In addition to that, I'd ask how it makes him feel to know that he has touched so many lives and created not only a following, but a way of life for so many people.

I'd also ask him why he doesn't play at Merriweather anymore.
I think you should ask Jimmy this:

Then the salesman realizes that he made a mistake and the TV only costs $25, so he gives each woman $1 back (so they each now have paid $9) and they let him keep the other $2 since he was honest. But if each woman paid $9 ($9x3=$27) and he kept $2 ($27+$2=$29), what happened to the other dollar?

Didn't think to put that one here.

I tried to edit down the quote for this post and I felt like my brain was about to cramp, so I left it alone.

"When you write a song, does it go to album or are they pocketed as potential for future albums?" and as a follow-up "What's pocketed right now?"

"Are there any songs you've done that you wish you could do over?" (We know about 'Saxaphones' and other assorted song versions.)

"Are there any songs you've passed on that you wished you'd have done?"

"Which songs "tanked" that you thought would be BIG?"

"Which songs suprised you with their popularity?"

"Ya still hav'n fun?" :D

Like all of us who would have been put in the situation he is in.... I am sure Keith would like to maintain a non crazed fan image when he meets Mr Buffett. We all would. Who wants Jimmy thinking we are completly star struck?

That said...Keith... you enjoy your time with Jimmy... Coleman, Wendy...various BN'rs and the delightful people of Anguilla. If Jimmy happens to mention BN...tell him we all said hi!! If not... no worries... we'll still be here waiting to hear every detail!

Ask him if he remembers me.
I waved at him in Charlotte back in '88 - and he waved back. We "kinda" became best friends.
Ask him what he has been up to since that time. Is he still singing?..does he still like boats..and planes?
He is obviously going to ask how I am doing, so please also tell him I am going through a rough spot right now.
I have mortgaged my meager home, fairly certain I have mad cow, found out from another BN member that I should keep an eye on my sister a little better.
what else........... I found out that maryjane jokes linked to judges and James Taylor are not funny to all that read them.
Hmmm..whatelse......
I guess I need to tell him some good things that are going on too so he doesnt worry about me.
Please tell him I am now in "dude" rehab. Member #69 of the Eastern Branch.
And please tell him I met the queen.

Um, this is all I came up with for now...

Are there any plans to release the songs that never made it onto any CDS?

If you had a chance to work with any other performer, that you haven't already performed with, who would it be and why?

Edit: One more just came to mind...

Are there any songs you've never played in concert but always wanted to?

That was a pure strategy move by the marketing genius.

In this day of online music and web searches, he just made himself very accessable to a large and loyal fanbase who will see his version wherever they search "Tripping Billies". They may hear his cover, and by that be introduced to a whole new strain of music they may have never heard before.

Excellent idea.
