Not Exactly a Drinking Song, But Still...

[The Magistrate]

1. I'll raise my glass to that one!

Might well be the ULTIMATE drinking song, really.

[The Magistrate]

7. It Does Trace The Process From Start To Finish, Sir

And preserve ancient mysteries as well.

[GReedDiamond]

2. Since I'm drinking, Sir, I shall call this "a drinking song"...

...drimking and smocking...nt

[The Magistrate]

9. Both Seem Necessities Nowadays, Sir

How can one keep up otherwise?


"In alcohol's defense, let me say I've done a lot of stupid shit sober."

3. A true classic from my youth

Thank you for sharing!

[The Magistrate]

4. I Have Fond Memories Of It Myself, Sir

My first real apartment, with a mattress for a couch, several candles in ceramic owls hanging off the ceiling....

[Lithos]

8. Nice

Totally get the owls... Athena fits you well.

To be honest, I remember two periods from my youth. The first time around during the original release from friends of my parents which seared the song into my head. The second time was just slightly over 10 years later whilst during my early adult period having various rounds with a very good and older friend of mine who had similar tastes of music. It was this second time that I really came to appreciate little Stevie Winwood and Traffic. This song instantly transports me back. It's one of my favorites and I thank you for sharing it tonight.



How are you with Steve Marriott?

[The Magistrate]

10. It Was An Odd Place, Sir

A two-story town house that had been cut up into four apartments plus an attic, where an old woman with a one-legged lover lived. All the rest were freaks (nobody called themselves a hippie...)....

In mine, the toilet was in a closet, the bedroom was under the stairs to the attic, someone had painted the floor white and the walls and ceiling deep blue, in the room that served for kitchen a shower stall was in one corner, with a sink and a stove on that wall.

Cost fifty dollars a month, and the guy rented it to me even though I was seventeen. I worked at a place paid twelve dollars a day in cash, bought a steak and a can of peas and a coke while walking home, for about two dollars or so.

Steve Marriott does not ring a bell, Sir, I fear. Is he the artist of that 'rake's progress' style print?

13. The Band I Recognize, But I Never Knew The Line-Up

Not bad, but not a favorite. That is a good performance, though.

5. Every song is a drinking song, if you have a glass in hand.

Nice pick for the night, sir. Traffic is always a good choice.
