    I cried like a baby when I saw this video as this song has a particular place in my heart. After hearing how this song saved Jimmy’s life I would say in many ways although different, this song saved my life as well.
    Many years ago I was quite a different young man when I met this particular girl who was quite different from the rest. We had met a few months earlier but I was resistant to commit even though I knew she was special.
    I had a trip planned with my buddies to Key West to get away to cut loose a bit during spring break. Having lived in Ft Lauderdale in the 80’s I was introduced to Jimmy Buffet and became I guess you could say, a Parrot Head.
    Anyway fast forward to my Key West trip I began to realize that the special girl I had been seeing meant so much more to me then I wanted to admit. So much so my heart really began to miss her like no one ever before. Now up to this point we talked about not seeing each other exclusively but I realized that I not only wanted to spend the rest of my life with her but I didn’t want to ever leave her again. So one night while “Come Monday” was playing in the background I decided to call her and tell her my feelings. It was that night told her I would be back early Monday and asked her to “save Monday for me”.
    Fourteen months later we were married and it is still one of the happiest days of my life but it all started with that lonely night and Jimmy Buffet in the background singing “Come Monday”. Now after 30 years this song still has a special place in our hearts. So much so every time we hear it we say “save Monday for me” my wife with a smile and me with a tear in my eye.

      That's exactly how I felt - that he'd live forever. Being in a tropical band and playing some of his songs, it feels like life will never be the same. I feel like a little happiness might have left the earth - but he WILL live on in our hearts, minds and songs - and I'm pretty sure he's playing some amazing tiki bar in heaven right now 🥰🍹The party's not all over!

    I've been playing his songs for many years now. I'll do Margaritaville as a request, but if I'm choosing the Buffett song, it's always Come Monday. I think it's as fine a piece of songwriting as you'll ever find. I woke up to the news this morning and while I'm sad that I never got to see him perform, I will keep these songs going out through the air as long as I can. To quote another one of my heroes who has passed on, "May the four winds blow you safely home," Jimmy.

    Jimmy's music & lifestyle helped pull me out of a dark place in the 90's. I probably over indulged too much in the boat drinks, but that's just another lesson learned & part of the journey.

    One thing that was obvious to me over the years is that David Letterman loves music. You could see he really appreciated the performers who came on his show. Obviously a fan of Jimmy Buffet, and specially requested he play ‘Come Monday’.
    Just sad to realize Jimmy is no longer with us and that voice has been silenced forever.
    RIP, sir. You will be missed by many.

      I'm glad you put him up there with those guys because he was honestly a great songwriter. It's kind of hard to beat Sam Stone, but there are so many great songs that poured out of Jimmy, like Come Monday, He Went to Paris, Wonder Why We Ever Go Home, In the Shelter, and Biloxi.
