I'll concede the talent and songwriting ability are A+ but when it came down to playing with the man (yes Jimmy Buffett) old Paul was AWOL. The date and venue- Back at the Ranch Montauk NY, summer 1994. Goodman was there and clearly Paul wasn't ready to join JB onstage for a few tunes. I'll never fo...

You are correct Cookie (Night Rider's Lament) ?? A reference to the original use of the chuckwagon ?? I really like JJW's cover of "The Cape" as you can probably tell, but I'm not so sure about Django's contribution on the version I have. NIGHT RIDER'S LAMENT by Michael Burton This was fi...

Glad you enjoyed my tale it's all true and not merely semi-true story. Agree that JJW does a nice job covering Clark- "Boats to Build", "LA Freeway" etc. I'd have to say more than just "a nice job" ... JJW's covers of those songs are fantastic! Jimmy's cover of "B...

Still working on TTWWY.

I have been a fan of JJW since hearing 1998's Cowboy Boots so I had to go way back to Viva Terlingua and kinda work my way forward. Always liked London Homesick Blues and how JJW showcased Gary P. Nunn on this important album. Now for years I've heard and understood the line to be "I decided th...

Well JB I guess it's tooodledoo to Toulon. Can't stand the French anyway. I read your story on the official website and the story sounds good to Goodman. I've got lots of pharms in the med bag too, but none to brag about. So let's danse la vie dansent on and start promoting the new album, which I ea...

I've heard lots of Steve lyrics, but don't think I have heard him. I return to the states in Oct. for a week and would like to buy a cd. Last time I looked there were lots of his cds and I don't now enough to determine what to get. What is y'alls recommendation? :pirate: Try "Somebody Else's T...

Amusing to me: I was watching Ingrid and Jim Croce sing Spin Spin Spin and had just watched a bit of Andy Pettitte pitching for the Astros. Gosh they look alike...NO? :wink: :D http://www.musikbase.de/images/groups/Jim-Croce.jpg http://www.aboutface4men.com/images/Andy.jpg http://www.powerforliving...

Croce's style-audience rap no doubt influenced Buffett. To me Croce's best stuff is his sadder stuff. Buffett kissed that material goodbye as it don't play well in the arenas for the most part. Not criticizing JB; just saying that JB went his own way.

9/20/73- Jim Croce passes
9/20/84 Steve Goodman passes

Just think of the music they would have made.

RIP

Vahevala -- Loggins and Messina Jamaica Say You Will-- Jackson Browne Cubbie you are on the money. Check out Tom Rush cover of Jamaica Say. How about Poco's Good Feelin to Know or L&M's Vahevala? btw. imho that Bertie Higgins song is one of the most dredful recordings in the history of recorded...

Hey I love JJW. Seen him twice at the Bowery Ballroom, once at Stephen's Talkhouse and three times at BBKings. Once he brought Django and last time Todd Snider was there. Seems to be the NYC audience unnerves JJW a bit and without the band there it could be Slim Pickens. I may yet go out of respect ...

Make 2/3 foul shots.

NY State of Mind

Bought it with much anticipation, but frankly don't think it can touch it's two predecessors- East Nashville Skyline & New Connection. I'll try giving it another shot but it looks like I've got a year or two to wait for something as good. Granted the two I cite are exceptional. Could be in conce...

g man, i don't suppose while you were in that area, you happened to tune into 107.5 k p i g ? goodman may be on their play list as jimmy is. and if not, you probably could have called in and requested him. they probably would have got to it at some point. sorry i missed you. i am in san jose "...

Went to see my relations and friends in the Santa Cruz/Watsonville section of California. Even got to San Francisco but didn't get to reride the Bullitt chase route. Route 17 is close. While in Santa Cruz the street musicians were a plenty. Heard the strains of City of New Orleans. Asked the guitari...

We saw Jerry Jeff & Todd Snider @ BB Kings in NYC back in March. Great show by both. Jerry did not seem real pleased by the chatter & people yelling out requests. He even made a comment about it. I'd say a must see show nonetheless. I think you , me and LIPH was there. I was the only one to...

Did anyone go to the Jerry Jeff Walker concert in Alexandria, VA.? If so...how was it? I've never seem him live. I'll be seeing him for the first time in Key West. I can't wait. Phin :pirate: Jerry Jeff don't take no requests unless you are a nice looking lady or the song in question moves him. :-)
