He is a singer song writer that writes and sings about coastal living and sailing and the Islands.
Ever heard of the songs "Margarittaville" or "Cheeseburger in Paradise". These are a couple of his songs, but he has alot because he has been at it over 30 years.
He has a loyal following of fans (of which I am one) called Parrotheads. People go to his concerts dressed as parrots, hula dancers, etc.
Hope this helps. Do an internet search, I bet you find alot of sites about him.

Boog,
He's our answer to Shakin' Stevens. No, he actually does live on a boat just like the songs imply.

Since you have been living in the closet or are obviously very young. Go to any one of the sights and check him out.
Long live parrotheads!

So I can't look back for to long,
There's just too much to see,
Waiting in front of me,
And I know that I just can't go wrong................."

Jimmy is also an author. He has three books, Tales from Margaritaville, Where is Joe Merchant, and the best one A Pirate Looks at Fifty which is sort of a biography in pieces while celebrating his 50th birthday.

Parrot Heads comes from the bar that Jimmy Buffet hung out at in Key West, "The Green Parrot". I am originally from Key West and I lived there during his day of producing such songs as those mentioned above. I also, use to go swimming at a small rocky beach close to his house. He no longer has this house he has sold it. My family tell me that he has bought land and lives there now. My husband and brother in law knew him when we lived in Key West, and I have never heard that he lived on a boat. Prehaps sometime before he owned his house there or after we moved.

I went to "The Green Parrot" while I was in Key West. There was a lot of weird stuff in there. They even had a cheeseburger pillow, in the shape of a cheeburger....go figure.
He has co-authored two children's books with one of his daughters, The Jolly Mon, and The Trouble Dolls.
I go to see him in concert every year. One year I saw him 3 times! It was great. And I usually see a lot of divers I know at his concerts as well. One of my fav boats to dive from always plays Buffett songs while we are out.
I hear that he lived on a boat out around the Coconut Grove Marina in Miami before he was famous. Kinda one of those floating shacks they got there.
Also don't forget, besides being a writer, a singer, and guitar player, he is also a pilot and has restored some very nice old sea-planes. And he also does good for charity and the manatees.
