Hello. My name is Herb, and I am not a Parrothead. But my wife is. She said so on Thursday.
I miss her writing now that she’s a desk jockey. I was happy to see her voice and face back in the paper. And, apparently, she touched a lot of people with her thoughts on Jimmy Buffett’s new CD in Go Triad. (Sorry there’s no link. It wasn’t posted online).
So far, several Buffett ‘heads have responded, including Ed Kitchen. She’s also been invited to join the local Parrothead club.
But bringing out the current fans is not enough for my wife. She’s indoctrinating our daughters. She plays the CD over and over again in the van.
The other day, Abby asked her to put the CD on. Then she said, “Mommy, do you think we can go and see him play his music together someday?”
And just like that, a new generation is born into the Conch Republic.
