Like many, I first encountered Buffett’s music in the mid 1970s. I bought his records and attended his concerts through much of the 1980s and 1990s. I started to lose interest in the mid to late 1990s, though. His newer music made me feel like he was just phoning it in, and his concerts seemed to be attended more and more by people that wanted to get drunk and be obnoxious than have fun and listen to music. I listened to him less and less, and I hardly ever go back to his songs these days. Ironically, the first time I used one of his songs as a Song of the Day was in the Wednesday 30 August post, which I wrote on the day he died.
He was a big part of the soundtrack of my life for many years, though, and I have fond memories of experiences and relationships where I can hear his music playing in the background. Godspeed.
Stay healthy and safe.
