Backyards of Key West Podcast with Mark Baratto 217: 217 – The Key West “It’s 5 O’Clock In Key West” Parade in Jimmy Buffett Honor

In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Paul Menta of Key West First Legal Rum Distillery and the person behind putting together the Jimmy Buffett Parade in less than 24 hours, with more than 8000 attendees.

We talk about Paul’s memories of Jimmy, how Jimmy impacted the island, his last concert here in Key West, and how Paul wanted to celebrate the legend’s life with a celebration that Jimmy would have been proud of.
