Cuban Crime. Just barely over Railroad Lady. The beat is intoxicating. It will make me dance in my car when it comes on.

Love "He went to Paris", but I really prefer "They Don't Dance Like Carmen". I can listen to that one continuously.

Absolutely He Went to Paris. One of the best songs Jimmy ever wrote. I never get tired of hearing this one. Always remember Jimmy ending PNC concert in Pittsburgh with this one. Best ending I ever saw.

He Went To Paris is great and one of my favorites, but i do get bored of it. My Lovely Lady is a song that I can listen to over and over again. up very high on my all favorite list...hoping to hear it in vegas 8)
If I had it all to do over again, I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in...

"I Have Found Me a Home"


In 1995, my only sister, and best friend, passed away. She was only 38.

She had moved to Fernandina a few months after I did....we had always lived close to one another....She fell in love with the island as much as I did...and said it, not Charleston , would always remain "home" to her....and she loved this song.

When she died...we had a celebration of her life.....and all she loved.

This is the song that was played.....and also another friend of ours played it for us later, at the beach...when we took her ashes down there..

We flew in a bi plane...3 of us. The pilot, her widower, and me....

Another small plane flew ahead of us with a banner saying "We Love You, Fran"...

He did two flyovers first.....

and it was our turn and we were throwing her ashes out of the plane over her favorite spot on the beach.....

There was a group of our friends on the shore, and a minister doing a reading...

It had been raining earlier in the day....

As we put her out to Sea....the other pilot said they were in vortex, under the wing of the biplane, and just circled for a while before falling to sea...

A double rainbow came out....and I looked down at the water...and there were over 20 dolphins jumping in the spot right below us.....My daughter was 9 at the time, and she was right at the waters edge....She saw this and ran to the other people and said.....

"Y'all! Come Quick! The dolphins have come to greet Aunt Fran!"

It was amazing and so right.....

The Rainbows...and the Ocean...The dolphins....and Fran.

I miss you Frannie....

all the time.



and THAT is why that is my favorite song on the album...

So many choices! I had to vote for Carmen since that is who my daughter is named after. :)
