now you are picking my brain lol
A lot of blues songs were originally written and performed by obscure performers. Only made famous years later by others. This one written in 1953 by Rudy Toombs and performed by Amos Milburn.

Gin and cola… wish I could stand diet cola but have not yet found one. Have to limit sugar so regular is out too.
smokinbubba I had a buddy that would drink gin and cola and I thought he was crazy. Years later I started making both cola and gin from scratch. The ingredient list is remarkably similar. They were made for each other. My favorite sugar free cola is Coke Zero. I think I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare said beverage!

Since I’m working from the basement, I thought I’d share.

smokinbubba Everyone has their “preferences”. That’s what makes the world go round. But, I’m the person when we can go into a “bar or similar place” again that they always have to ask “what are you drinking tonight?”. Almost everyone else has their “goto”. But, it depends on the day for me because I can order just about anything depending the wind direction (scotch, bourbon, wine, beer, etc). Keep having fun with your taste buds with a little doctor advise.
“One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer”.
Ok, now name who wrote the tune.processhead George T. It’s a classic from the late 70’s by the destroyers. Still relevant today. The previous was by Amos in the 60’s. But, I would think the origins go back into the 40’s for the actual original. People back then really knew how to write songs.

I’ve heard that song so many times. Never knew the origin… Thanks. -
Jonathon s request, please list your drink of choice. I’ll start, I love bourbon and Coors Light or a good old Coors yellow belly. My bourbons of choice are Elijah Craig, Bulliet, Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam Black and W.L. Wellers. Now if I just want to pound down some drinks a good 7&7 can’t be beat.

Joe Hell Toasting a new Scotch (to me: Monkey Shoulder from Speyside Single Malt) to the Negroni while designing the next batch of Polish and Italian for a bud and updating a website. Took at break from the bevy of bourbon. Nice sipping whiskey.

Joe Hell Re: Monkey Shoulder. In comparison to other Scotches, it’s very reasonable. At $33-34 vs some of the other scotches I have that at least double that price. It’s not the best I’ve tasted. But, for the price, pretty darn good.

My son gave me a bottle of Monkey Shoulder for Christmas. Its a pretty decent Scotch and I found myself pouring a couple fingers in the evening, drinking it neat.
I usually just drink Dewars on the rocks. -

Picked this up today. Started shipping this about a year ago.

Actually pretty tasty and quite smooth. May be a keeper.
PapaSop I saw that at my local liquor store today and was wondering how it was. I may have to grab one next trip

George Thurgood
Yeah George Thorogood did a popular cover of the tune. The original goes back further than that though.
processhead John Lee Hooker did it before George, but I don’t think he was the first either.

Whipped up some hurticanes tonight.

Tex_77 ahh SoCo, havent had a drink with that in it in a long time but it was a favorite when I used to drink more. I just cant deal with the hang overs anymore. It’s unfair, you would think that by trying to stay and eat healthy my body would allow me some abuse from time to time, but the exact opposite seems to be the case, I have more than 4 drinks and the next day is just a nightmare. Part of the reason we stopped drinking during the podcast/livestreams is because it was erasing my Saturdays or whatever day was after the live stream!
Speaking of livestreams, we are going to be live today at 2:30 at waltonsinc.com/live. Lots of stuff to give away so join us!
