The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

More Jimmy Buffett trivia.

Our two grand daughters loved Jimmy Buffett's music while young. I kept one of his CD's on the car stereo, and they always insisted on me playing "Cheeseburger in Paradise" so they could sing along after I picked them up from school to go for ice cream..

I also found a tiny connection with him. He attended the small Pearl River Community college in 1965-66 that I attended in 1951-53. Writeup says he followed a girl friend to the small junior college. But he didn't forget it. He recorded a narration of a halftime show at a football game that featured his music, and waived all fees for using his music. prcc.edu - Bands halftime show features jimmy buffett. I played in that band back in the day.

Someone must check my memory about the BRK annual meeting where Jimmy was featured. When waiting for the meeting to start, the announcer says - in the Johnny Carson intro style - "Here's Buffett". And Jimmy walked out on the stage. The crowd erupted in laughter and then Warren joined him. That's what I recall at least.

I always thought they were distant cousins = because of their appearances - until genetic testing proved otherwise.
