Jimmy is a soft spoken gentleman. RIP ⛵️🙏❤️. You touched the world with a incredible spirit of love and harmony. And definitely shared with others to enjoy life.
OMG I went to El Centro from 69 to 71...it must have been after that because I for sure woul have gone,,, we did ha v e The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Martin, BW Stevenson, and Keith Sykes, who played with Jimmy for a while, sotty I missed him!😊
These two have more stories between them than you can believe. There's one Jimmy Buffett tells of he & Jerry Jeff drunk on Duval St. in Key West, doing what can best be described as a crawl from one place to the next. Each blames the other for the trouble they got into. If you're lucky you've heard one or two like this one. They're often the best part of the show because they're true & so goddamned funny! *Sad to note that Greg 'Fingers' Walker has retired due to the effects of Alzheimer's disease.
That sucks to hear that Fingers is suffering from Alzheimer’s. The first time I saw Buffet play was in a little bar in a strip mall just outside of Wrightsville beach, NC called Major Riley’s Camp. That night Jimmy, Fingers, Mr. Utley, Deborah McColl, and a couple other people who time has faded their names from my memory. The night was rather special for me because I had just turned 18 and I was looking for a place to party (back then many states including North Carolina were civilized and you could legally drink beer at 18) especially when it was learn it was my birthday and besides not having a bar bill that night Jimmy lead the bar in singing Happy Birthday to me. Unfortunately the bar closed a short the winter of that year. Jimmy and company were supposed to play again the next night but as the story goes Fingers took the bus on a late night food run and things didn’t go so well or at least the story that I heard.
As a young man in Memphis, I spent many nights in Overton Square @ High Cotton, Solomon Alfred's (Larry and the High Steppers were there often) and TGIF's. I miss those days.
Got to meet Fingers and his lady when he played at our Camino California Winery, 2010ish. Great talent. Hope everyone realized who he was. He played with Garrett Wilkins and the parrot heads.
@@tomfindleton4539 I used to go to the concerts at your winery. I remember seeing Garrett there with Fingers. What a great set of shows. I really miss not being able to go to the winery on Sundays and hearing some great music.
Everytime I see or hear Buffet he spends 90% of the time talking rather than performing, which probably makes sense, since he might be the most overrated artist of all time!

I have this entire show that I recorded
Off of TNN I think it was back in 1992. Recorded onto to VHS and later converted onto DVD. A gem to hold onto.
All 3 are having a cold one and doing what they do best.RIParadise

This is a great piece of history from three of the greats…
Great Songwriters and 2 of my Heroes Jammin together again

Legends
Have seen Jimmy so many times but none better then when fingers was with him
also the great guitar of Roger Bartlett
Jimmy actually credits Jerry Jeff Walker w starting his career. He convinced him to ride down to S FL. The rest is History.
With glasspacks on a hot Mustang.
@Kevin Way Austin was a great place back in the day. Miss that. Thanks for sharing!
Jerry Jeff. What classic Texas.
Two of the greatest songwriters to take the stage!And Fingers is cool too!
I used to have this on VHS and those guys told some great stories during that show.
I remember when Fingers Taylor played with Larry Raspberry and the Highsteppers. Saw them back in 1974 in Jackson, MS.
Me too. I used to see them in Memphis and Nashville. Fingers was a great guy. I wonder if he’s still with us?
Thankyou❤
Fins up Jimmy!
Fingers Taylor played mean Chicago blues, but shows what a great back up and texture player he was with Jimmy Buffet.

All three of them have reunited 🤍
RIP Fingers
. Jerry Jeff was my friend .
Fingers 💜❤️💙 You are loved.
What great stories
fingers is the man!
Where tomorrow is yesterday...…that's Hattiesburg.
Fingers is the greatest!
Miss Greg Fingers Taylor not being with Jimmy live! Just not the same show...
agree
If you want some great Greg “Fingers”Taylor, search Larry Raspberry and the Highsteppers!

Sure enjoyed listening to these 3! Too bad that Margaritaville got cut off at the end.

Can you believe the hair. LOL
Why did you stop in the middle of the song!
Argh right? I was enjoying the song with JJW singing harmony...annoying to stop mid song.
doing the long ago a long time ago
Cut without finished by the song, bad form
Randy Smith smoke much?
Salt. Salt. Salt.
How’s Fingers doing? I knew him in the 80s around Jackson. Last I heard he had Alzheimer’s.
Apparently he’s in a nursing home in Madison.

😢wowed
Fingers Taylor's cousin(Toes Taylor) did not have as much success
wow, this is horrible... nothing worse than listening to singer songwriters making small talk, except actors or actresses lecturing on politics

Couldn't agree more.

LOL if you do not understand the importance of storytelling you should not listen to JB. OR Jerry Jeff or Willie
