USVI-On-Line

Ok, so here in Michigan it has warmed up a bit, but it is still Michigan in February. I'm looking for some pick me up music. When you want to be reminded of St. John what do you listen to? Do you have a St. John playlist?

I'll start with something obvious.

1. Nowhere to Go, Nowhere to be, Kenny Chesney

I'll see your obvious, and raise you to more obvious-
Innervisions.

"Some Particular Harbor" by Jimmy Buffett.

I have just that playlist but rather than bore you with the whole list, here are a couple:
Knee Deep - Zac Brown w/ Jimmy Buffett
Coastal - Kenny
Mas Tequila - Sammy Hagar

More obvious:

Where the Boat Leaves From -- Zac Brown Band
Be As You Are -- Kenny Chesney
Back To The Island -- Leon Russell (though several others have recorded this one, as well)

Into Yesterday - Sugar Ray
From the greatest surf movie ever. Surfs up

Few more-
Most songs by Sade, Dick Dale,maybe some assorted disco- like from the Boogie Nights soundtrack, Girl From Ipanema is swanky, any of those Putumayo cd's...

I have an ipod playlist with about 37 songs that I use. Some have already been listed. In the interest of adding something new I will raise you:

Come Away With Me -- Norah Jones

Southern Cross -- Crosby Stills & NAsh

On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful -- Kenny Chesney

"Tall and Tan and Young and Lovely" I thought I was the only one corny enough to like that song

Maho Jim, you are too smoothe. Sade? Out of my league cool.

I have to stick with a playlist of Jimmy Buffet doing various covers. My personal favorite is when he does Scarlette Begonias by the Grateful Dead or Lawyers, Guns and Money by Zevon. It always get me ready for an afternoon of post beach/hard drinkin at the Island Blues.

some of my "chill" mix

Gypsy Kings - My Way
Bankie Banx - Busted in Barbados
KC - Key Lime Pie
Bob Marley - Three Little Birds
Daniel Mustard - Impulse to My Addiction
Citizen Cope - Sons Gonna Rise

"Wicked Sexy Fun Groove" type music is what I'm into on vaca.
David Gray's "Sail Away With Me" is another chill jam.- also can't help but agree with Norah Jones. Yummy & sultry villa jam music.Love America, too.
Everything from Bob Marley to Andy Gibb. I'm down!
How about Jerry Lewis' version of "Witchcraft"? Anyone ever hear that one? Or better yet, Joe Pesci does a "Rat-Pack" type song behind the name of Vincent La Guardia Gambini,- Something along the lines of "Take all your love for me, and shove it up your a$$" Funny stuff, and somehow still holding a Casablanca feel...(ok, maybe not for the kids, nor vaca, but still funny...)
Could be me...
