Capt. Tony Tarracino is the living legend immortalized by Jimmy Buffett in his song ""Last Mango In Paris." This video tells Capt. Tony's stories in his own words. Go with Capt. Tony to the Key West waterfront, to Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum, to Duval St, to the shrimp docks, and to the "Top" of Key West. He tells how he cheated and later escaped from the mob in New Jersey and first came to Key West with $10 in his pocket, became a successful charter fishing boat captain by hustling customers, turned a small saloon into one of the most famous bars in the world, ran arms to assist the overthrow of the Cuban government, became an inspiration to artists including Eric Clapton, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Allen Coe, and Jimmy Buffett. He socialized with the like of Walter Cronkite and Muhammad Ali and was elected Mayor of Key West. Tony is living proof of his own words: make every heartbeat count. As the father of 13 children (aged 19-69), Tony has a unique view of women, whether nuns of prostitutes, and a compassion for people that is rarely seen. Included as an extra is a collection of many of Tony's personal photographs of his life in Key West. Approx. 59 minutes.
