Jimmy came back to Sheffield to record "Incommunicado" and the album "Coconut Telegraph" at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. A great song that contains a verse about the passing of an American legend, John Wayne.
this drummer was so dynamic. I think this drummer understood Buffett's songs better than any of his other drummers. Coconut Telegraph and Changes in Latitudes are Buffett's most sophisticated masterpieces. His comedic sense is more subtle on these records.
@dolfans03 Thank you for correcting my (obvious) misspelling of Mr BUFFETT's name. Certainly no disrespect
intended. However, I hope that the substance of my comment can be agreed with....(even by the mainlanders out there)

Well, I cannot relate, stuck in N.Carolina. But it is a great story, a great song,
that reflects on Florida, I think. LIke so many of his songs.
If he cannot deal with it, why can't I? the ocean is there. And no one can
tame the ocean.

"Think of Red River and Liberty Valence....I can't believe the old man's gone" What a great line.
