These are people I've heard or read live at least part of the time in our state:

Bruce Springsteen - Wellington
Jimmy Buffet - Palm Beach
Rod Stewart - Palm Beach area
Phil Collins - Miami
Jon Anderson formerly of Yes - Miami
Dickey Betts formerly of the Allman Brothers - Tampa area
Gary Puckett - Sarasota
Rick Derringer - Sarasota

Others I know of who lived here in the recent past until their deaths include Davy Jones of the Monkees, David Cassidy of the Partridge Family, Martin Balin of Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Burt Reynolds and Leslie Nielsen.

Who else? Does anyone famous have a home right here in Our Villages? Has anyone bumped into any of our famous neighbors anywhere in Florida?

Never heard of them!
