Jimmy Buffett - Tin Cup Chalice - Directed by Delaney

[@kevinblanton546]

My family asks me “Why do you listen to Jimmy Buffett all of the time”. Jimmy has been making me smile and laugh every since the 70’s. God bless him!

[@vaccumsealed]

Jimmy meant the world to me. Im sitting here on my lunch break as a FedEx courier on a sunny afternoon of Sept 20, 2023 here in Knoxville, TN. Ive been a fan of this poet for many many years but only had an opportunity to see him once, but i was fortunant and thankful for that. I listen to this man EVERY......SINGLE.....DAY as im at a crossroads in my life and not know what to do, but his music brings tears, memories, and motivation, yet I remain clueless in what direction God wants me to take. Neverthless, whatever road it is, Jimmy will always be with me helping to ease my worries. So glad these videos were shared. Is this his daughter speaking with him?

[@andrebeauchamp6160]

👍

[@ringooneringoone3042]

Yes, it is his daughter, Delaney, as in: James Delaney Buffett Jr of "The Captain and the Kid" fame.

[@karenlewis-du4lm]

Yes Delaney

[@5Ring]

I've been a Parrot Head for over twenty years. This is my favorite Jimmy song. He was born the same year as my Dad and died the same year. It's been hard.

[@Rufusismydogsname]

@@5Ring Wow same here except he died 2 years after my dad. They were both born in '46 though. And this is my favorite JB song. And yes, it's been hard.

[@Lucy-x6x5i]

My favorite interview. Thank you Delaney for sharing your father with the world. What an absolute loss.❤

[@greggwendorf2223]

This docuseries by one of Jimmy's daughters, Delaney, is worth its weight in gold. Gonna miss this guy so much. His music lives on, but knowing Jimmy is no longer with us is just pretty damn depressing.

[@lesterelkins4050]

Be thankful for the gifts of music he left us! That's how I can still enjoy listening to Jimmy and not be sad. Gratitude in life brings joy my friend. Try not to be sad and enjoy!

[@ryanstroh4505]

@@lesterelkins4050 I agree with you and Gregg here -- the music and all the stories will live on forever. The idea that he's not around, and there isn't another concert to attend is pretty sad though.

[@paulouellette6881]

Delaney...I can't imagine someone being a fan of your Dad & NOT knowing Tin Cup by heart. We owe you huge for doing this series of videos for us. Thank you sooooo much & cyber hugs from SW Ontario. Paul & Mary.

When this series was released, I thought it was nice, especially during the pandemic when he wasn't touring. But now, after his passing, I realize how amazingly lucky we are to have this content.

[@danlackey9120]

Thanks Jimmy and RIP. You deserve more credit than you were ever given.❤️❤️🎶😎

Thank you Delaney for creating these videos with your dad. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I have listened to your dad for 45 years .

I'm a few years late getting to these lol but none of them feel like deep cuts to me.

[@johnnalty5150]

Jimmy Buffett, The soundtrack to my summers for at least 25 years. I loved the authenticity to his writing. There was a song to get me through any of lifes trials. Rest In Peace Jimmy 🙏 and God Bless the entire Buffett family during this difficult time 🙏

[@lorireynolds568]

So thankful you were able to do this.. Your Dad will be greatly missed all over the world..I am so sorry.. 🙏❤️

[@paulhall170]

Last track on A1A, Jim's most melodious album, a gorgeous song, but you don't want the album to stop.. Thank you, Delaney, you bring out the best in your precious dad..

[@karenlewis-du4lm]

Yes,she did

[@saylorgirl799]

Delaney thank you so much for doing this series. These videos are a treasure just like your Dad was to all of us. I’m so sorry for your loss (and ours). Prayers for you and your family. God bless Jimmy Buffet, our generation’s poet. ❤️🙏💔🙏

[@jerryfrederick6610]

I can hear the love and respect they have for each other in the words and responses. Breaks my heart we lost such a wonderful singer / songwriter / storyteller. Jimmy Buffett is the finest example of joy.

[@titansfan4215]

It’s crazy how sometimes I’ll meet people who don’t really care for Jimmy‘s music (it’s a rare occasion )and it’s just sad. They are really missing out. Theres so much more than Margaritaville , he was a brilliant and awesome guy.

[@Jasonwallis-e6k]

Rest in peace son of a son of a sailor. ❤

[@dubs3400]

I loved this man, his music, his connection to all of us as a distant relative who we never saw, but was fiercely loved and always present in our lives. Godspeed Jimmy!

[@thomaskluz727]

I recently came back from a vacation trip to Key West with my wife and granddaughter. We experienced minor tropical storms while trying to reason with hurricane season Debbie. Mallory square is where everyone gathers to watch the sun set, silhouetted with sailboats doing the same. It is magical. I wanna go there.

[@jeffsnipes9188]

Jimmy Buffett is the greatest transcendentalist poet of all time and he could sing and play the guitar a little too. I've been listening to him since middle school because my mother played his cassette tapes in the car as she drove me to school. I'm now living one of his songs in the Florida Keys that he didn't even know he wrote. Thank you and God Bless you Jimmy!

[@NancySlider]

Beautiful memories you’ve shared… and still making now!

[@ATOMICROBOT667]

Coming here after hearing of his passing, hits hard!! RIP jimmy..

[@leahmashburn2975]

As a Florida Gulf Coast native, i absolutely love this song! This music was played in my house in the 70s and 80s.

[@westtexas.2238]

RIP. So many great songs, but this one is my favorite

[@rlee6503]

mine also

[@cherylnekos4674]

RIP, Jimmy. We loved you and your music

[@ralpht1965]

Thank you Delaney for creating and sharing these snippets of your dad's life. As always, he was a story teller extraordinaire. Delaney Talks to Statues is still one of mine and my son's favorite songs. It reminds of the times when my sons were growing up into the men they've become. Hugs from one of many parrot heads ❤🦜🌴

[@ericetrain]

When I was 9 or 10 in the late 70's, I remember getting a copy of You Had To Be There Live '78 on 8 track. I wore that 8 track out. Then got it on cassette and wore that out. Jimmy was the first concert I ever went to on my own dime. I learned the guitar and learned every song on that album, and even used to play (underage) in bars doing his songs. When I left to study abroad for a year, a friend made a copy of every one of his albums (up to that point) on cassette for me so I wouldn't be too homesick. Learning about the history of these songs and the story behind them has been absolutely invaluable. Thank you for making these videos Delaney. Your father inspired me immensely to become a songwriter. Thank you Jimmy for the gift of your music and the inspiration. The world was a better place with you in it!

[@Sticks-of-TNT-tf1tn]

“You Had to Be There” and I was fortunate enough to actually be there. Most of the album was recorded August 8-10, 1978 in Atlanta at the Fox Theatre, a grand old Moroccan style historic landmark theater where “Gone With the Wind” had premiered four decades earlier in 1939. We had terrific seats, center balcony, looking down on the stage. It was an epic evening and the album really captured the magic. Carry the torch forward. It’s really cool that younger generations love him as much as we did. Good luck with your music 🧨

[@jeffcope100]

Thank you Jimmy Buffett for bringing so much fun and happiness into this world. We lost a real treasure. Heaven's gain. RIP Jimmy

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

The penultimate teller of stories and a singer of songs... We have lost a great soul.

[@Lucy-x6x5i]

Thank you Jimmy & family. What an absolute treasure ❤🎵

[@ebayscopeman]

RIP Jimmy. You were one of the great lyricists of our generation. I know you are there singing with the angels.

[@marci.abraham]

Delaney, bless you for doing this series. "Tin Cup Chalice" is one of my all-time favorite songs your dad has ever done. My baby sister passed away a couple of years ago and this song makes me think of her. When we were little, she had a "tin cup" that our mom always served her juice out of. The last time we were together we found a wonderful red wine that we loved. So I always think of that cup when I hear this song. My mom still has it, and one day, I plan to raise that little tin cup full of red wine in memory of my sweet sister. Thank you.

[@paulas_lens]

Maybe your sister and mine are attending Jimmy's first concert in Paradise. ❤

[@marci.abraham]

@@paulas_lens Oh that's beautiful! After all, what would Paradise be without Jimmy? He brought all of us to Paradise on earth. My heart goes out to you. Jimmy got me through some really dark days when my sister passed. It's not something you get over, but you find ways to cope. And when you and I get to the other side, we'll find each other, and our sisters, and Jimmy!! And we'll dance, sing, and celebrate! Until then.... ❤🌴🌊

[@stevehassenplug5150]

I am a Parrothead through and through....My first concert was Jimmy opening for Linda Ronstadt at Jacksonville St. U. in 1976. This song contains my favorite line from all of his songs: "give me oysters and beer, for dinner everyday of the year, and I'll feel fine." LOVE YOU JIMMY!!

[@saintakira9627]

Just bawling 😭 watching this today. I raise my tin cup to you.

[@heather226]

Me too!! The tears just sneak up on me! ♥️😢🦜

[@mattskillman]

When I think Buffett, this is in the Top 3. Definitely one of my favorite songs from Jimmy. For those of us that have fallen in love with KW, we all "wanna go back to the island".

[@donaldl.taylorp.a.8742]

Was on “The Boat Ride” concert with your Dad in 1976 in St Pete - and booked bands on St Pete Beach at Watership Down in the 1980’s - we used bits of this song in radio ads mainly because i just LOVE THE SONG - and i literally could eat “oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year”! SO HAPPY that you and your Dad did this series … God Bless you - and remember to celebrate his BIRTHday …. Not so much that sad day from what has been almost a year ago, now ….

[@TrumpetMAB]

Another of my favorites of his. Glad I share that with Delaney.

[@kfranksd]

I love the old pictures of Jimmy. So envious of the curls and the mustache!

I live in Florida. Jimmy Buffett and his music had been an essential part of my life since 1990. His music carried me through some difficult times, and I am forever greatful to him for that. In April going down to the keys with friends. First stop is Margaritavile in Key West, just to feel closer to him❤️

[@lauriesantarelli356]

These interviews are amazing....I am enjoying them so much listening to Jimmy's stories about Key West and the songs....He's responsible for us loving Key West so much...we go every year for the past 33 years.....never made a trip without taking Jimmy's CDs with us....later years always had Sirius in the rental specifically for Radio Margaritaville...lastly my husband and I were married there 21 years ago this month...❤❤❤❤ Thank You Jimmy.....❤❤

Thank you Delaney for recording these wonderful conversations and songs with your Dad. He lives on and through his music, still improving people's lives, getting them through hard times, and for reminding us all to enjoy every sunset. He also lives on through his wife, children and family. I pray he is at peace.

[@carlathomas7106]

Oh my. I can't love this enough. I first heard Jimmy in 72. I have loved him, his lyrics, and books ever since. The world is a sadder place without him. Glad there is media so he can live on through it

[@Irishhaf]

Always was my favorite, didnt even realize he wrote it the year I was born till listening to this.

[@soozieque76]

Dear Delaney, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved daddy. Yes, we loved him as Jimmy Buffett, but he was your dad. I know you miss him every single day. My deepest condolences to you, sweetheart.

[@burlingtonbill4687]

Thank you Delaney for these priceless snippets into the songwriting mind of Jimmy Buffett! For years the two Grandsons as little boys would come down from northern Wi. to our home for holidays. The first thing we would do is go into a rec room in the basement where I had built ramps and we would get out the match book cars, turn on the lava lamp and put Jimmy Buffett on the stereo. We would play for hours. God I miss those days. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on my you tube site. (I cover Jimmy and some originals like Sailing to Freedom)

[@ClydeHUC]

Why the sorrow question mark I immensely enjoyed jimmy as did the world for fifty years want to be grateful for that

[@leealpalazzolo8024]

Who knew that stupid lock down would provide us with this great treasury of songs we loved but rarely heard live. The man may have passed on but as long as the sun sets in Mallory Square, Jimmy will be remembered.

[@mikefinn62]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. GOD SPEED JIMMY! YOUR SONGS WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!

[@llockejr]

My daughter is named Delaney after the song Delaney talks to statues. RIP Jimmy. You'll always be an icon to me.

[@cynthiak3376]

Its so funny, this morning I was just out on my balcony, playing all the Jimmy songs I know by heart, and I played and sang Tin Cup. It was just me, my guitar, and a big smile. Sometimes thats all we need. Delaney, and Savannah, your daddy isn't gone - and he will never not be with us (sorry for the double negative)... As long as there are sunsets over the ocean, we will see his face..... Bubbles up, and God Bless. ~Cindy ❤

I had a great time at Folly Beach SC working on "Trip Around the Sun" with your Dad. It was surreal sitting with Jimmy as he watched himself on "60 Minutes" in that old Folly House. SURREAL! I know he has a real connection with South Carolina. Marshall Chapman wrote with Jimmy on several albums including "Last Mango in Paris" tells a lot of stories about her time with Jimmy on tour and in Nashville. She lives in SC now too. Great channel!

I agree Delaney, this is also my favorite song of Jimmy's. I grew up in NYC, and there were many brutal winters. My folks were moving south as I was leaving H.S. and this song was the catalyst for bringing me in to the Florida tempo of life.

Hard to believe this isn't in the top 5 known by heart.

[@hanwaisproperty]

It's so touching to see Jimmy being in thoughts and emotional after singing some of these songs (The Night I Painted The Sky, is another). He must have so much memories to each songs, starting from when they were written. I mean even we have some of his songs tied to some events or memories, long life to you sir!

[@maryroberts589]

Not nearly long enough! Strange to be delving into these videos to see some comments left when they were first posted during quarantine and others after we were plunged into mourning 2 weeks ago when Jimmy sailed off into a Mallory Square sunset. All of it is sealed in a time capsule of memories along with all of my concerts, from Labor Day weekend shows in MA to many after moving here to FL. I can't believe there won't be any more!! 😢

A song like this only comes around maybe once or twice in our lives and it becomes that profound, that personal and that memorable. And to encapsulate that into a small interview by Delaney, just allows us as humans to hear a story anytime you need some joy, some remembrance and to just...feel human. Lets keep the party going.
