11. My First Date With My Wife Was a Buffett Concert In 1978

At the County Bowl in Santa Barbara. He was always liberal to middle of the road in his beliefs, but a strong progressive when it comes to the Environment. Saving the Mantatees was his biggest environmental effort, along with the Everglades. In fact, we listened to the end of his last concert of the year from Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. His closing words were about saving the one and only Planet we have.
I wish we could be there.
The best Buffett concert we ever saw was on my wife’s birthday in 2007 at the Filmore in San Francisco. We were right up to the stage, and so close, we would have been able to hear him sing even if his 🎤 was off.
