KEY WEST-For thousands of visiting Parrot Heads, the dream came true in Key West.
Capping a week-long cerebration of Parrot Head culture, singer Jimmy Buffett thrilled his fans with an impromptu concert Saturday during the Sloppy Joe's Parrot Head Street Festival.
"There sure weren't this many people here the first time we played in the streets of Key West," said Buffett, as the growing crowd roared his name in unison.
"And I bet you thought I didn't live here anymore."

But Key West's biggest live music event in years almost didn't happen at all.
During Friday morning's Founder's Breakfast at Sloppy Joe's, Buffet's manager Sunshine Smith told the assembled group that their hero was in New York City, making pancakes for his kids as they spoke, minutes earlier.
You could feel spirits sinking in the room, as the news set in.

However, as two black 4x4 off-road vehicles pulled up behind the stage where St. Somewhere, The Tom Carey Band, Mango, Mango, and The Land Sharks had been playing all day Saturday, you could feel the electricity in the air.
"He's here!" the audience screamed. Jimmy's here!" And sure enough, he was.
With his son Cameron Marley in his arms, Buffett appeared backstage, chatting with local luminaries including City Commissioner Jimmy Weekley, and radio personality The Real Roy Boy, a roommate of Buffet's in the 1970s.

Minutes later, Buffett took the stage for an acoustic set that included Key West-inspired chestnuts such as Woman Going Crazy on Caroline Street and Tryin' to Reason with Hurricane Season, to the delight of the screaming crowd.
Over the course of his hour-long performance, Buffett toasted his fans, their tireless community service efforts and, of course, the drink that made him famous.
"Excuse me," he said picking up a plastic cup from the drum riser. "I think I'm going to join you for a minute."

Switching gears half-way through the show, Buffett brought The Land Sharks on back on stage for, you guessed it, Fins, Creola, and, of course, Margaritaville, his signature tune for the past quarter-century.
Animated and chatty during his set, Buffet thanked Newt Gingrich for stepping down as house speaker, and Boston's prestigious Berkeley School of Music for inviting him teach a class there next week.
"What am I going too teach those poor kids in school?" he wondered aloud as a roadie handed him a guitar.

As the last notes of Margaritaville faded into the din of the crowd, Buffett left the Parrot Heads with a token of his esteem.
"It's an honor to call you fans," he said. "I really mean that. Now I think I'll come down here and join the party."
The response was instantaneous.

"Jim-my, Jim-my, Jim-my...
