Yes I am a Pirate...and a Gypsy...
"Yes I am a pirate, 200 years too late..." This might be a familiar line to you, even if you're not a parrothead. And, if you have no idea what a parrot head is to start with, let me see if I can use this lens to fill you in. It's not all parties and drinking. Okay, that may be a big part of it - but, it's a state of mind and our purpose is to give back - to leave things better than we found them. And, along the way, you make some really good friends and discover some really good music.
Fins up and follow along, I'll try to show you my "One Particular Harbour".
The Beginning Of This Journey
So, I've always had a fondness for Jimmy Buffett. Then I attended my first concert. It was at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH and it was fabulous. After that, I started doing research (surprised? then you haven''t been paying attention to the way my mind works!) and I found websites filled with information on the man, concert dates and parrothead clubs.I've made many wonderful friends along the way through my parrothead associations and have attended many more concerts. Not to mention getting the art of a great tailgate down to a science.
One of the most important things I have done though is embrace the parrothead that has always been inside me. Yes, we through marvelous parties and drink copious amounts of festive adult beverages. But we also donate thousands of man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to all types of charities and causes. An we have a blast while we're doing it. Kinda makes ya want to find a club and join us, doesn't it?

- This lens is a lot of fun! I may not be a parrot-head, but I've worn out a couple of blenders from mixing Margaritas.

- Greetings fellow Parrothead! I've been a JB fan since the 70's. I grew up in S Florida and went to Key West so many times... "A Pirate Looks at 40" is one of my favorites!
