fredxmertzPirate Reunion last night at Luckey's. Hung out with Jason the Angry Cook and numerous
Men Overboard, my ex-bandmates of a sort, though I never officially signed on with these cats, I played bass, banjo, harmonica, tin whistle , and percussion with them in different and various incarnations.
Also, Sid and Fancy, including more ex-bandmates/jam buddies, what-have-you.
Z bought me a double shot of Jameson's and Oakshires 'Line Drive' Pale ale was on sale.
Joel and Chris, I can never get enough of.
That was my first time seeing Seattle'sWages of Sin and they kicked much heiny. Their banjo player has the same banjo I've got, the DEERING Goodtime 2 :
Stout is [...] the robust and slightly heavier brother of beer. [...] Dublin is the home of stout. Guiness's brewery is the world's largest brewery, and it is, speaking industrially, Dublin. It is the greatest employer of labour in the Irish capital, and the only firm with a world-wide reputation. A jet black river of Guinness trickles into every corner of the thirsty world, taking with it the name of Dublin. [...] The recipe for stout is simple: it is hops (Kentish and Californian mixed), pale malt, and a certain quantity of roast malt or barley. Roast malt looks exactly like coffee, which explains the Ethiopian colour of the 'wine of Ireland'. (H. V. Morton, In Search of Ireland 36)
This frankly vaudeville song extols the virtues of Ireland's 'black liquidation with froth on the top'. It probably dates from the First World War period (see second verse), and General Guinness is still winning battles. Robin has the song from Dick Bamber who lives in his native Portadown, Co. Armagh. (Notes 'Boys of the Lough III')
