#118 – Love In The Library

It’s summer, and it’s warm, and while Montana’s August heat and mild humidity cannot compare to the sweltering summer heat of the gulf coast, it’s probably a given that most everyone can appreciate quiet and cool, such as in sheltered libraries or because of the gentle night breeze and midnight drive that brought this song to my attention last night. One of Jimmy’s more gentle songs, as sweet as it is surreal and sublime, hiding in a cool corner with a good book and a good song, seems quite appropriate. Love In The Library is the song that is calling out to be shared this month.

#100 – Peanut Butter Conspiracy

Sometimes there are songs that can make a listener laugh right out loud and sing along at the same time, and Peanut Butter Conspiracy by Jimmy Buffett is exactly that kind of song. It’s humorous and irreverent and charming, which showcases some of Jimmy’s greatest songwriting abilities, all tied up in a neat package with a lyrical quality that makes the song both easy to listen to and easy to sing. And even if you have never stolen one thing from a convenience store, somehow the listener can connect to the song in a way that feels real and understanding and forgiving all at the same time.

Day #36 – Delaney Talks To Statues

I am not certain if Jimmy or Delaney had any idea the impact that these video interviews would have on Jimmy’s fans, but they certainly did. I for one loved watching them all before, but after Jimmy’s passing, they have a whole deeper meaning for me, and I am so grateful to this father and daughter team for providing us with such a special and personal series.
