Episode 5: The Tale of Jimmy Buffett

He became the face and voice for Florida good times and made the Florida Keys THE place to be.  When he passed on September 2, 2023, he left a gap in the hearts of  Parrotheads everywhere and while Bill Monty doesn't call himself a Parrothead, his love of the music and attitude of the Caribbean troubadour drove him to the microphone to record The Tale of Jimmy Buffett.
