#1 Come Monday - I was a DJ in an earlier carreer. This was the first Buffett song I played on the radio. It made me go out and buy SYKBH.

#2 Changes - I later found a stash of old records in our house that had belonged to my older brothers and sisters. Made me realize there was more to JB than the yellow album.

#3 Fins - I went to my first Buffett show before I really became a fan. Seeing the audience respond and participate to that song really hooked me!

I wouldn't put any of those songs in my "top 3" today, but I think the certainly led me to where I am today.

I was living in Atco, New Jersey. I had lost my job and moved in with a family I knew and was essentially a handyman for them. I was really depressed about my job and living situation and the fact that I'd just broken up with a girlfriend and just wanted to sit around and mope.

The weather was rainy and gloomy and miserable all day, every day for weeks. It seemed like we'd never see the sun again, so a friend and I would go down to a local bar that had been there since the 30's, complete with the greatest jukebox of old, sad country songs I've ever heard, and drown our sorrows.

I was aware of Buffett's music and even liked what I had heard. In fact, my uncle dragged me off to see Jimmy Buffett at the Alabama State Fair when I was about thirteen and I really enjoyed it.

One day, I was making a tape of songs to listen to while I worked and "Tin Cup Chalice" and "Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season" came up. I listened to them and there was such a sense of peace in those songs about not pulling your hair out over what you can't control, that they immediately struck a chord with me and became my two favorite songs. They pulled me out of my funk and, looking back on it, probably saved my sanity.

After that, I was hooked.

Des and I were working and she sent me home with a tape. I had a 30+ mile drive home. It was Riddles in the sand. After Who's the Blond Stranger, I was hooked...but my FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES is Presents to Send you...Followed by
2-Growing Older but not Up
3- It's my Job...

I'm not a typical SYKBH kinda girl!

The top three songs that made me a Parrothead!? I hadn't thought of a song being able to make me be anything. And since I've been listening to Jimmy since A1A came out, I don't think I can said what song made me a Parrothead. The songs that got me hooked on Jimmy were:
1. Pirate Looks at Forty
2. Ballad of Spider John
3. Something so Feminine about a Mandolin
and then everything else.
