Song du Jour

• The first person I ever saw sing live was in seventh grade. His name was Tom Garven, and he sang for our junior high's house band, the Orston Godies. He sang Paul Revere and the Raiders' "Just Like Me." Tom, a great guy, would sing in many bar-bands over the years. He died of lung cancer in the not too distant past. I bring it up because his dad was the jingle writer who wrote the famous Hamms drumbeat and jingle. That's what I think of when the topic comes up. I think my first beer was a Pabst Blue Ribbon, at the Home Bar, which stood where Rudolph's has been for the past thirty years. I was underage, but the guys in the band got me through the door and past the bouncers.

• I popped my cherry on Irish Whiskey. I heard "Post War" late tonight on the Current. After I drank Irish Whiskey. Said the scorpion to the frog. Your sentimentlity, I call'heart and inspiring'.... My new album---Untethered. bahdadaddadada..(Hamms drumbeat.)

• I popped my beer cherry with an Olympia. With my dad, it was usually Olympia or Schmidt. I wasn't allowed near the Calverts.
