My first year in college that wasn't abnormal. But now I might have one drink once every 2-3 weeks. But that was college.
I work with someone who, up until this year, would drink a 60 of Jack a weekend.

I think it would be acceptable and I would totally drink 6 a day but the 8.5% beer I drink would catch up with my waist line and I would be a wreck every morning. Oh what a mess I would be.
I really don't understand that first 'w'. Doesn't sound familiar to me at all. And for what it's worth, I have a degree in Linguistics.
Started to like his playing when I was doing Johnny Winter covers with a three-piece... we were a tad straight-line rock n roll, very machismo in spirit. The more purely fun stuff came later, and it sounded a little more like John Taylor- not that I gave up my roots! I'm still sort of a bludgeon-headed Dawg rocker... AND I really dug, and still dig, the Smithereens. Great bass lines, yep. I get it.
I don't think Boston and Brooklyn accents are alike at all, actually. I grew up around NY and lived in Salem, MA, for five years. The dropped 'r' at the end of words is quite different, for example. I can tell each apart very quickly.
Incidentally, my current status, while working out a bass line for a new song.

You are close enough to know the nuance. My Ohio accent was mistaken for "southern" on occasion in the past. Same thing.
Let the day begin is a great song. I've always wanted to play it.
Kind of a sleeper song. I like your set list. Very eclectic.
Red hook! You've trumped my 16 oz. Canadian ale.
Having said that: "what's your favorite beer? The one in my hand"
I did pretty much the same thing for the same reason. No gig until September. Trying to put a side thing together with my oldest friend/old band mate. I purposely play stuff I have a slim to no chance of playing with my band.
Boogie Oogie Oogie
Love Lies Bleeding/Funeral
Tempus Fugit-Yes
Emerald-Thin Lizzy
Black Rose-Thin Lizzy
Love Is Like Oxygen
Painkiller-Priest
Gates Of Babylon-Rainbow
Living On A Prayer
Boys And Girls-Bryan Ferry
In The Dead of Night-UK
Sleepwalk-Ultravox

That's a Long Hammer!
That's probably true, I like to try different things (Reds are my fave), sometime they don't turn out tho - I tried something that had a chocolate as part of it..................

Cool list!
Love lies bleeding is tough! Dee Murray, what a player!
I can just about play my band's stuff asleep, it's really nice to take a break (I don't have time for another band) and just work on, and learn some other music, I really enjoy that, trying to figure out what other bassists are doing.
Im not French but in the early 90's I had been asked on a few occasions if I was French because apparently I had a French accent. It just happens that I was dabbling throughout the second half of the 80's with LSD and Mary Jane in fact dabbling so much I inherited a French accent.
Lesson here is - Dont abuse mind altering substances as side effects may convert you to French

I really don't have time for another band either. I'm hoping once the new thing gets some legs I can walk away from the old one. I'm not digging the new direction we seem to be taking one bit. We're going from a hard classic rock thing to more of a run of the mill bar band. Adding too many played out standards.
Might be a big on the heavier side, but some fun songs are
Anything Sabbath
Tool-46&2 and Schism
Ghost-From the Pinnacle to the Pit
They all have awesome bass lines
WHOAAAA!!! Tempus Fugit of all Yes songs from of all Yes albums?!. Awesome. That was the last Yes album I ever included into my collection but once I did I was freaked out about how great it was. I never wanted to own it because of the way I thought the singer was trying to emulate Anderson's vocals and the fact he previously did Video Killed The Radio Star. I thought it would be total
but its awesome. Squire hated that album and that singer.
If I can get a Drs prescription do you think I'll get a discount at the bottle-o ?
I was wondering if The Nasty Habits do any songs by ,The Easybeats?
There is a tribute show starting up for a run down here (sounds like it will be great too!) and as I thought about it I thought that a couple of them may be fun / suit TNH. Maybe too obscure in NA though.
Just got back from a new brewery in town. I used to brew in a former life, so I had an interesting conversation with the owner. Almost all the hops I used to buy came from your neck of the woods. But now a lot of growing is happening here. The soil conditions that make for good wine also apply to hops. It's a big deal now. How big is your yard? Just put up some 40' poles and let them grow!That's a Long Hammer!
