life. I am a retired principal who put in a total of 42 years as an educator. “Trying to get by, being quiet and shy, in a world full of pushing and shoving.” Despite the demeanor I showed , that describes me as who I really am.
Amazing person, and will truly be missed ❤
His love for life was wonderful, and touched all he met.
Thank you for sharing these tapings with us patriot heads 🦜🦜
I love these videos by Delaney! Thank you for doing this!
One of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs! Enjoyed the backstory of the song
Sent me off to college to gain a little knowledge, but all I wanna do is learn how to score... College roommate introduced me to Mr. J. Buffet's music in 77 in Hattiesburg MS. Met my current wife who is a Parrot Head in 98 (she's got a parrot tattoo to prove it). My how we all have gotten fine over the years that are getting too many to count. This is my favorite too. They don't write like Jimmy no more.
RIP Jimmy. You will be missed.
he lives forever in these videos
One of my favorite favorite songs. Had my wife make me a sticker for my Jeep with “the whino and I know” and people asked me about it all the time.
This is one of my favorite songs
Me too!!
I went to 😅the keys 1973 the first time and went down there every year and in 1982 I lived in key largo &loved Jimmy Buffet then ❤❤❤
Priceless stuff. Hard to believe Jimmy is gone watching theses vids😩
I make it a point to go online and buy some coffee from the Cafe Du Monde and brew it up in my office as a Friday treat. Also made it a point to educate the folks in my office about this song, and the man himself. RIP, Jimmy. We love you and your music will live forever.
Such a great old song. Love Jimmy and love New Orleans.
Thank you Delaney, this was an amazing gift for you to give to the world 💜
First off , thank you JB for everything. I am blessed to cross paths on this big old crazy ball.
This man just got it. His soul was in every song he song and Tin Cup might be his peak.

Absolutely love the format of these recordings. I have been listening to these songs via concerts, records, cassettes and CDs since the very early 70s. It’s like spending time with old friends. Thanks for stories and memories!!
These are songs I do know by heart..but these are the best versions.
Always love to hear those storys'n' songs from you Jimmy, so THANKS for sharing !
Cheers from across the pond - Germany !
I know this was a long time ago; but I would've loved to her have heard him do "gods own drunk"
Love this story
I just love this so much.
I can’t believe the old man is gone. ~ Incommunicado. Sail on, sail on, sailor.
My favorite Buffet song. Brings back memories.
Love that song. Thanks for creating the soundtrack to decades full of my great memories.👍
Absolutely heartbreaking that this song was cut from Songs You Don't Know By Heart
I think this Is my favorite jimmy song very under rated guitar player and singer /songwriter
So enjoy this side of jimmy..thank you for sharing this..miss him so much😢❤❤
Self-described as a singer of inordinate tunes, the record labels tried to put in a genre category and could not make his songs fit anywhere. He had a bit of off-center view of life much like some others that had a "cult" style following --AKA "ParrotHeads". I always just liked his music and subjects.
I love these stories. Thank you so much for capturing this.
Love you Jimmy❤...miss you Jimmy😢
#maxorizonz loves you ❤
Thank you for making these videos Delaney. I will miss JB forever. I have seen him at least 40 times and was so excited when summers in the Cincinnati area brought him back to town.
Thank you for this!!!!
I love this song. The entire album is special to me. I only have a cassette and always search for a CD. This post is very special. Thanks for sharing.
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
In 1967 I graduated from high school.
