The Coral Reefer Band will try to “keep the party going”
Posted By RichC on November 1, 2023
It will not be easy for the Coral Reefer Band to keep traveling and performing without Jimmy Buffett, but all the bandmembers have talent and many of them have been together for years if not decades together … “as a family.” So, it is sounding as if they intent to give the concert tour a go without Jimmy … and knowing Parrotheads (the carnival like fans as they are called) … they will probably still come out to sing along and enjoy the party atomsphere.
Would James William Buffett (December 25, 1946 – September 1, 2023) want it any other way? Fins Up Forever …
I appreciated the comment from long time friend … and at great musician in his own right … Mac McAnally as quoted in Rolling Stone:
Even while Buffett was being treated for Merkel cell skin cancer, he would make his way to a stage, only for a few moments, if it meant he could perform for his fans and feed off of their energy. Recalling a New York performance where Buffett made a surprise appearance, McAnally said: “We played ‘5 O’Clock Somewhere’ and when it got to [the line], ‘What would Jimmy Buffett do?,’ nobody knew that he was there. Nobody knew and he walked out from behind the stage. It was maybe 400 people there and they all came up out of their seat. It was like somebody hit them with 220 volts.”
