Meet Me In Margaritaville
''Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection'' is a Jimmy Buffett greatest hits compilation album consisting of 2 compact discs and 38 songs.

It includes every track from '' Songs You Know By Heart'' except for "Boat Drinks". This collection presents 12 new recordings. As this is a career retrospective and aimed at a more casual audience, the album met criticism due to a quarter of the material being new recordings rather than focus on the original incarnations of the songs.

The new version of "Son of a Son of a Sailor" is a duet with Nadirah Shakoor. The following four songs are new live recordings: "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)", "Holid ...

Grapefruit—Juicy Fruit
"Grapefruit—Juicy Fruit" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was first released on his 1973 album ''A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean'' and was his third single from that album. The single reached No. 23 on the ''Billboard'' Easy Listening chart in September 1973. The song appears on '' Songs You Know By Heart'', a greatest hits compilation that includes Buffett's concert favorites ranging from 1973 to 1979. It is played very frequently in concert, but is not a concert staple. History Buffett wrote the song in Key West, Florida at a time when he would play in a bar called Howie's Lounge in the afternoon and work on a fishing boat at night.

They would have some purple passion mixed up in a jug, and if mixed correctly the dates would claim they couldn't taste any alcohol, to which Buffett would reply, "That's the poi ...

That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
