Introductions to songs on live albums...
Do you think Jimmy realizes that he refers to almost every song on his live albums as "a little song"?
He has been doing it since "You had to be there" and continues to the present. I always thought this was odd.
Surely he must have some "big songs".

My theory is, especially on his bigger hits, he is being sarcastic when he says that the song is a "little song."Travis McGee wrote:Do you think Jimmy realizes that he refers to almost every song on his live albums as "a little song"?

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

It's more of an implication that it took him 3 minutes to write.

Re: Introductions to songs on live albums...
I'm listening to some live favorites in the minivan these days (THANKS jokelben) and I love the way he says "Well" before going into the song intros. It's just funny if I'm skipping ahead to a particular song ... Well, well, well.

Anything that only takes 3 minutes from start to finish is a "little thing".

Re: Introductions to songs on live albums...
he also says "alright" pretty frequently after a song is done and before introducing the next song
"I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me moving around
Like the wind that blows, tides that flow
I have my ups and downs"

Too funny....my husband and I have noticed this for awhile...especially in concerts. We get a big chuckle every time he says that.

I've always wondered which Jackson Browne album it was that inspired "Perrier Blues".
