Very sad to hear about the recent passing of Jim Morris who was one of Trop Rocks best! Jim played many times in the
early years and for the Tampa Bay Parrot Head Club, not to mention the countless times he played for all the clubs around
the country and at MOTM. In 2006 Jim was one of the first artists to step up to write, record and donate a song for the
"Saving Patty Doyle - It's Up To You!" CD that I put together on behalf of the TBPHC which the Save the Manatee Club
sold to raise funds for their great cause. His song, "The Talking Manatee", was certainly one of the cleverest on the CD. It
showed what a creative, witty giant he truly was - even when making a statement about the plight of manatees
Thanks for everything Jim. Sail on my friend!

"Shoes for Kids" was one of Jim's favorite
charities and that would be a wonderful charity
if anyone wanted to donate in his memory.
That is the charity that all the money that Jim
collected from the "$20.00 bill song" went to.
The Charlotte Harbor Parrot Head Club
website: www.CHPHC.com has a button on
the home page where you can donate directly
to the charity.
The total to date from Jim and Sharon Morris
and the "Twenty Dollar Bill Song" and is over
$45,000 to date.
This is a charity that 100% of all monies, shoes
collected goes directly to kids in need.
The Celebration for Jim and his music will be:
Saturday, August 27, 2016

We are not Parrot Heads because we are Jimmy Buffett fans.
We are Parrot Heads because we:
 Love the ocean
 Love our planet
 Love to have Phun
We are Parrot Heads because we:
 Are not afraid to act silly
 Are not afraid to act foolish
 Are not afraid to love
We are Parrot Heads because we:
 Like scantily clad members of our favorite sex
 Like to play in the sun with those same members
 Like singing songs that say all these things
We are Parrot Heads because we:
 Believe the best things in life cannot be bought
 Believe that sharing the best things makes them
better
 Believe in the innate goodness in all of us
We are Parrot Heads because we:
 Know shared love is increased
 Know shared pain is leesened
 Know a good friend has value beyond measure

It just so happens that Jimmy Buffett sings about all these
things.
So….we are not Parrot Heads because we are Jimmy Buffett
fans.
We are Jimmy Buffett fans because we are
Parrot Heads!
