Several months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman after he called me about a used boat. We met and one thing led to another, I find out he's an accomplished entertainer. He's an up and coming Jimmy Buffett type that loves to sing about boats, the Bahamas , an occasional rum and coke and fishing. His work uniform is a pair of sandals, shorts and a shirt. Jimmy's my kind of of man; us Parrotheads of Florida think he's the best. As a boater, I'm sure you will too.
He writes and performs his own songs; this one from his new collection titled "Let's Go Fishing" . Every tune has a history.
As an offshore fisherman myself, I can relate to every word in the song; chasing those billfish from dawn till dusk . Over this weekend, I just decided to put some photos with Jimmy's song; I hope you like it.
If a man must be obsessed by something, a boat is as good as anything, perhaps better than most E.B. White
