Rich, good score. I love that album.
Oh yes, 8-tracks. I used to own several of them until I played the life out of them, and the tapes would wear out. You were the coolest kid on the block when you got a portable 8-track player and you could bring it to school cranking it up full blast at recess. Once those 8-track players died and could no longer move smoothly from track to track that was all she wrote.

And that didn't JUST happen with the free 8 track decks from Columbia House either.

There was one nice thing about 8 tracks though, once you learned how the songs lined up, you could hear something on track one and know that at the end of it you would click over to track 4 to hear the beginning of the next great song and so forth jumping from track to track.
I suspect that in one of the dusty boxes in the basement there are few 8 track tapes, but no working player.

Is that a good score? Song list looks good.
I have to know. Have you only listened on Radio Margaritaville up until now? Have you snatched the songs off of Napster, Kazaa, Limewire or Torrent? Have people bought the music for you? I'm just curious. Feel free to plead the 5th.

My first was the box set, also on cassette. I don't know if that made me overconfident (since I bought the most expensive album available when I only knew three or four of his songs) or overcautious (since I bought the cheap version of the expensive album).
My first non-collection album was
Barometer Soup - I was hooked in time for
Fruitcakes but for some reason I didn't get around to buying it until much later.

A few years ago I listened to Radio Marg for a maybe four months, then he came to Orange County to play a show, and I went. I used to do Grateful Dead tour and know that live music can capture some magic that is not on studio recordings. I feel this way about JB as well. I had a real good time at the show, so I have been going back ever since. I really only knew a few of his songs when I went to my first show, but was surprised to hear what I heard. I knew a lot of the music played.
Also, being a Deadhead and an old tape trader, I have never downloaded any music from the internet.
I think someone gave me a Jimmy Buffett CD a two or three years ago after finding out I was a fan. I think I have listened to it once.

A-1-A to be precise. Nothing like shoving matchbooks under the tape to get it positioned just right in the car's player .... otherwise there was track 1's Door Number Three bleedin' right into track 4's A Pirate Looks At Forty.
