People often ask me how I became such a big Jimmy Buffett fan so I decided to add this feature to the Rum and Cigars site. When I was 11 or 12 I bought my first Buffett tape, "Songs You know by heart". Since I grew up on the coast this album is considered to be the holy bible of music. Many years later when I went off to college I attended Piedmont College in the North Georgia Mountains and there were no beaches, no offshore fishing, nothing but COLD! I got up one morning to go to class and when I stepped outside my foot was in a few feet of snow. I thought to myself that this is it! Since I couldn't go to the beach or catch a flight to warmer climates I decided to add to my Buffett CD collection and pretend I was at the beach. From that day forward I have often put on a Buffett CD and pretended that I was at home sitting on a beach, fighting a large sand shark with my fishing pole. I have also seen Buffett in concert, 10 times in 5 different states. What can I say, a state of mind is a state of mind!
