Boats to Build/License to Chill

Goodman · Post by **Goodman** » June 15, 2004 4:42 pm

As others have noted, Jimmy has decided to cover this great Guy Clark tune which most recently (1997) appeared on Jerry Jeff Walker's Cowboy Boots and Bathin Suits. Back in 2002, when Jimmy "crashed' JJW's summer gig at Stephen Talkhouse, Jerry Jeff did the song. Can't tell from the setlist whether JB joined in. When Goodman saw JJW summer 2003 at The Talkhouse, JB declined to appear so I couldn't ask him.

JJW don't take no requests!

I have a copy of that show, I'll listen to it when I get home and let you know if JB joined in on that song.

I'm sorry but you are totally wrong there. I have been to plenty of JJW shows where he took requests. Just this past April in Ft. Worth as a matter of fact.

And I find him most aproachable as well

Are you JJW

Jimmy did sing parts of Boats to Build with JJW that day. That's what first made me think Jimmy would sound great covering it. I can't wait to hear it on LTC - 4 weeks from today!

My mistake- I left out the

. JJW claims he doesn't take requests and officially he doesn't. I have been to see him live on several occasions- recently at BBKings- he broke his own rule.

the key is to very descretely sneek up to the stage and place a note near his feet.

Of course he talks shiat to you when you do

And here I was thinking maybe it was different seeing him in Texas

As long as we are beating this to death. My first time seeing JJW at the Bowery Ballroom in like 2001 he did this song- the only tune from Cowboy Boots he did that nite. Just the other week in NYC in front of BBKings, some tourist asked me if I was JJW. i was wearing a JJW t-shirt at the time.

My first JJW show was at the Bowery Ballroom in 2002. What a dump.

I was at BB King's last month too, blew off a softball game to go to the show.

Yeah he gave the guy who came up twice to request the same song hell. But he played it.

I first saw Scamp in Austin Texas. The old Armadillo World Headquarters back in the 70's.

Would you like to buy a vowel?

I was semi-honored to be mistaken for JJW even if he's got about 14 years on me.

I run a nice, respectable, bitchin post here. If you get too rowdy with your funky pictures and words I'm gonna have to ask my friend Harvey to throw your ass out!

Why didn't JB cover this with JJW on LTC? Seems like it'd be a good fit.

When I first heard that LTC was going to be a lot of duets, my first thought was of a JB and JJW tune. Too bad it didn't happen.

In a similar vein I'd like to hear Buffett and Lyle Lovett duet on "If I Had A Boat" but alas, it didn't make the cut.
