A special moment for everyone at soundcheck on April 11th – a few hours before the show – Zac, the Coral Reefers with Jake and Caroline, played ‘Pirates and Parrots’ for the first time. Watching Jake here.. sums up the emotions of everyone on stage. A beautiful song that come from the heart. Thank you Zac. Track is available everywhere today.

As I race to keep up with my dreams How they shine and glitter and gleam Years grow shorter, not longer The more you’ve been on your own Feelin’s for movin’ grow stronger So you wonder why you ever go home
Spend some time reading about Big Red and you’ll know why he and Jimmy got along so well. RIP Mr. Bill Walton. Belly Up in Solana Beach, April 2021
Here’s to a week full of happy hours.
If you ever wondered what a fly on the wall would see in Jimmy’s home studio late at night…..it would usually look something like this. This is from June, 2015 – practicing ‘Ripple’ before he did his part in a @playing4change video filmed at the Montauk Lighthouse. With two of his favorite fans in the audience.
Jimmy would often send random messages like this… usually from places with a beach attached. very glad he did. 🌴

Jimmy used to go to a little salty piece of land in the Bahamas whenever he had time for quick R&R. A golf cart only kind of place… the fishing & blue waters the Bahamas are famous for. He sent a video of the patio magic hour with nothing but the sounds of the ocean and A1A on the turntable. The only problem? The audio cable didn’t work so it’s just the record spinning with no sound 😀 Was still awesome when trimmed to the ending because this was JB in one of his favorite places.
If anyone asked ‘whats Jimmy doing?’…..there were just so many possible answers. #offtoseethebonefish
On the day of the Hollywood Bowl tribute show, Brandi Carlile joined the Coral Reefer Band onstage for the first time to do soundcheck. ‘Talent’ is an over used word but in the presence of this amount of it – it’s the first thing that comes to mind. She went on that night to deliver two unforgettable performances of two unforgettable songs, Tin Cup Chalice and Come Monday. 🙏 @brandicarlile

if anyone had noticed these two in the back room of some random guitar store – good chance they would have been taking requests all afternoon. ——————— 🎥 Ramos
‘older but not up’
a special weekend here in New Orleans, thought this video would help set the stage. ⚜️🙏

If you had the hotel room next to JB’s you weren’t necessarily going to have a lot of peace and quiet. The sound on this isn’t great but you’ll get the idea.

🍹🌴🌊Grab your margaritas and get ready to wander to “where the song of the ocean meets the salty piece of land!” Jimmy Buffett’s shimmering Caribbean epic is now available in a beautiful new 20th anniversary edition!🌊🌴🍹 Come along with cowboy Tully Mars to the tropical island of Cayo Loco, the perfect place to run away from all your problems. From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two. A Salty Piece of Land combines humor and reflection to remind us that, in Jimmy Buffett’s world, paradise is just a state of mind.

“I got a little wistful there“ Mac “ I did too. I did too“ JB So did we guys. Missing soundchecks after watching this one. #gulfcoasthighway
River gets deeper not shallow The further you move down the stream Wonderin’ if I can keep her As I race to catch up with my dreams How they shine and glitter and gleam
Feb 4th, 2023 upstairs at the Key West Theater – about an hour before taking the stage. A very special week in Key West that was. *reposting due to image quality issue 🙏
