‘Margaritaville’ singer’s grandfather was from Glace Bay
” was the only song Buffett performed in his lone “Saturday Night Live” appearance.
Buffett said he wrote it after seeing a picture of his grandfather, who died in 1970, after he’d returned from a trip to Nova Scotia. “He was born there but left when he was a young man and didn't return until he was 84. He was standing on dock staring at an old sailing schooner, and the look on his face told the story of where he had come from and where he had been. I have always been very proud of my heritage as a sailor and wrote this for the men who taught me the skills."
