"Jukebox Bay" by Waverland has some great rhythm, lyrics and harmonies. Got turned on to this band from a fellow BNer. Enjoy!

For us Miramartians, we have Blue Lew who wrote and performs our local anthem, "The Neighborhood Song". If you have ever been to Cabana Cafe, Theo's Pizza or Stinky's Fish Camp, you may have had the chance to hear Lew and his band perform....

a few of my faves:
Island Daze - Jim Morris
The Good Life's Begun - Bill Crews
Caribbean - Hank Snow
Mexican Minutes - Brooks and Dunn (I found myself singing this a lot while vacationing there)

Voila, An American Dream is great. I'm partial to Guy Clark's version.
The song was written by Rodney Crowell and his version aint bad either

Jimmy would totally do this song proud as a cover.




even better version (with Linda Ronstadt)

Jimmy was once quoted as saying that a lot of people used to ask him if that *was* his song.
