Surprise Concert
Island icon performs free concert ... Jimmy Buffett show makes Margaritaville employees VIPs
"I don't give a s--- if you come to work tomorrow," he joked, saying he understood if they had hangovers on Friday. "I don't care what Sunshine says."
Singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett rolled out his musical road map of Key West and Stock Island during an unpublicized concert at Margaritaville Thursday night.
Jimmy Buffett Actually Plays at a Margaritaville
It wasn't advertised that Buffett and McAnally were going to be there — the only indication that something out of the ordinary might happen was a sign that said the restaurant was closing today at 5pm and would reopen at 9pm. For once, Margaritaville was the coolest place in town — and in the entire state of Florida (sorry Miami). (according to one attendee who posted on the Travelogged blog)

Timothy O'hara of the Key West Citizen writes:
Buffett, along with guitar player Mac McAnally, performed a special acoustic show for his employees, friends and fans. Before admitting the general public, Buffett gave his employees and their families front-row seats.
During the show, Buffett paid homage to Sunshine Smith, a Key West resident and his longtime business associate he referred to as his "dear partner." Smith has managed the 62-year-old star's merchandising ventures for decades and oversaw the first Margaritaville in the Key West Bight in the 1980s.
He told Margaritaville employees, who usually have to work during his concerts, that he wanted to make sure they got to see his show while he was in town this time.
"I don't give a s--- if you come to work tomorrow," he joked, saying he understood if they had hangovers on Friday. "I don't care what Sunshine says."

FRUITCAKESYou know I was talking to my friend Desdemona the other day. She runs this space station and bake shop down near boomtown. She told me that human beings are flawed individuals. The cosmic bakers took us out of the oven a little too early -- and thats the reason were as crazy as we are.
And I believe it.
