Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack

Part and parcel of...

Ah.  Beautiful weather, a couple o' few decent beers, a good cigar, and fine tunes... life is good.  Or as good as it gets these days.  It's ALL relative, yanno?

Update, later that same day, from the self-same soundtrack:





Which calls to mind one late late night in 1977 in Westby, Montana where... at approximately three or four o'clock in the morning... we did a drunken duet of this very same song with an artist who was performing in one of the two bars in Westby.  And we were GOOD, Gentle Reader.  But that's not the salient or even the most prominent memory of that evening...  No, it was the fact that I prevented a great good friend of mine from driving the ten miles back to her dorm in the wee small hours of that morning.  Like me, she was incredibly and wonderfully "happy," way too happy to drive. So... we convinced her to drive the half mile to my Little Home On The Prairie instead.  We got home and almost literally fell into bed.  The last thing I remember about that night:

She:  I don't wanna do anything...

Me:  Me neither.  I'm too damned drunk anyway...

And so we went to sleep, cradled in each others arms.  A fine ending to a fine night, regardless of what you might think.  Ain't it amazing what music will conjure up at any given point in time?
