My daughter would never have approached him, either—neither would I—all of us are rather shy, although he comes across as a down-to-earth person. :) Still, that's so cool that your son laid eyes on him.
Neither of us ever got to do the classic "Fins" move :( (1:25+ in this video): https://youtu.be/HR6doSTLe4o?feature=shared

It’s so sad when someone who made our life brighter departs.

I found this article on Jimmy Buffett's music quite interesting: https://theconversation.com/the-beautiful-pessimism-at-the-heart-of-jimmy-buffetts-music-213043
The theme of escapism is one thing that appeals to me tremendously about his music, now more so than ever in this (ugh) election year and amid skyrocketing rent, insurance, gas, and grocery prices. I wish I could live the story relayed in "The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful":

I see Paul was at the tribute concert at the Hollywood Bowl a few days ago (beginning around 1:07):
