I live in the area in Montana where Buffett used to hang out. The song about Ringling, Montana (Ringling, Ringling, slippin' away) is true to life. My mother was raised on homesteads, and at one time the family lived near Ringling, while my grandmother was camp cook for the Ranch there. The Ringling brothers circus horses were there, and that is how the town got its name. There is now a band called the Ringling Five (or six, or seven) made up of cowboy musicians who do a great job of comedy/music, writing original lyrics and performing at fairs and other events in the area.
