Even for someone who never seems to have the same day twice, this is a special occasion. Jimmy was honored to give the 2015 Undergraduate commencement address at the University of Miami today. Here he is working on his speech. Who hasn’t wondered what words of wisdom and advice Jimmy would offer?

The Jimmy Buffett Checklist from the University of Miami class of 2015 commencement ceremony.
