I first saw Jimmy by accident. I went to see Delaney Bramlett at the Troubadour in LA and Jimmy just happened to be the opening act. in 1974. Just Jimmy and a guitar. It moved me and I found his first album the next day. Then cam A-1A and I never looked back. I saw him once again at the Hollywood Bowl with the full band. He did not disappoint. I cried like a three year old when I learned he passed.

In 2006, I picked up the book in DFW airport on the way to Mexico to decide if I could retire there. Checked out Sayulita and Chacala. Bought a salty piece of land in Lo de Marcos. Built a casita overlooking the ocean. Went surfing. Ate shrimp tacos. Learned to make a decent margarita. I’ve since given that book to a dozen different people. Thank you and rest in peace, Jimmy.

Jimmy's voice is true to the lyrics. I'm secretly happy that not many people know or request this song; almost like he is singing this just for me.

The first time I heard this Is when they played it live at Rockefeller Centre on the Today Show. This one has always stuck with me like many of his songs but if I had to choose a favorite this would be it. I play guitar and I love covering A Salty Piece of Land. Rest in Peace Jimmy. You left us too soon. Hope you found your Salty Piece of Land in Paradise.

I can't believe he's gone, love the way he wove his songs into this book, Where Is Joe Merchant & Tales from Margaritaville. Wish he could have written more before he left but damn he lived a good life & left a lot for us to enjoy in the time we have left until the last mango. RIP Jimmy, you paint the sky every night above the lone palm.

Like a lot of other people.I first heard of Buffett when 'Margaritaville' hit the Top 40 airwaves back in the '70s. 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' was another one of his I'd been hearing a lot as well a little bit later on. But I had an older brother & sister whose jobs & lives both took them to S.Florida/Florida Keys,the Bahamas & the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico some years earlier. Both each said to me while visiting at different times (This was the very late '70s /very early '80s) 'Next time you're at a music store,you really should check out some of the other stuff he's put out that gets little or no airplay most places'? So I did. And they were both right.....there is something both relaxing,poetic & 'deep' about his songwriting. I've also read a few of his book(s) as well as time has passed. And though my brother has since passed on,he's probably up there now swapping stories with 'Papa' Hemingway (He turned me on to him,too?) and drinking his scotch or brandy, (And he always got the Good Stuff,too?) my sister is smoking one of those 'funny cigarettes' (Right,Sis....like I didn't know you smoke those??) on her sailboat (Which seldom goes very far from the harbor for very long....my brother was a ship's captain and he'd always teased her about that!) and I'm just sitting here drinking my beer,and wondering if wherever this is are the fish biting, I'm sure we're all kicking back somewhere listening to this??

Here's a little story A few years ago they were seeking donations to repair an iconic lighthouse on Mt. Diablo in Contra Costa County and I tried to get them to give a copy of the book to anyone who donated to the cause. Unfortunately my idea didn't get through soon enough to make a difference. But they did get the lighthouse repaired after all. But I think it could have happened quicker if they'd used my idea

I very dear friend gave my this book when I was going through a shitty time in my life. I must have read it 5 times at least. She played me this song in her car before she gave me the book. I’d moved back to Florida from the mountains and had discovered fly fishing . I still thank her for pushing that book my way. The song is fantastic. Thank you for posting. Yes I’d love it to be released.
