Jimmy Buffett remembered by The Beach Boys

The great Jimmy Buffett passed away on September 1st at 76 years old. The tributes have poured in showing just how loved he was and how his music will live on! Our pal Bruce Johnston from The Beach Boys sent us this photo and commented, "such an empty day today." The mutual love between Jimmy and The Beach Boys was always evident.  Mike Love also wrote a moving tribute after Jimmy's passing and posted this photo among others:
