Whi is Jimmy Buffett?
I will say it, Jimmy Buffett is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Sadly he is no longer with us, having passed away in 2023. He personified the laid back beach lifestyle and Island Escapisim in much of his music. He worked in Genres like Easy Listening, Folk Rock, Country, Gulf and Western. His fans are referred to as Parrot Heads. For such a prolific musician (30 albums with several certified Gold and Platinum) it is uprising he is not more well known.
