2347  From Jimmy Buffett - 'Fins', 'Son of a Sailor', TC, "that's about it now", 'A Pirate Looks at Forty', bit of 'Margaritaville', TC with"Thank you again.  Thank you again."  'Banana Wind', 'Jamaica Mistiaca', "Cluck, cluck, cluck." tells about the last song being a true story, "cluck, cluck, cluck.  You've got Thunder Chicken here." Although conditions are tough, he's staying for a while.  Into Jethro Tull - 'Nothing's Easy', 'Love Story', Beggar's Farm', Living in the Past.

S8,  Mostly good audio.  Fairly quiet conditions right now.
