Eight Bells – Jimmy Buffett

Scott TitusLeave a comment

The passing of time onboard ship is marked by ringing of the ship’s bell. The bell is struck one time for each 30 minutes. Thus, the end of a standard four-hour watch is signified by the ringing of the ship’s bell eight times. Traditionally, the term eight bells has also come to represent the passing of one associated with the sea. Eight bells have been struck for Jimmy Buffett. We have the watch, JB. Sail on sailor.

Episode 02 of the STMB Podcast is a tribute to the life and art of Jimmy Buffett. Follow the link here to listen in. The episode includes a couple of Jimmy Buffett songs and a reading from his book A Salty Piece of Land as well as Herman Wouk’s Don’t Stop the Carnival. I had originally intended to simply read a couple chapters from Jimmy’s book as well as an excerpt from Wouk’s work. However, when I started reading, I was immediately moved by the author’s note Jimmy wrote for A Salty Piece of Land way back in 2001. It was VERY fitting for this episode.

I hope you enjoy the episode. Please drop me a line at scott@stmbpodcast.com and let me know what you think. I promise to keep working on the audio quality. Thanks for listening in the meantime.
