🌴 THROWBACK THURSDAY: COASTAL CLASSICS 🎶
Jimmy Buffett — “Margaritaville”

Bet you’re already singing it in your head. 😎🍹

This week, Gulf Coast Music Radio is heading back to 1977 with “Margaritaville,” from Jimmy Buffett’s album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.

For so many of us, this song brings back a beach trip, a boat ride, or a room full of friends singing along. A few familiar notes, and suddenly you’re right back there. 🌊🎸

💭 What’s YOUR “Margaritaville” memory? Your first Buffett concert? A family vacation? Someone who always turned it up? Tell us in the comments.

🗳️ YOU PICK NEXT THURSDAY’S CLASSIC:
🌅 “Come Monday”
⛵ “Son of a Son of a Sailor”

Comment your pick! We’ll count the votes through Sunday, tease the winner on Wednesday, and feature it next Thursday. 👀

Keep the coastal memories—and the music—going:
