Now here's something I had forgotten about;

Vin Scelsa was a free form DJ in NYC. I listened almost every Sunday morning and now I'm starting to remember listened to a couple of those Easter shows with Steve.

How about this pic of Steve and Jimmy Bufffett;

Wonderful photo, thanks so much. I believe I've been on that website before, but will recheck it.

So many ironies about Steve and his career.

I'll give you the short version, which I've probably shared somewhere earlier in this thread, or other Goodman threads. I'm a total Goodman nut. Sure wish I could play like him.

Anyway, back in the seventies, before the Margaritaville thing exploded, Buffett was just a broke folksinger. He was so poor, he used to sleep on the sofa in Steve's apartment.

Flash forward forty years, and JB now has a net worth of roughly $200 million. It's my understanding that, after John Prine, Jimmy was Steve's closest friend.

Had he lived, Steve would most likely be a multi-millionaire. He would have had first right of refusal to become Jimmy's bandleader and partner in crime. In fact, Steve was so good he could open the show solo and knock 'em right out of their seats.
