Scarlet Begonias rocks...

Isn't it already listed on the course curriculum of Buffett 101??

Sorry to see the song in your sig line (and screen name) out in the first rd., but Coconut Telegraph was a tough matchup.

s'all right..a sentimental fave (and those Texas mice and racoons really exist and they DO bring you wine and cheese and
saltines) .
I do love CT too - so not too bummed really - "this is hard- really hard" - BUT
me thinks we can or will meet in Tinley / Chicago???? Lived and worked in TP / Chicago for many years.......can't wait to hit my old haunts and meet some new ph phriends...

why, oh why, couldn't they have put SB up against M'ville first round.. this is one song I could have probably dealt with as an instrumental for the band to show off their talents, but from the first time I heard Jimmy slurring it out after a bottle of tequila and 3 straws when they finished LTC to now.. it is a bathroom/beer/something/anything run during SB.
