He is living it up in Belize. We passed by his compound last year while down there fishing and my guide pointed it out. Once a year he hosts a series of concerts on Ambergris Caye and donates all the proceeds to the hospital in San Pedro.

Some friends of mine rented Jerry Jeff’s place in Belize when he was either in Austin or on the road a few years ago. They had a blast.

I remember one time seeing him play the Library in Oxford about 20 years ago. This frat boy kept yelling out for him to play the first of the songs in the OP. To my memory, Jerry Jeff’s response was, “I’ve been doing this for thirty 17’n years, and I’ll play whatever the 17 I want to when I want to.” That shut the frat rat up.

I saw him in Oxford too, but about 40 years ago. Me and 3 buddies left Starkville and went to a “Dixie Week” concert. Jerry Jeff and his opening act was Jimmy Buffett! Only concert I’ve ever been to where you could take your beer cooler in!
