On Tuesday, Jimmy Buffett flew to earthquake-stricken Haiti, filling his airplane with tents for some of the millions of Haitians that are now homeless:

Jimmy Buffett may sing about “Surfing in a Hurricane,” but cruising through Haiti’s earthquake-ravaged capital nearly left the singer without words.

“It’s like it was bombed,” the singer told The Associated Press after touring the ravaged country’s capital.

Buffett loaded his seaplane with tents for some of the 1.2 million Haitians who lost their homes and set a course for the Caribbean nation on Tuesday.

The singer is a lover of Haitian music who has his own room named after him at the famed Hotel Oloffson.

“Haiti’s something worth saving to me,” he said.

He was convinced to make his first visit to Haiti since 1994 because of the needs of so many after the magnitude-7 quake struck on Jan. 12. On Tuesday, he was escorted by U.S. Embassy security personnel past downtown and the destroyed national cathedral.

Shortly after the quake struck, Buffett recorded a video message asking his fans to help out by donating to the relief effort.

According to the Indy Star, Jimmy Buffett will play a private show for an NFL owners’ party this weekend:

Indianapolis’ Tom Battista is making his way to South Florida this week, but not to watch the Super Bowl.

Battista, who has been Jimmy Buffett’s stage manager for 17 years, is organizing a small 60- to 90-minute show for an NFL owners’ private party. Some of the owners apparently are Parrotheads.

Saturday’s show and soiree, which includes Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, is to take place at the luxury resort Viceroy Miami, which is located in a spot billed as “Miami’s Wall Street of the Americas.”

“It’s a really swank hotel,” said Battista, who couldn’t say which songs Buffett would perform before today’s sound check. “Until we do sound check, we won’t really know.”

About 300 people are expected.

Jimmy will be at the Viceroy Hotel on Saturday for a charity event.
