“I saw a sign out there that said, ‘What would Jimmy Buffett do? Throw a party at the oil slick!'” Buffett said. “You’re right!”
“Thank you all for coming from wherever you came to help support our good friends, neighbors — and some of my family down here, as well,” Buffett told the crowd after opening the show with “The Pascagoula Run,” a track from his 1989 album, Off to See the Lizard.
