I say the more live cuts, the better. But then, I listen to RM a lot... have to agree with the folks who say too many of the SAME live songs. JB's got nearly his entire career recorded. Let's whip out some more of the ballads, and the songs that only get played ever few years. Just once in awhile. P...

Agreed

For uptempo, Lage Nom Ai has to edge out the aforementioned other tracks. But for classic JB romantic nostalgia, I'd say the best song on BS would have to be BLUE HEAVEN RENDEZVOUS.

Is this the end?

I've read or heard, on more than one occasion, JB say that he'll keep touring until he needs a TelePromptEr, like Sinatra did at the end..
then, it's time to hang it up.
Has it really come to this?

Growing older but not less greedy...

So now Jimmy's "paring" down the horn section? What gives? Does he really need to save the extra few grand on two horn players?? Why not write some new arrangements, spice things up a little, rather than strip down the sound? And the ultimate eye candy, Heather Dean Perry, is now gone as w...

Mini mart conspiracy

I'd heard Jimmy a few years back in a radio interview with Jonathon Brandmeier here in chicago say that he never did pay the mini mart back, that the statute of limitations had run out, so he wasn't worried about it.

Marga'ville Shrimp n Tequila

Perhaps he drinks his own branded swill at times, but I have it on good authority that while in chicago the last couple of years when shooting mexican firewater, it's been cuervo 1800, despite the fact that M'Ville was available at the bar.... Those island lime shrimp aren't too bad, though. Pretty ...

city of nola, or banana republics...

I agree that the bleacher bum cover of City of New Orleans was a neat moment in the show, but for me, the most poignant moment of the sunday Wrigley Show was JB doing Banana Republics, after talking about Steve Goodman and acknowledging that his family was in the crowd. It really seemed like, for a ...
