Nothing Says Summer Like Jimmy Buffett

6.24.24

Summer officially rang in on June 20, and Mother Nature certainly announced it with a heat wave in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. A friend of mine actually invited me to her home in Florida because it was cooler there! But nothing reminds me of summer more than the heat and the music of Jimmy Buffett.

Growing up in Chagrin Falls, Jimmy Buffett at Blossom Music Center was a summer staple. For just $15, you could bring your own chair and enjoy the concert with a vodka-soaked watermelon. Shhh! Those were the days!

On the first day of summer this year, I had the honor of meeting a wonderful couple from Ozark, Missouri. We, of course, got to talking about the show, Ozark and how the show isn't even filmed there. David mentioned it was a good place to hide away if you needed to, similiar to the show. Through further conversation, I learned that he used to be a sponsor for Corona Beer and had the opportunity to meet tons of famous people through his work—Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, to name a few. However, he said there was nobody more gracious with his time than Jimmy Buffett.

David shared that he traveled with Jimmy on the Corona tour and even sold merchandise at the shows. At the end of his tenure, Jimmy Buffett sent him a personalized Gold Album to thank him for his dedication to the tour. "A really class act," he said.

This summer, I encourage everyone to be gracious with their time. Sit back with a margarita and enjoy the sounds of summer—aka Jimmy Buffett.

Cheers to a summer filled with good music, great company, and unforgettable memories!
