Good evening all and sundry. Tonight we are getting our Hush Puppies on, firing up the blender and cooking up that American creation on which we feed. Yes indeed. Tonight’s highlight entertainer is the one and only…
So with the booze in the blender ready to render that frozen concoction that helps us hang on let us find that lost shaker of salt and get this party started.
FINS UP!
“One Particular Harbour” —
There’s a verse in there where he sounds a bit like John Denver, and I had an epiphany:
Both of those artists write the same kind of poetry, which depends on nice turns of phrase.
Both sing (somewhat) similarly, but have a different “vibe.”
Denver didn’t connote drinking and partying; Buffett does.
Any Jimmy hasn’t crashed his plane yet.
Top photo, not exactly what I’d call a proper military salute….not even close.
Looks like Joe Biden. So maybe he thinks he is doing a proper salute.
It was all good until the silly bastard went country on us in 2003.
I liked Buffet when I was much younger. Saw him at The Auditorium in Chicago in ’77 and he put on a good show. Great venue BTW. His early records are good, particularly “A1A”, but by the time his big hit, “Cheeseburger…”, came out I’d had enough.
Hey, Basil – has Weird Al done Buffet. Seems like a natural for him. Maybe you can put one up tomorrow.
Great ones, thanks for sharing!!
Let me suggest Son of a Son of a Sailor:
