#120 – Jimmy Dreams

October is a dream-like month, lying somewhere between the glory of summer and the brisk, stillness of winter. What song could fit this month? Every October, Vampires, Mummies and The Holy Ghost comes to mind, but since that has previously been featured in this blog (in a previous October post), something else needed to step forward. There are hundreds of Jimmy’s songs that are worthy of sharing, but as I often do, I left it up a little bit to chance, and a little bit to what is perhaps messages from spirit, perhaps Jimmy himself, and almost immediately, this melody called out. Perhaps, even from “the bright Pleiades…” Jimmy Dreams.

#110 – Ti Punch Cafe

Jimmy Buffett, as a writer, whether of songs or stories, was never short on ideas, nor afraid to let his imagination flow. Some of Jimmy’s songs were based on a simple inspiration, maybe a sunset or a perfect day on the water or an iconic drink from the islands, while some of his songs had multiple inspirations, which he always managed to combine into a fantastic song, as if they were always meant to be merged and set to music. Even odd combinations, such as far away star systems and cosmic bakers, or mythologic singers and pirates, or children’s stories about princes from outer space, Ti Punch Café is one of those songs, a little bit of everything that seems to fit together into a beautiful world we would all like to visit for an hour or two, maybe even longer.
