Carlos Danger Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I really hadn't payed much attention to Buffet in years but his name started to show up more in the custom fishing boat circles that I perused. It seemed like every year or so he was making a one off custom with some high end builder$$$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I guess he had a lace and a boat in Sag Harbor, which is only about 45 mins from the marina. Neighbor was telling us tonight that they had run into him a coule times over the years and he was just a regular Joe and a good guy. Another good one gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted September 3, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 3, 2023 Sad to wake up to the news this morning that Jimmy Buffett has died. Interesting character to be sure. My friend George Lange, the brilliant photographer who blessedly took my moat recent author photos, took this classic picture of Jimmy and financier Warren Buffett, having them swap their clothes. Sail on Jimmy, and thanks for all you did for music and musicians (and Jose Cuervo, who should have given you a cut of the brand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted September 3, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 3, 2023 Jimmy Buffett who is one of my all time favorites has passed away at 76 years of age. I have seen him several times and wish I could see him play again. He is most famous for his song Margaritaville that was was written about a drink Buffett discovered at Lung's Cocina del Sur restaurant at 2700 W. Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas. He did this while in Austin and staying with Jerry Jeff Walker. Here is an awesome picture of Jerry Jeff Walker on the left, Willie Nelson center, and Jimmy Buffett on the right. What a great trio these three would have been. I’ve had many a good time listening to their music and going to all their concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at a family get together at a lake home in west central Wisconsin. The boss and I stopped over to pick up a coworker whose dad owned the place. There was a Ferrari parked out front. We asked "who's car". He nonchalantly took a puff off his cigarette and said, "J. Geils". We thought he was kidding. He invited us in. I got to shake hands and exchange a few words. I was 22 or 23 at the time so it was a pretty big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
