Tony Tarracino was a womanizing bastard of a dirty old man...but he made no excuses for that. And there's something to be said for that. He was a true pirate in an age that frowns upon such things in general, but he somehow managed to find his home, like so many of us, in Margaritaville.
Interestingly enough, Meeting of the Minds is going on right now, and when Key West lost its lifetime mayor, the streets became one giant wake by all accounts.
Tears were shed, but many more glasses were raised, and most believe the long-term resident ghost of Captain Tony's Saloon got some company.

Yep, that sounds about right.
Cheers, mate.
