Ahh my fist laugh for today, thanks!

For me, not in any particular order:

-The Boxer
-Amie (w/falling in and out of love)
-If you could read my mind
-I miss Mary
-Time of your Life (Good Riddance)
-House at Pooh Corner
-Garden Party
-Let it Be
-You can close your eyes
-Peace Train (although I still need work on this one, errr... aahh... more work than I need on the others :) )

Mark, how about:

Roller Derby Queen
Speedball Tucker
Lover's Cross (on the DVD I have, this song best represents the kind of tone I'm looking for in a guitar)

The first 2, Leroy Brown and Don't Mess Around with Jim, are songs of his that I have no intention of learning. I just don't really like them. I like the guitar in Lover's Cross, but my Huttlinger dvd has another song with Dream something or other that I was learning and I've Got a Name, that I need to learn. I've Got a Name has an alternate tuning and I never seem to get around to those.

There's a song he did called "Age" that I used to do in a band I was in about a hundred years ago. Great lyrics!

Love your list, especially these three! Ya don't hear 'em very often any more.

I can't believe I didn't have "Rock Me on..." in my library. Great song.

Now I need to find a valid tab. I'm having trouble in playing along with the vids...

Make that three. Similarly, I also thought at the time whoever that was doing "Piano Man" wouldn't be back.

I believe that both of those songs were meant to be Funny?

Not really to be taken as Topical or Heartfelt expressions of his innermost feelings. Y'know?

Yes, "I Got a Name" is a great song. I like a lot of Jim's stuff, but I'm finding that I like his "barroom" stuff more than anything else.

Thanks!

The one vid I found of Jackson Browne doing "Rock Me on the Water" was from a "Soundstage" performance. However, the video and audio were out of sync, and it looked like a bad Chinese movie! The song is still powerful, IMHO.

Johnnie Rivers has a cool version of "Rock Me on the Water", but I don't think there is a video of that song.

He had a whole lot of funny stuff that I thought was better, "Workin' at the Carwash Blues" and "Roller Derby Queen" to name two.

I also like Speedball Tucker. I love the line "Driver have you been blind? 95 is the route you were on, not a speed limit sign!" That line made me laugh.

At first I didn't like it because of the weird little lead he put in there.

But then I realized that he was probably trying to give everyone an audio version of a "west coast turnaround" in the same way he gave an audio version of sands running through an hourglass like he did in the ending of "Time in a Bottle."

In a way, the ending of "Time in a Bottle" kind of creeps me out. Just reminds me of how sudden Jim and Maury's lives were cut short in an instant.
