Margaritaville Moment 11/5/15

The CD player in the work truck hasn’t worked in over a year.  I drive the truck so seldom it just hasn’t been worth replacing.  Last week, I drove the work truck because my in-laws were visiting and I like them to have the good truck.  Keep in mind the good truck’s CD player doesn’t work either.  Just the radio.

I took the work truck to the office last week Thursday and when I turned the key to drive to the gym and then home, I heard a noise in the player.  I quickly grabbed the stereo face out of the glove box and set it in place.  There were two random CD’s on the floor from the house remodel down the street.  White Sport and a Pink Crustacean and Dylan and the Dead.  I sincerely miss driving around jamming my Buffett tunes, ’cause that’s how I discovered all his songs, so I put White Sport Coat in the deck and voila!  It played…

I was so happy.  I’ve spent the last week driving that truck around playing that album loudly and singing along.  I love playing old school Buffett loud with the windows down.  Something in my mind says, “Do you hear this music, people?  This is real music.  Authentic.”

Tonight, I turned on the Key West MOTM concert and much to my surprise, Jimmy says, “We’re gonna do something special for you tonight.  We’re gonna play White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean beginning to end.”

I’m just livin’ in the Vortex of Margaritaville and lovin’ it!!  Thanks, Jimmy! #FinsUp
