Here are some photos from the July 1st & July 2nd (Margaritas and Memories)shows from Sunset Cove in Portsmouth, RI. It's a great venue for these shows and with proceeds being donated to Dana Farber, it's for a good cause. I would recommend stopping in for a drink, some live music, and checking out the small memorial garden if you're in the area
My dad fondly remembers when Buffet played a private show at Caddy’s during the Banana Wind Tour under the secret name “Freddie and the Fishsticks”.
He only recalls hearing Stars on the Water but there isn’t an official setlist anywhere. Does anybody who was there remember what else was played or have a setlist of that show?
Just a question.
Hello, Ive been watching this guy on YT for a bit called Horses. He makes documentaries and video essays, he made on about Jimmy Buffett that was deleted recently (maybe a year ago now) and I would really like help finding it. The video is about the life of jimmy buffett done in a doodle or painted art style and explains how he become successful and his counter cultural influence. Ive tried using the way back machine but cant figure it out and i have no link to the video anymore so if anyone can help THANK YOU!

I need newer beachy vibes artists in my life. I love stuff like Jack Johnson, and Ernest’s new beach country album. Who else fits the vibe?
Just had to get a reminder that the joy is always enough.
Now I hope this isn't too controversial, as we all love Jimmy's catalogue here, but I'm wondering if anyone's made a tier list of his records based on their own personal preference?
I've just finished listening to an album a day in June (fourth year I've done this). The first two years I went in chronological order, the third in reverse. This fourth year I've done it using a random number generator to pick the order. Here are my gradings. Hopefully people realise this is relative to his own catalogue and so not see a C or D as too harsh. I know for some people they'd not go below a B if Jimmy's their absoloute favourite. So I will say I still enjoy listening to the D tier albums for example. The F tier ones still have good songs too., just a fair number I don't. I'm also not a big Chritmas music fan. The only exception would be the two at the very bottom, which I genuinely don't like.
January 16, 1996, Jimmy “Bubba” Buffett departed for his flight to Jamaica with U2's lead singer Bono, his wife Ali, their children Jordan and Eve, and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell on board.
Well, wouldn't you know it, but when arriving on the north shore of the island of Jamaica near Montego Bay, the seas were too rough to attempt a landing, so Jimmy diverted to Negril, where the Hemisphere Dancer touched down safely in calmer Caribbean waters.
As the big white seaplane was taxiing to shore shortly after landing, Bubba, Bono, and all on board were met with a shower of bullets striking the aircraft's hull…
I’m on a mission to finally answer a question we’ve probably all argued about at some point: what is the greatest Jimmy Buffett song of all time?
To do it right, I’m building a full fan-driven bracket—but first we need to determine the best song from each album.
I’ve actually been running a modified version of this album-by-album with my family for the better part of the last 9 months, and it’s been an absolute blast. It’s turned into some great debates, surprising winners, and a lot of rediscovering deep cuts.
Here’s how it works:
- Each album will have its own vote to determine its top track
- Those album winners will advance into a tournament-style bracket
- From there, we’ll go head-to-head until we crown the ultimate Buffett song
It’s super easy to participate:
- Go at your own pace—no deadlines or pressure
- No password required, just log in with a magic link sent to your email
- Check out the results page to see how your picks compare with others, plus some fun stats and metrics
This isn’t about charts or radio play—it’s about what real fans think deserves the top spot.
If you’ve got strong opinions about deep cuts, classics, or underrated gems, this is your time to weigh in.
Let’s see if the usual suspects hold up—or if something unexpected makes a run.
Fins up, and let the debate begin!
I’ve seen a few posts and some newspaper articles about some of JB’s homes that have been put on the market and sold. Does anyone know of any of his former homes on the market today? Have all of his homes been sold or are some being kept in the family?
“Take your drunkin 15 year old girlfriend home”
I believe Jimmy's connection with the USS Alabama is well-known; after his passing, the Alabama revealed that two planes that had been donated anonymously were actually donated by Jimmy.
Also well-known was Jimmy's love for the Navy, Naval Academy, Navy Sailing, etc. He performed at the Pensacola Naval Aviation Musuem in 2011 for a fundraiser.
Does anybody know if he donated or funded restoration for any planes to the Naval Aviation Museum? I'm visiting the Gulf Coast in a few weeks and plan to visit the museum. If Jimmy had a part in any of the planes on exhibit there, I'd like to make sure I see those.
New born baby arrived 4 weeks ago. Found this out and about. Read it to him and he loved it! Teaching them young!
Has anyone stayed at the Cancun resort? Would you recommend?
