#129-Mailbox Money

The end of June can mean many things to many people, but to me, the final day of June has become representative of an important date in my mom’s life. Her retirement date. When I realized that the final day of June this year happened to be the final Tuesday of the month, I immediately knew what song I was going to pick. A song that represented the mail, by making money though receiving mail, or making money while delivering the mail. Mailbox Money does both, the perfect song for June’s offering of Topsail Tuesday music.

#96 – City Of New Orleans

Jimmy Buffett was an amazing song writer and performer, and I think that made him appreciate other songwriters and performers. One of those who was a great friend of his, and who Jimmy credits for teaching him so much, was the late Steve Goodman. One of Goodman’s biggest hits of his career was a little tune he penned called City Of New Orleans, and several times in Jimmy’s career, he honored Steve by playing this song and even put a live version of it on an album.
