Jimmy Buffett passes away at age 76

Post by OHHS old timer »

The man known as "El President of Margaritaville" passed away Friday. He was 76.

He leaves behind his wife Jane, and three children. JB had a long career...with 30 albums. The hits...Margaritaville, Come Monday, Son of a son of a Sailor, Cheeseburger in Paradise, He went to Paris, Volcano and others.

He was a graduate of S. Mississippi with a degree in history in 1969 (I was 9 going on 10). He once referred to his style of music as "drunk Carribean rock n roll". JB had some business savvy as well....Margaritaville Stores, Cafes, and hotels. He had a net worth of 1 billion dollars.

RIP Jimmy....Margaritaville will be sad for a while but, as the song goes...."Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on". He wrote that song in honor of Hurricane Katrina survivors.

This is from Fox News.....
