I can add Banana Wind to my collection now, picked it up earlier today.

After listening to this album 1,000 times over on the net, I decided to stop

wasting time so I went out and bought it. The album is awesome overall,

whole bunch of great tunes. The title track was a suprise to me, thought

their would be lyrics to this song but that's alright, I can handle an

instrumental.

My sister walked down the aisle (as in wedding aisle) for the second of her three unsuccessful marriages. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

YEA, nothing wrong with an instrumental

So how many do you have now HavanaMatt?

As of right now I have 5, Songs You Know By Heart, Changes in Latitudes.

License to Chill, Coconut Telegraph and Banana Wind.

My next suggestion is Floridays

Hmmm??? I thought SG77 would have more than that

The first time I went to Key West, I stayed at the Grand Hyatt. The ONLY thing they played all day at "Scuttles"(the pool bar) was "Bananna Wind". Seriously...it was on a 24 hour loop. I had absolutely no idea it was a Jimmy song until I bought the album.

As if I need more reason, BW always makes me think of my first time in Key West.

I see your in the Garden State... here's your problem... ya gotta move South... it's been in the upper 60's - low 70's here for the last week

Banana Wind may be my favorite regular album by Buffett. I love the hits and live CDs the most, but this one is a great one. I bought it one spring and popped it into the CD player on the way to my Mayterm class one year. I was living at home and commuting about 35 minutes back and forth each day. The CD did not come out of the player the whole 3 weeks, and that's what got me through that summer-time class. I love it! Each track is so good, one right after the other! When I was at the Cincinnati Zoo last summer, they had a manatee exhibit. Banana Wind (song) played continuously over the house speakers the whole time. The workers didn't even know what it was, but I knew! Enjoy this great album, its a classic!

I don't know 'bout the Garden State, but it's been colder than

I highly recommend FLORIDAYS
In my oppion, it is one of his best

I love Floridays. My favs are Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More and No Plane On Sunday. Highly recommend

Banan Wind was an excellent choice ... a very good CD. Floridays would be another good choice ... both are high on my list but ......... I would suggest maybe a live album ... 'You Had To Be There' would top the list there.

Depending on which way you want to go....new or old.

New(er)....I'd say go with Barometer Soup or Fruitcakes.

Older....Floridays or A1A. Either way you can't go wrong.

From what I'm hearing, Floridays is a good album. I haven't listened to

that one much on the net but I think I'll start. I'm going by what my local

Borders has, next up will be OPH, 3/4's Time, and Fruitcakes. Floridays

and the rest on my list I'm gonna have to order. I'll be doing plenty of

Buffett buying come summer, no doubt.

Banana Wind was the first CD I bought of Buffett's. I already had SYKBH. You better watch out because this leads to an obsession....
