I have to admit to occasionally selling my soul to the MOB at gigs... something I used to do a lot more when I was younger...

Now well, on the off chance I 'have to' (ya, I know... you never HAVE to play anything... But you know the situations I'm getting at...) I try to look at it this way... Sure, so sometimes some dufus in the crowd thinks that Lightfoots' "Wreck of the E. Fitz." is the BEST shipwreck song ever! (More often than not they think it's the ONLY shipwreck song ever...) so ya... sometimes I'll knuckle under and play that p.o.s. song...

but I will also follow it up with a GOOD shipwreck song, like Merry Ellen Carter or Captain Torres for instance...
