...settled down for a snack of ham sandwiches. Suddenly the No. 2 starboard rod bent crazily in its stanchion, and the whine of racing line pierced the stillness. Strike! "He's here! He's with us!" Peacock screamed. Donn Mann, 48, an experienced sport fisherman, ran to the fighting chair, strapping his canvas harness to the fiber-glass rod. Some swordfish like to tease the bait. Not this one.

...electric and accoustic and pedal steel guitars with less and less studio multitrack overdub gibberish and more roadband verisimilitude. Buffett, playing solo bars from New Orleans to Key West, Florida, poured chukka into his roadband sound: drunken-sailor crabby-cowbell filled-in reggae rhythms, compounded with clean country whine-guitars, a baying folkie voice and Greg "Fingers" Taylor's wailing harmonica equals shrimpboat rock.
