from "Sing Along with Brad's" Li'l Studio. A 1997 demo of 1979's "Volcano." Tribute to Jimmy Buffett

Hi Everyone,
Here's a little basement .. multi-track, "unplugged" demo recording from 1997.
(Of a song - released in 1979.)
I post it today. In tribute to Jimmy Buffett. Who has sadly left us.

The lyrics describe the narrator's anxiety about his possible whereabouts ..
following the impending eruption of a volcano.
The bridge before the final chorus mentions a number of places.
Some important .. largely in the context of 1979:

"But I don't want to land in New York City,
I don't want to land in Mexico.
I don't want to land on no Three Mile Island,
I don't want to see my skin a-glow."

" Don't want to land in Comanche Skypark,
or in Nashville, Tennessee.
I don't want to land in no San Juan Airport
or the Yukon Territory."

"Don't want to land in no San Diego.
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay.
I don't want to land on no Ayatollah."

"I got nothin' more to say."

Jimmy called his music 'drunken Caribbean rock 'n' roll.'
"It's pure escapism. That's all.
I'm not the first one to do it. Nor shall I be the last.
But I think it's really a part of the human condition - that you've got to have some fun.
You've got to get away from whatever you do to make a living ..
or other parts of life that stress you out.
I try to make it 'fun to work.' And so far - it's worked out." - Jimmy Buffett
