please  ok

[smash29]

After being a Parrothead for 15+ years I'm stunned that I could miss out on such an awesome song for as long as I have...

[nc2kw]

A highly unappreciated song from a highly unappreciated album, "Last Mango. " I see the late 80's as a kind of lost years from Jimmy's music. People do not seem to remember this music and Jimmy does not play too many of the songs from this perdiod at his concerts with a couple of exceptions. While I love his 70's tunes the best there are some real keepers written during this period and this song is one.

@nc2kw

amen. i remember hearing this song on the radio in 85, along with sunset grill from a solo don henley, and i want my mtv . i liked whos the blonde stranger when i heard it in concert, but he never put it on any of the live albums.

[Ridgebackdown]

If the phone rings its me.

You have like a $3000.00 bar tab in St. Barts.

[dragonfly24k]

yep,i'ts me !

[probinson1337]

It was A1A that threw me under the bus to parrotland forever

[striker1781]

great song

[mobegone]

"I've had good days and bad days and going half mad days"....only Jimmie could write that lyric. I was at that concert at the Miamarena on a boat in Biscayne Bay. Weird times...glad the DEA agents kept a low profile....fun to relive that night thanks to your posts...much appreciated

[bushhater99]

i always liked this song but he never plays it in concert, even though it got more airplay than a lot of his other songs. also, he seems to have ignored "whos the blonde stranger." i dont even like "fins" but he always plays that. i totally never knew timothy schmidt toured with him, let alone coined parrotheads. boy, with youtube and wkipedia, ive learned more than you could get from reading every past issue of rolling stone, even if they hadnt turned it into "rolling rapper ass kisser"

[spencermon]

This is the Buffett we ALL love!!! Where is Josh Leo!!!!

[MrDanBlather]

Louisville Kentucky Parrot Head right here.

[eldridgebeaver]

White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustaceon hooked me.

[glholland47]

I love this one and every other JB song....Been a fan since the 70s!!!

[GatorsNation]

Big Parrothead myself. I love everything about this guy, and his love for adventure with planes and boats influenced my decision to start flying. Gotta say Jamaica Mistaica's my favorite though, but like you, I love em all. I'm sure you have made it to Key West if you have been a fan since the 70's. Ahhhhh, how I just wish I could get on a boat there in the keys while tossin back the buffalo shrimp and Landsharks while takin in a stogie there at Schooner's Wharf.

[DrAgOnFoRcE1547]

In my opinion, it kind of ruins the song when he says something uplifting for a sad song. It should be portrayed in the mood that it gives off.

[GatorGirlInTn]

One of my all-time Buffett favs. It says so much!

[rangerstrider27]

There are oceans of feelings between us...

currents that take us and sweep us away........

[apsannah]

This is my ringtone - makes me smile everytime i get a call!!

[jimbokibs]

Read the article about the Eagles in Rolling Stone from last fall, and you'll see that Timothy had that exact quote about whoring himself out after the Eagles broke up. I was kinda pissed about that comment because I think he did some great work for Buffett and Fogelberg, among others. As most people know, it was Timothy who coined the term "parrotheads".

[uaw2195]

That is Josh Leo in the overalls.

[aunttt1986]

He Lost His Suit Case....... LOL

[sc9stl]

gee, seems like poco had a real talented picker named timothy b. schmidt, pre-eagles! do you supose they could be related? i kid. sings like a spirit, check 'seven bridges road'

[molly195957]

Thank God Jimmy was the one had credit at the music store!

[top6700]

One of Jimmy B's best ever, great song, great concert video--was one of his best album's too.

[jblcva]

Great song

[mobegone]

I was at that concert....drunk as a skunk in a boat on Biscayne Bay...thanks for the memories...Jimmy's the best

[LadODell]

With Jimmy the sun always shines. Keep it going Jimmy.

[chowdercartoon96]

That's Timothy Schmit (Eagles) with short hair at 3:52. Tim was whorin' himself out back in the early 80's after Eagles broke up!!

[blueskydog]

Timothy B. Schmit never had to whore himself out after the Eagles sabbatical started. Actually he was very good friends with Jimmy and they were all managed by Irving Azoff This was the best gig around at the time and Irving suggested it was a good fit. Interesting how Timothy seems to enjoy his work so much here. I know, I was there that night in Miami, as I have been for the last 35 years. Jimmy is my Mississippi brother from another Mother...

[UGADawg2550]

is that mac in the overalls?

[alienhuman]

[langarth]

[EmergencyIan]
