With all of the talk about Jimmy performing songs live that he has not done in years, I decided to compile a list of the songs that according to all available information he has recorded but never performed live. The list begins with the album "Down To Earth..." and runs through the most recent studio album "Songs from St. Somewhere". The List also includes a number of songs that Jimmy has recorded for soundtracks and other non Buffett compilations. The numbers to the left of the songs in the list are the CD track numbers for each song.
