I think i am up and with my next selection i will fill my wildcard singer with one of my favorites Jimmy Buffett.
Have seen him a couple of times in concert and they have been some of the best parties i have ever been too...

Born to James Delaney "J.D." Buffett Jr. and Mary Loraine "Peets" Buffett in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent part of his childhood at 4623 North Sunset Drive in Mobile, Alabama.[1] As a boy in grade school, he attended St. Ignatius Catholic School. He later lived in Fairhope, AL, referenced by Jimmy as what he considers his "Home Town" during a 2001 concert (11/5/2001 at Philips Arena, Atlanta Ga during set list 2, just before playing song number 15, "When the Coast is Clear"). He graduated from high school from McGill Institute for Boys (now McGill-Toolen Catholic High School) in 1964. He began playing guitar during his college years at Auburn University and The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he received a bachelor's degree in history in 1969. He was initiated into the fraternity Kappa Sigma (ΚΣ) at the University of Southern Mississippi, but left the fraternity soon after. He later married his first wife, Margie Washichek, at Spring Hill College in Mobile. After graduating from college, Buffett worked as a correspondent for Billboard magazine in Nashville, breaking the news of the separation of Flatt and Scruggs. He and his current wife Jane have two daughters, Savannah Jane and Sarah Delaney, and an adopted son, Cameron Marley. Buffett is a licensed pilot, holding instrument, single and multi-engine land and sea ratings. When not touring, Buffett resides with his wife in a $25 million dollar home in Palm Beach, Florida.
