Re: Louie's Backyard

My buddy and I sat at the bar once and a local was busting our balls about the way we were dressed. As we were leaving he yelled out "wear some louder shirts next time". I guess we did not fit in there. I usually give a place a second chance but I did not like the "pinky up" vib...

Re: Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks

They're a great band.

I know one of the "Lickettes" - the redhead. :) She produced my second album, and is also a songwriter and jazz singer in her own right - Roberta Donnay. Very talented.

Re: Favorite island themed song or songs (not by Jimmy)

Does the theme song from Gilligan's Island count? Anyone ever hear "Stairway to Gilligan's Island," by Little Roger and the Goosebumps? The music is "Stairway to Heaven." The lyrics are "Gilligan's Island." It's one of those things that you either love, or it makes you...

Jimmy would totally do this song proud as a cover.

Re: I need to write a song

Most of the songwriters I know say that songs just come to them and then they work on them. One friend of mine took two years to work on one song. After she reached the point that she said it was good enough, I asked how much of it was the same as at the beginning. She grinned at me and said "...

Re: Early Versions Of Margaritaville

I remember hearing a concert on RM some years back in which there was an alternate "lost verse" that began, "My favorite topic is life in the tropics." I'd love to know what the rest of that verse is. I've written my own version, but it'd be cool to know what Jimmy really sang.
