Musician Jimmy Buffett has passed at 76. This legend of pop rock made island tunes into an industry singing about the tropics to adoring fans and 'Parrotheads'. His greatest hits album became a big hit, and his concerts built a phenomenon. He even dabbled in film and TV recently making numerous appearances on the revival of Hawaii Five-0.
I have been blessed seeing many pop artists, but Buffett was one I did not have the pleasure of experiencing.The closest I got was visiting San Diego decades ago and a friend taking me to Buffett hangout, The Belly Up Tavern. For me, his music brings comfort and a smile.
