My dad loves Jimmy Buffett as much now as he did in 1991. Every day whenmy brother and Iwere growing up, we heard Jimmy Buffett. It was the music we were raised on, and we knew all the words to Cheeseburger In Paradise, Come Monday, Son of a Sailor, and Fins by the time I was 7 and my brother was 5.

Cheeseburger In Paradise was my favorite song and I remember blasting it, rocking out in my room. My dad told me "good god almighty" was not something I should say, so I didnt sing that part.

I remember him bringing my mom into the room, turning on the music, and my brother and I would dance around singing the songs for her.

Our baby sitter tried to get us tickets to Jimmy Buffett in Virginia Beach but they were sold out. My dad told us we were too young to go to a concert like that anyway.
