A tasty little morsel of #JimmyBuffett & #MarinCounty history.

It was during a Labor Day weekend in 1973 — 50 years ago to the day of his death — that Buffett wrote his first hit song, “Come Monday", written at the Howard Johnson’s on Shoreline Highway (now the Holiday Inn Express) in Mill Valley. Buffett was booked for a three-day Labor Day weekend series of shows at the Lion’s Share nightclub in San Anselmo (opening for Country Joe McDonald).

Morning at the Pt Reyes
The Pt. Reyes is a fishing boat that ran aground many years ago in Tamales Bay in Marin County just north of San Francisco.
The boat has been sitting on the shoreline for many years slowly decaying. All of the windows have been broken out and anything worth money has already been removed.

Teaching at Tamalpais High today. A really nice campus in the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais, and the inspiration for David Crosby's "Tamalpais High (At About 3)". Featuring Jerry, Phil, and Bill from #GratefulDead.

Crosby: I had a girlfriend who was going to Tamalpais High School when I met her. And so “Tamalpais High” is not about getting high and it’s not about the mountain. The subtitle is “At About 3” since 3pm is when high school got out.

Sunday Daydream show at noon today in the former Terrapin Crossroads Beach Park (San Rafael). Small festival with a bunch of TXR & #sfba regulars. Sounds like Phil may make an appearance. #GratefulDead #MarinCounty https://www.jambase.com/article/terrapin-crossroads-sunday-daydream-lineup-2023

Just back from a fun afternoon show in the sun in Marin County, The Flatlanders at Rancho Nicasio. Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock & their band played a great set of Texas Americana, with lots of storytelling thrown in (Joe Ely's sick, so he was unable to make it). They were even taking requests!

Not sure why #IFTTT is still sometimes truncating these. Anyway, here’s the most recent blog post:
