Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band played a show Thursday night in the city where the term “Parrothead” was first coined. The concert in Cincinnati, Ohio was a special one, with former Coral Reefer Band member Greg “Fingers” Taylor joining Jimmy on stage towards the end of the show. It was the first time that the legendary harmonica player had been on stage with Jimmy in six years.
