• Rev. K. from DallasThis is one of my all-time favorite Buffett songs although, admittedly, it's one that only die-hard Buffett fans usually know about. What a touching tribute to the man who first set Buffett on the sea, and which created his world-wide tour/career "of life-upon-the-sea."
• Hugh Mcphee from Wick, United KingdomGreat song. Perhaps a wee bit more obscure than the favourites like Margaritaville, et all.
• Cage from Boston, MaJust want to reiterate that this is a beautiful song about his "grandfather"
• Patrick from Philadelphia, PaBuffett often tells the story that when he first was shopping this song around that a record executive told him that it was too sad and that he would have to change the ending so that "The Captain" didn't die at the end. Buffett refused, when asked why he said, "because in the real world he did."
• Richard from Jefferson, NcActually, it was about his grandfather. See the liner notes in 'Boats Beaches Bars & Ballads'
