Mac was obviously a true friend of Jimmys. His emotions have been so apparent and he’s not grandstanding. He’s always been just a real great, down to earth guy.
I haven’t reacted to a celebrity’s death like I have to JB. Cried like a baby and listening all his music. Been a fan since 1974 and felt like I knew him. Mac, you are wonderful friend and performer. Found your music around 1980. Keep the ride going!
Jimmy must have seen that car in Key West,years ago. Philosophical words painted on the trunk of a Mercedes.I took a picture -2005, it read: life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,but rather to skid in sideways,totally worn out, shouting: Holy Shit What a Ride!
I don’t know if it’s Mac that can do it but I would love to see him “keep the band together” and keep touring. For many years it’s simply been annual reunions of The Parrothead Nation.
Many thanks for putting this very tender video up. Even over a month after Jimmy's death, I have tears in my eyes when listening to Mac. Yet Mac knew and was a close friend of Jimmy's, just don't know he could hold together doing this, but just a lovely , touching tribute to the loss of someone who was far more than the man behind the music, just read the ongoing legion of tributes. Will try to follow what Jimmy told Mac to do. Jimmy, and Mac, thanks for the ride.
So glad you put this up, some of us just can’t get enough and your quality is better than most! I was aware of Mac all these years w/the band and of his individual musical talents but the videos of Jimmy’s concerts of the past year, and these performances it appears he’s really stepping up (?) -good for him! I’m not suggesting he’s a 30+ yr ‘overnight’ sensation lol just glad he’s taking us forward respecting the music we know & love. Sympathies to Buffett family, band, friends & fans 🌴
Thanks Mac you have as smooth and beautiful a voice as any big name performers. You should have enough a front liner a long time ago! Keep on writin' and sangin' you r music, songs, and playin' make this world a better place!!!
