<sigh>, I guess I just like too many Buffett tunes. These picks are getting incredibly hard for me because I like most of'em but for different reasons.

This is the toughest vote for me; esp if Jake is playing on DS. Reading the discussion threads during the concert, some got upset with the length of the intro, but the listening to him play, and watching how fast his fingers fly, and WONDERING WHERE HE'LL GO NEXT as he weaves melodies into the music...

Then you have SBH.. a favorite since the first time I heard it. It's just too tough to call.

This one should be an overtime classic.
Indecision may or may not be my problem

I was never crazy about DS until this past summer with all that Jake did with it, but as a song in and of itself, not so much.

So, SBH for me!

Gotta go with SBH even though I love DS too. But SBH will always remind me of the first BNer I ever met...one with a license to fly. :D

DS is a PARROTHEAD song. i'm so glad he brought it back into the set list, because it is a perfect party song. SBH is al right, but i don't listened to it at all. Its kind of annoying.
