I hereby promise I will NEVER threaten or shoot anyone for playing my recording (or not)

My experience has been that there are so many good, deserving artists out there who go un noticed, and some real crap that gets recorded, I am now a believer in pure dumb luck

Amen

>>You Had To Be There is vintage live Buffett before the crass commercialism and the Parrothead phenomenon set in.<<

what do you mean sell it? They can perform it all they want (live)for free! And if Kenny Chesney (or Zac Brown) gets to it before Jimmy, well that's the way it is...)

Loren - no offense taken - may not change anything, but I'll give it another look/listen

Just a thought....I have a song that I believe is a Buffett gem (along the lines of lic to chill) I agree - the chances of JB even seeing it (any proposed song)are really slim....so We made a video and posted on You tube - ya never know

It is not looking good for NC my friends.....

I understand why they were left off originally - probably "Cheesburger" because the studio version was currently out...and you couldn't have a 3 record live lbum....I speculate that they are not good recordings because if there were great, they would have re surfaced somewhere....

That is a shame - would love to hear them. They must be terrible recordings, or surely they would have surfaced by now?

You Had to be there was recorded in Atlanta and Florida (77-78?) Several more songs from these concerts didn't make the record...have they ever shown up somewhere? Cheesburger was one of them because it was just being released about that time...

This was recoreded in Atlanta and Florida...several more songs from these concerts didn't make the record...have they ever shown up somewhere? Cheesburger was one of them because it was just being released about that time

I saw them on Austin City Limits a while back - pretty darn good

Thanks! I read that thread....

I was hoping for a little detail.... a little more than 20 messages saying congratulations....

Whose records did he play on this year? Was that award for his record?, etc I do wish they would have let him play on the air...

Love to hear about it, if anyone knows.

Was there a discussion about Mac McAnally 2009 CMA Musician of the Year ? whose records did he play on this year?

No question about it - You Had to Be There...I go way back with JB - I am an A1A devotee... I worked security at an Elon College JB show in early 1977..am a big fan....but anything other than YHTBT....misses the spirit.....even though some of my favorites are not on there....and I will further say.....

Worst - Son of a son...
Best A1A (not just the cover - the total art package)

I hear ya....They only let me have 14 chpoices - and I thought that was tough....

Your Favorite Acoustic JB Song (from any album) but one that be reasonably done acoustically - you CAN perform Fool Button acoustically- but that would kill it.....so what do you think? As a bonus (tough choices) you can pick 2!

Charleston is great....lots to do, see and eat......I love it....that said, it is very hot, muggy and buggy in the summer when you are away from the beach.... 4 pm thunderstorms many days...then a bit cooler but more humid....

Anyone know where I could find the 1989(+/-) show@Wake Forest (Winston Salem) with Little Feat? MY memory says it was awesome (but I am a little foggy on some of the details)

Are lawn tickets still available? I was gonna be out of town but that may be changing....
