Remember: 324
Since Jimmy Buffett passed away
His New York Times obituary
Has required three corrections, so far.
But his first musical offering
Sold exactly 324 copies,
And his second album’s master tapes
Somehow disappeared before their release.
Disappointments and failures
Are maybe the worst barometers
of an artist’s true potential.
It might even be said that
The harder someone falls,
The higher they could rise
If they keep plugging away.
