Buffet – a Mississippi native – came to Key West when the area was ruled by pirates and shrimpers. For a Storytelling songwriter like Buffet the area was a goldmine of material. Since those early days Jimmy Buffet has lived the life of a beach bum – a rich beach bum - and entertaining the world with his tales from the son of a son of a sailor. On "Take the Weather With You" Buffet sings about finally visiting a place he heard about from his grandfather's days as a sailor; "Party at the End of the World" tells of an area at the tip of South America just around the corner from Antarctica.
