The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor

[Brooke]

Well, I just love A Good Day and cannot vote for it yet. I think it's sooooooo much better than The Shadow, so my vote goes for TS. Again.

Excuse me? Did you say something after "Tim massaging my back", Dreamer?

I was thinking the same thing

To save The Shadow, I vote for A Good Day

Excuse me? Did you say something after "Tim massaging my back", Dreamer?

Damn! You'd think I would know better by now. Okay - I guess a rewrite is in order ...

"I'm sure Tim would tell you to just vote for whatever Dreamer wants you too as he gives you a nice gentle back massage to relieve your stress."

Now, does that make more sense?

I was just reading this interview and found this part interesting, since we were just addressing the 'what songs would Timothy like best in this game' question.

Let's jump ahead here. You're going to tour behind your solo record, Expando, which came out in 2009.

"That's right. You know, here's the thing: That record wasn't heard by a lot of people. It didn't get the shot it should've gotten at the time, the best promotion and what not. And the bottom line is, I wanna play. So it might be presented that I'm touring being my latest release, but in reality, the set is Expando-heavy because I really like a lot of those songs."

Thanks for posting this, PM. Very interesting comments from Tim. I also have to believe that Tim loves those songs from Expando given that he performs the entire album live with the exception of Melancholy (now don't get me started about that omission ) I think he must also enjoy The Shadow since it is the only other one of his solo songs that he performs live. When Tim decided to do a small tour this spring, I'm sure it was much easier to just do the same songs that he did on his 2007 tour. Revamping the setlist involves a lot of time and practice, especially for a group of musicians who don't perform together regularly.

As for the votes this round, I also think Soda made a good case for A Good Day, but all the songs are really good at this point in the game. I will probably vote for it because it is my least favorite of the remaining songs.The Shadow is next on my list, but I think the song deserves to finish in the Top 5 (bet Tim does, too ). However, I will vote for it this round to save Every Song Is You if that becomes necessary.

I was a little surprised that Tim included "The Shadow" in the tour this time out, but I had not seen the previous tour, so I was not sure what to expect. I knew it was going to mostly be Expando, but I was pleasantly surprised that he included this song, as it's one of my favorites!

Gosh, I can't decide....

So I'll just go with something completely different.

I cast my vote for Friday Night.

[GlennLover]

I vote The Shadow

[zeldabjr]

Every Song Is You

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Hey all - I just want to let everyone know that Soda and I both have plans this evening. Therefore, the results of this round that ends at 8:00 p.m. EST will be posted several hours later than usual. Sorry for the inconvience, but please do not cast any votes for the next round until we can get around to posting the official results. I'll post them as soon as I possibly can.

Since I won't be around, I have to vote a little earlier than I'd like. Hopefully, it won't make much difference. So ...

I cast my vote for A Good Day.
