    Chances are you’re familiar with Songs From St. Somewhere. The album came in as the 28th studio album from American icon Jimmy Buffett. One of the best songs on the album, too, is Mark Knopfler’s “Oldest Surfer on the Beach”. Knopfler plays guitar for the track, but Buffet’s age’d voice lends the perfect beachside gravitas his lyrics require. RIP

    Some guitar , I couldn;t get a lap steel part, guess you need a pedal steel ( too expensive and hard ) or palm benders ( pricey and hard to install ) Bar slants or string pulls behind the bar ( c'mon I;m just a hacker ) so i added some effect drenched tele- bends, ( mix 'em low and they sorta work ) as always can re-do if ya like.

    Hey Steve...two fantastic tracks, you gave then the special SteveD edge. Really pleased and amazed with your playing. I made some mild adjustments on the mix and thinking I got it right. You put the finishing touch on this Buffett tune. I consider this one complete, but will wait a week and revisit for the final mix to complete. Thanks again...I know this stuff takes some time and overcoming a few technical issues !

    @hector : Rick and I are setting up these collab to celebrate the life of Jimmy Buffett. His last single before his passing, Bubbles Up, I'm planning to do soon.
