Thanks for posting that. Buffett's background with Hank, Sr.'s music in general and the story about his papers from the shipyard in particular made that a very entertaining read. yea, but then when he said "most of that was made up" in the liner notes, i just laughed out loud. . . .. . bu...

look below , what a good quote!

acording to my avatar, i have oficially "found me a home". . . .cool!

Post # 100!!!

is it kinda that same touristy atomosphere thats in orlando, or more laid back key west style??

I want to be sure everyone sees these polls and has a chance to vote on them. I'm going to let these first two polls run through the weekend. Monday morning, I'll put the top songs from each into a new poll to determine the BN favorite. I'll include Back To The Islands in the final round since it w...

As a whole I really like the album, I think it's great that Jimmy's doing different things - sounds like he had fun on this record. If you're waiting for another version of A1A I think you're going to be waiting for a long time. lol :D , exactly . . . . thats why you take what you get, and just app...

LTC is an awsome album, but truth is truth: it lacks in orignal material. Perhaps the reason there are no songwriting credits (even 80's MCA CDs had those!) is because they didn't want to reveal that the majority of the material here is covers. The fact that most of these songs were orignally recor...

I went to wally world after work and got it and there were two teenagers looking at hip hop in my way of the new release section. I politely said excuse me got my copy and saw another person with one too, did the cordial nod to one another and I headed to checkout. One of the kids mumbled as i left...

Nowdays it seems like it takes Mac to write a truly great "Jimmy Buffett" song That seems to be the case . . . . but atleast somebody's doing it, lol . . . but I think Coastal Confessions was good and that was written by Jimmy . . thats prlly my fav. on the album . . . . . but he's kinda ...

Sea of Heartbreak has a particularly bad lyric, IMO. "I'm like a lost ship, lost on the sea." Of course you're lost on the sea. Where else would you be lost, in the harbor? C'mon flipflops, you remember what Frank Bama once said, "the best navigators are not quite sure where they are...

Sea of Heartbreak is actually a Don Gibson tune and wasn't penned by Buffett. Although my first impression is that I like the record, I also find it a bit overly slick in places. It's definitely a far cry from his best work but we lost that Jimmy Buffett a long time ago. IMHO i think that buffett's...

I don't understand this "best of the other 9" since a favorite couldn't be picked from the first poll because not all songs were listed. This is like saying that I have a b rated #1... If you are going to do a poll, do it right. My favorite is not on either poll, If that is the problem yo...

you can't have 16 items on a poll Rick, thats why we needed to make 2. But its all good, you get to vote twice!

i know that this has been mentioned before, but does anyone think "Back to the Island" as the last track forshadows anything??

i was worried before i heard it ... but it's a solid cd.. i love piece of work and coast of carolina.. and do you think he meant it when he put on his country cd the last song telling us what the next cd will be... back to the islands :wink: not that i dont like country, but I hope so. Buffett and ...

nope, but ill wear mine tommorow!!! ( i wore my rusty pelican key biscayne shirt) . . . . . just out of curiousity, which LTC shirts do u guys have?? i have the off-white one w/ the sailboat and the corona w/ the lime

Nothing like a good, clean, vibrant version of Scarlet Begonias...I was so stoked that he included it on this after I saw it live at the Shark Tank. yea, and it sounds almost exactly as it did live. I think Jimmy does a good job of turning Grateful Dead songs into his own, in a sense. This deff. ha...

DC - thanks again for coming to my rescue on this

No problem FP, my pleasure to help out a fellow parrothead and BNer. . . . . but, i did make one little mistake, and forgot to add Back to the Island . . . is there anyway i can fix this?
