40 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2023 | Karaoke Group We recently heard the sad news that we lost two more of our music favorites. On Sept. 1, we lost superstar Jimmy Buffett at the age of 76. Jimmy Buffett was a unique party guy. He made the song Margaritaville a fun frame of mind. Some of his best known songs were Margaritaville, Come Monday, Volcano, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, Let's Get Drunk, It's Five o'Clock Somewhere with Alan Jackson, and Cheeseburger In Paradise. His fans called themselves Parrot Heads and Cheese Heads. His last words to his sister were, "Have fun." We also lost a lesser-known singer of the 1960s. Terry Kirkman was the lead singer of the band e Association. Terry passed away on Sept. 23 at the age of 83. e Association's best known songs were Windy, Never My Love, Along Comes Mary, Cherish, Time For Livin', Everything at Touches You, No Fair At All, Requiem For e Masses, Six Man Band, and Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies. I was lucky to have seen Terry in person at Doug Weston's Troubadour Club in the early 1970s. Terry was an excellent vocalist. If you're a fan of Jimmy Buffett, e Association, or any other kind of music, join Rosie Ingalls, Barb Miller, and D.J.
