If he wants to do covers, I think Hello Old Friend, Eric Clapton, would be cool 
as long as he is singing it in front of me, it's all good!

I agree with you on "Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters--was coming online to post it, but you beat me to it!!!Wino you know wrote:MAYBE we could do a Jimmy Buffett set/wish list again, as we have in years past.
I make one every year, and, yeah, it changes slightly but since people only want him to do HIS OWN songs, maybe that could be another topic for another day.
(If people still like talking about Jimmy Buffett, that is).
AS FOR COVERS, here are a few I wouldn't mind hearing him do:
Under the Boardwalk (Drifters)
Somewhere Near Japan (Beach Boys)
Island Girl (Beach Boys)
Sloop John B (Beach Boys)
Christian Island (Gordon Lightfoot)
Captain Sunshine (Neil Diamond)
Captain Jim's Drunken Dream (James Taylor)
My Corona (Gene Mitchell)
Hey Mr. Lighthouse (Scott Kirby)
Montego Bay (Bobby Bloom)

Glad you got to see him. I haven't seen him since '97. He apparently only comes to Florida to go fishing these days.
Another song by him that I'd like to hear JB do is "Please Don't Bury Me".
Another good choice!

"if" it had to happen I'd like to hear him do Ziggy Marley's Dragonfly
I think the message is right up Jimmy's alley
Also Hank Jr's Montana Cafe.
Lionel Richie's All Night Long would be different.
That song has always made me think of an island party.

You just might get your wish in Atlantic City this Saturday. I'm guessing he may close with this one!murPH wrote:I agree with you on "Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters--was coming online to post it, but you beat me to it!!!Wino you know wrote:MAYBE we could do a Jimmy Buffett set/wish list again, as we have in years past.

I could hear him doing "Mexican Minutes" from Brooks & Dunn

"Down Under" at the Sydney Ent Centre

I agree with SGH!!! She said exactly what I was thinking! I'd like to hear Who's the Blond Stranger! I wonder how long a show would be if Jimmy did ALL of his songs!!?

Man I've played that song at least once a day since getting back from Mexico. It's perfect.Lightning Bolt wrote:

I'll agree 100% with SGH and add That's What Livin' Is To Me.
Now that we've got a little Redemption Song, I'd say Peaceful, Easy Feelin'.

This the other one I was trying to remember on my last post...
Third Rate Romance - Amazing Rhythm Aces
"Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup
He was tryin' to keep his courage up
By applyin' booze"

Some excellent suggestions here...including "play more Buffett."
I like when he does something *really* off the wall - I seem to recall a very tasty rendition of "You Can't Always Get What You Want." And his Y2K rendition of "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" was pretty good.
Beatles songs - "Here Comes the Sun," maybe in a reggae groove the way I like to do it, or "All You Need is Love."
More Beach Boys stuff - any of it would turn out well with a CRB arrangement.
