Anyone know why this was completely left out of ALL shows on this past year's tour?? Seems odd that it was never played anywhere since the tour was based on the book's name, and this was the main song from it. (I know he did play it once on a talk show (Today?)) Was there a legal issue? Bizarre.....

It does seem very odd and I don't think you are the first person to pose this question. I only wish I had an answer.

now people, perhaps our guitar loving friend Les Paul is correct in his spelling and the REST of the English speaking world is wrong. Who thought about that? Huh?

He played it when he was on the Today Show just about this time last year plugging the book. He also played it at the Coastal Confessions thing in New Orleans last December.

You can't get a piece without pie.

Is that what I've been doing wrong?

Believe it or not, I have yet to hear the song. I think a cd was included with the hardback, but since I'm cheap I waited for the paperback.

By the way, the book was good. I still think Tales from M'ville is his best work to date.

They play it every once in a while on Radio Margaritaville. That's where I heard it first then I got the book and it had thecd. It's awesome! It's one of my fave songs! :) :)
