Jimmy passed away on Friday September 1.

He was born at Pascagoula, Mississippi in 1946 but his family moved to Mobile, Alabama where he picked up Guitar and began writing songs.

Many of his songs are based on an Island Escapism.

“Margaritaville” his best know song is a dreamy escapist fantasy becomes more impressive when contrasted against the songs’ meaning.

Jimmy said “I was hung over and in the midst of a dissolving relationship when I wrote it”

Margaritaville became a chain of restaurants, adding to his fortunes.

He also invested in Casino’s. Liquor and Retirement Communities.

He became a Billionaire….because he wrote a song during a breakup while he was completely hung over. 

Jimmy Buffett released 30 albums over his career.
