LOVE the Buffett- Bankie Banks "Stuck in Paradise" from the Buffett Live in Anguilla Cd. This supplements the traditionaly buffett/Toots/bobmarley VERY well.

Thanks for that!! I'm gonna have to wait until Vegas in the fall, but would love to see him at Jazz Fest.

Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash
Hollow Man - The Boat Drunks
Small Boats on Big Oceans - Jack Mosley

I won't even get started on the Buffett or the Marley ... there's way too many to list!!

Also have a CD called "Big Waves - Five Decades of Surf Rock" that's pretty cool too.

Hey there NTL,
Yep I love Stephen too...saw him last year in St Pete. It was a small intimate show and Jr Gong was a guest. I think he sounds the most like his Dad 'tween all them boys.
LOVE da reggae mon

A while back you asked about a song about saltfish. The Mighty Sparrow does one. Don't know if that's the one you heard.

Thanks I have some Mighty Sparrow but not that song.
I will look for it.

Here's what happens to us. I bring my mp3 player, swollen with Buffett tunes. Christine, the other wife in our 2-couple trip, brings here...swollen with country songs.

We fight.

She wins (because she scares me)

I get stuck listening to country music all week.

That leads me to the bottom of a Cruzan bottle
