Key West is an beautiful and incredible location and all incredible locations get exploited. Even if someone isn't writing songs about it. Yeah I am, I got hate and bash him for some damn reason! :wink: His songs more than any one thing directly told and sold folks on this island. :P :cry: :lol: :cry: :P Seriously though (and I think too many think I am being totally serious when I am quite often being a bit tongue and cheeky) I had a middle aged guy just last night roll down his window and ask me in my cab "Do you know where Margaritaville is?". He didn't want actually directions to the bar and restaurant, he meant it figuratively, as in 'where is that lost shaker of salt'. I told him no I didn't, but I could find Bali Hai for him. Then I went into a verse from South Pacific. :lol: :wink: Remember you live on the mainland and it is a long ways from the Treasure coast to here. BELIEVE me when I say it is a different world there than here, in reality and ESPECIALY in their minds. "Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbyyyyye"
