Day #5 – One Particular Harbour
This is one of those great songs. People love it. People who do not even know the song love it. It’s catchy, it’s fun. There is not much more that you really need to say.

Day #4 – In The Shelter
In The Shelter is one of those songs that grabbed me slow-like and reeled me in over the years. For the last decade of my life, I would consider that is probably in my top five of my favorite songs of Jimmy’s. There is just something about it. The imagery, the sadness, the way it seems to touch my soul in some way I can’t really explain.
Day #3 – Come Monday
This was Labor Day Monday’s post, which really explains the reason that I picked it. I also really love this song.
Of course, Jimmy left on the Labor Day weekend, and I, like many others, were shocked and saddened by his passing. I think many of us needed the weekend to just to settle into the fact that our Parrothead King was gone.
Day #2 – Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
Hands down, this is my favorite Jimmy Buffett song, although it’s hard to narrow down even a top ten, to be honest. But it remains my favorite and has a special place in my heart. This song certainly touches my soul.
Day #1 – Changing Channels
This was the song floating through my head after a very restless night of sleep, knowing JB had left the planet. It’s a beautiful song, and the emotion sums up change we all must face.
Day #0 – My Heart Is Sad
“The post” came out around midnight my time, from his official pages. I saw it on Facebook and it explained, simply and sincerely, that Jimmy had passed, with his family and friends and music and dogs at his side, on the night of 9/1/2023.
