First, a thought to append to our earlier discussions
on liquor.
If this group EVER had a theme song, I think I've
found it. I was sitting here listening to a
compilation CD on the blues I purchased at the
beginning of the week and boogeying to beat the band
while emailing. And then OUR song came on.
What's OUR Song?
Why it's got to be John Lee Hooker's:
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer."
If you don't know what bourbon is, its a form of that
with-or-without-an-E word, whiskey (although it's the
Americanized brew, so it's probably with the E--see,
you learn something new on this list everyday).
But, for the analyticals in the group who need more
info, here's the definition from
http://www.yourdictionary.com:
3 [Bourbon county, Kentucky] : a whiskey distilled
from a mash made up of not less than 51 percent corn
plus malt and rye -- compare CORN WHISKEY
And, with that nonsense aside, here is an update for
those of us in California. Seems the Arts Council
Budget has been slashed--understandable since the
economy of the state headed for the toilet as a result
of our energy crisis (of which Enron was a
contributor--I worked for the electric utility for 24
years and then in gas trading dealing with folks Enron
for two years).
I also subscribe to the Arts Council Newsletter, so if
you want a copy, let me know, and I'll ship it to you
privately.
