#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.

#97 – University Of Bourbon Street

University Of Bourbon Street is a song that seems to encapsulate just about everything that Jimmy Buffett loved and admired about New Orleans, combined into one rollicking, Jazz anthem that could lift the heart and soul of every person that hears it. There are mentions of voodoo and gris gris, pirates and streetcars, hurricanes and riverboats, Po’Boy’s and Muffaletta’s, and if that doesn’t capture your attention, then the brass band, dancing feet, second line imagery certainly will. A song that is so personal to Jimmy’s life that his parents’ names are even in the lyrics. Then, there is the actual music, which will absolutely have your feet tapping and your hands clapping and your soul lifting up, all wrapped into a nice little “how to” package of fun!

#77 – Bubbles Up

Here it is… the day my spontaneous tribute connects the 76 songs that came before, wrapping up something that began with an ear worm sometime in the night between the ending of September 1st and the start of September 2nd, when myself and many people in the world were reeling from the news of Jimmy Buffett’s passing at the age of 76, is now connecting with Christmas Day, December 25th to cap off what in total is my 77-day deep and sincere thank you card to James William Buffett.

#76 – Wings

Jimmy Buffett said this about wings, “Let’s face it, I like my wings. The ones you can see on my plane and the ones you can’t see in my brain. They have taken me on some very interesting flights”. Wings have multiple different meanings to people, but one thing that most can agree with is that wings are tied to a higher plane than the one gravity ties us to on earth. Here’s to a new set of wings, Jimmy, and to wherever they may take you next.
