Default Jimmy Buffett RIP. Dec.25 1946 - Sept.1 2023

I am heart sick about this.. I knew he was ill but since May when he cancelled 2023 shows due to serius health issues to his death 3 1/2 months later is shocking.. But he'd been diagnosed with skin cancer 4 years ago and kept his treatments and diagnosis private..

So May 1 we lost Gordon and September 1 we lost Jimmy.. That's 2 of the 3 faves I've always had.. Kris is not well but I hope he isn't next.

Add in Deb Brinkley, a long time member here and in person friend who died on August 1 this has been a hard 4 months...

November 2012 at Massey when JB came to Massey to see Gordon.. When he started his career he has said that he wanted to write songs in a "Lightfoot style.".. Come Monday is one of them and seems to be influenced also by Early Morning Rain in the story..
