This man is a genius and probably the best musician in the world. His personality is so easy and caring. He’s just the best. His concerts are so personal and he’s a one man band. Such a storyteller!!

[@stephentutko7123]

Mac been listening for a while... I have come to the conclusion that it would be appropriate if you and the coral reefer man where to strike out on your own this next summer play a few shows I think it would be cool and maybe healing thank you for sharing the stories and the music with us

[@karenlewis-du4lm]

He's so good. I agree

[@ThomasBernacki]

Amen!

[@onionsoup4145]

Done the old man proud...

[@ManwithAx]

Mac, condolences on the loss of your friend. We will all miss Jimmy Buffett.

[@PhilBaird1]

Jimmy's finest song takes on a new poignancy now in Mac's beautiful cover. Sail on Jimmy...

[@echogl]

[@larryschmid3834]

Mac is a genius and from my impression one of the nicest people God ever made. God bless you Mac and thanks for entertaining us folks watching u right now.

[@johnbasler329]

His guitar playing is absolutely perfect. It’s amazing to see him in person and just watch how he makes embellishments with the chords that no one else can approach.

[@larryschmid3834]

When I have a need to hear this song this where I come now.

[@davidteague4903]

Is one of the best singer songwriters that are still alive I’m going to see him every chance that I can

[@Halffastpaddler]

Aside from the fact that Mr. MacAnally has entirely too much hair for a man of his age, I can't find a thing to complain about with this version. Absolutely beautiful.

[@firstpresbyterianchurchcan6647]

Best it’s ever sounded

[@iannamico]

Mac is a national treasure! Stay young Mac, keep on strumming

[@CathyRixie]

Awesome! I could listen to this on repeat all day! Guitar work is amazing!!!

[@nathancottrell7136]

First heard this song at the age of 8, my stepdad wore out his 8 track cassette. Now, at 47, I can say "I get it". After 2 Army enlistments, 2 kids, 3 failed career paths, and 1 failed marriage ("...I go for younger women..."), I too am "an over 40 victim of fate" ( some self-inflicted ). Dear Mac, THANK YOU for helping me on the 40 + year path.

[@kenkrausse3624]

Never give up

[@TheSteelheadStation]

I wish mac did guitar lesson videos on some of these songs

[@werewolf5674]

Great song, Mac. Missing Jimmy. But you always have that voice in our ears.

[@caseysellers1418]

I fool around on guitar and I always tell people. this is the guy I wish I could play like.

[@pauldeprofio3518]

This is just simply wonderful. Always liked this song and like it even more now.

[@olddvr]

Funny how when I play (try to play) it on the guitar, it sounds nothing like that... Come on Mac, you’ve got sooo much talent - don’t you have a little extra lying around that you could toss my way? Seriously, that’s the best I’ve ever heard that song sound!

[@michele21auntiem]

I agree!

[@jeannestrauss946]

Yes, thank you for keeping Jimmy's music alive! He was so lucky to have you & I know you'll say the same about him. The love comes through your through voice!🎉💕💕🇺🇸

[@slurplerain]

What I find amazing is how this only has about 36k views . I only wish I had a fraction of his talent as a singer and songwriter. Some chick in her underwear playing in intro to a song can get a million views . So it goes. You’re great Mac.

[@rustbeltprogressive3968]

People born in the mid 80s now hearing A Pirate Looks at 40 and going 'wait a dang second!'

[@openbanter1958]

“Made a few rallies.” That part always gets me.

[@burlingtonbill4687]

Love it! RIP Jimmy, Thanks for the best music on the planet. Thank you Mac. Burlington Bill busking here on you tube and anywhere else I can.

[@larryschmid3834]

Can't say enough about this guy who shares a stage with Jimmy Buffett. I'm jealous I don't have his guitar playing skills, his beyond honest voice, and just plain charm. Went out friday night, and the band did this song at the Stockyard restaurant outside on the patio.in Florida. I couldn' help but think of this video.

[@m1nn1s]

Thanks 'Mac' for that Jimmy Buffett song. Just been introduced to your '94 album, ' Knots' by your good friend, Leland Sklar on his KZbin channel. 🎶 The depth of emotion in the lyrics and the beauty of the music is a true work of art 🎨. Thanks for your inspiration. ❤️🙏

[@kenperk9854]

A pirate looks at 40. Now even 60 is behind us. Damn Father Time is relentless! 😬

[@nunyabiz-]

Soulful, crisp, possibly perfect...such an underappreciated artist ! Big thanks ! 🧡🌞

[@kenperk9854]

Many don't know that Mac won the Country Music , Musician of the Year Award about a thousand times. He may be the most underrated musician, singer songwriter on the face of the Earth. I remember when he first hit the INCREDIBLE Muscle Shoals music scene in North Alabama, Southern Tennessee and Northern Mississippi in the mid 70s as a teenager. Check out his resume. Just about every country music artist has paid visits to work with him and its paid off for them as well. Also check Out the CD, Mac MacAnally Live In Muscle Shoals. He doesn't skip a beat doing it live. He's an American treasure.

[@larryschmid3834]

When the world goes crazy I listen to Mac

[@josephward5086]

Mac, you are amazing.! You can take some simple chords and make the sound so beautiful. Thank you! PS you’re Little Matthias spectacular! I love watching you dance up and down the fretboard.

[@altstiff]

Great job Mac, thinking about you right now sir.

[@IdahoNtv]

Prob my fav JB song. Great job!

[@christopherterrell1805]

It hurts bad today. Can’t wait to see you in Westerly in two weeks…Fins Up Mac!

[@jonadams9410]

I went to college in Florence, AL back in the late 70s with Mac’s cousin (they could pass for brothers). Mac was just beginning his music career then. He was fantastic from the get go and only gets better with age.

[@erocgr00t6]

One of my favorites

[@stevefisher9836]

Bought a classical guitar just hoping to play this one day! Such an incredible artist on my favorite Buffet song. Sail on Jimmy

[@somewhatcertain2272]

Beautiful!

[@jackoneil3933]

Amen... Thank you brother... 🥲

[@billtruttschel]

I covered this one on my channel a few weeks ago. I have to bow down to your version.

[@Bindy1414]

Attending one of your concerts is on my bucket list. You are such an amazing musician and although I never lived your stories your storytelling makes me wish I had. Can't wait to shake your hand and tell you thank you in person someday. Please come to Colorado-we have some incredible smaller intimate venues here. Be well and Thank you!

[@larryschmid3834]

Knew u could write and sing, but not play guitar that well. I love Buffett. I wrote "You Can't GO Wrong Singing Jimmmy Buffett Songs", a hit in "my mind only", but my small audience loved it. When I used to gig I did every Buffett song and the audience knew the words better than me. His songs, and Willie's, and Cash, and Waylon's kept me eating and paying the rent. (Google Willie Nelson free soul)

[@americanpatriot7359]

Looking forward to seeing you in Annapolis. We’ll be sittin at table 809🤩🎶

[@Treetopflyer777]

Wonderful version. That and changing channels (one of my fave lesser known JB song) Very nice.

[@josephcorbell2714]

Wish I could see him in Knoxville. He played UNA alot when he was 18 & I'd always go to his gig

[@John-Johnston]

Hey! This is very good! Very, very good!

[@davidteague4903]

That man is so talented. I realize why Jimmy Buffett wanted to have in his band.

[@mt9054]

Standing O here on Maui...🌈🔥🎸🎤

[@somethink.g]

One of the best cover of this song so far

[@richardmuscarello5756]

[@jeremiahwasabullfrog957]

Just what I needed today.

[@jamiepjc]

Hey Mac that’s a really good cover of my favourite Buffett song,you got a great voice and nice strumming!!

[@jay_busey]

Bravo Mr. McAnally! Jimmy smiles down when he hears this one.

[@DavidKiepke]

You are an amazing musician and this was an amazing cover. I’m inspired to learn this song for my future gigs. Bravo my friend

[@jamesdillman6811]

I was fortunate to be watching live when you performed this. It was an amazing performance all around, but this was the highlight for me. Your brilliant talent really shines through. A tip of the cap to Eric for the absolutely perfect performance on the cajon. It was very restrained, but added so much to the song. Thank you, Mac, for the many hours of entertainment at the JB shows and your solo work as well.

[@DirkBob724]

An unassuming genius. I've been privileged to know some great songwriters....sadly Mac was not among them, but I certainly feel an affinity toward him and perhaps someday, we will meet. Surely a guy I could be comfortable writing with!

[@imfattcracker6511]

Holy S#!T Mac that was Beautiful...

[@CtPirate]

Hey Mac, you killed it!! Great job man!

[@davidlj53]
