His catalog includes “Margaritaville,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and more.“Let’s celebrate the amazing life of Jimmy Buffett in his own hometown with a second line parade through downtown Mobile and an after party at Moe’s Original BBQ!” the Facebook post says.
“Come dressed in your best Parrot Head attire or Jimmy Buffett costumes and be prepared to dance in the street behind Blow House Brass Band. Musicians of all kinds and any other brass bands are encouraged to bring their instruments and jam out in the second line as well. Bring the whole family! “We’ll meet at the Riverview Plaza at 3 pm and the parade will take off at 4 pm. We’ll go down Dauphin Street and end at Moe’s Original BBQ. There, we will partake in margarita and cheeseburger specials from our friends at Moe’s while enjoying the music of Jimmy Buffett performed by Teddy Williams and friends. Musicians are invited to sign up and perform their own tribute to Jimmy.
“Pets are welcome in the parade, but are not allowed at Moe’s.

Fins up!”
