As a musician, I realized long ago that these two songs have similar chord structures. In fact, the chord progression in the verses is identical.
The similarities led me to create a medley of these two songs, one flowing naturally into the next. I've been playing this medley on my guitar for years.
I've covered a lot of Buffett songs on my YouTube channel, but I wanted to do something special this time as a memorial. So I decided to do a piano version of the Floridays/Brahma Fear medley.
Neither of these songs is among Buffett's most well-known. You have to be a pretty dyed-in-the-wool Buffett fan to know them. So I realize a lot of people won't want to listen to 7 and a half minutes of unfamiliar cover songs. But if you're interested, here's my memorial to Jimmy.
