Lynard are you drinking right now?[/b]

No Sir, I don't start drinking wine
till 5pm. It's what I have for dinner,
beats a steak, or chicken, or a
hamburger.

Now that Wal mart box wine is
California wine, personally I like
the Franzia. I do buy the 4liter
bottle of Carlo Rossi occasionally,
again California wine.

The Napa valley is world famous
for their Cabernet, but I like the
good old Sonoma county wine.
You know a Pinot Noir.

I enjoy Reisling, nothing too expensive, though. It can be had from Kroger's, though it's not the cheapest or most expensive one there. I think it's called Barefoot, or something like that. I drink it, maybe once a year, have to be in the mood for it.

I try not to drink too much to protect the vocals, obviously, but it's hard to resist a good few drinks once or twice a month...Usually once.

I typically prefer Bombay Sapphire gin to just about anything else. Aside from that, and in order:

1.) Bombay Sapphire (Gin)
2.) Tanqueray (Gin)
3.) Yuengling Black & Tan (Beer)
4.) Black Velvet (Canadian Blend Whiskey)
5.) Guinness Draught (Beer)
6.) Disaronno/Jack Daniels 1:1 (Amaretto mixed with Tennessee Whiskey) A.K.A. "Godfather"
7.) Lord Calvert (Gin)
8.) Lady Bligh (Spiced Rum)
9.) Absolut (Vodka)
10.) Shiner Bock (Beer)*

*Shiner used to be rated above Guinness, except I can't get it here. I had it during the short period of time I lived in Kansas City, Missouri.

**Beamish (Beer) would be my favorite beer, and probably my favorite alcoholic beverage of all time. The problem is, it is no longer available in the United States, at all, so I don't include it on the list.

The first song I ever learned was two chords. I bought a Strella guitar for five bucks and five hits of speed. (yeah...I know)

Part of the deal was he taught me to play Shady Grove with an Em and D.

It was an inauspicious start I admit. Yet I've learned since then that what a real player can do with two chords is virtually limitless.

I enjoy Beethovan and I enjoy Robert Johnson too. I listen to a lot of Megadeth and like Celtic music. Music has been the one constant in my life. Sometimes I wish I had two lifetimes to live to do more.

Here's my 2 chord song. One note changes by one fret between the two chords. A friend wrote the two chords and I was like WOW! And the bass line wrote itself within seconds after that. It is my signature looping song.

Thanks man!

I'll up the ante. Sly and the family stone!
The bass player plays one note for most of this killer song!

Larry Grahm can get away with it cause of the feather in his hat!

I love Sly and these old songs, Larry was one of my favorite bass players!

Thanks for Sharing the Paul, thier music always makes me feel good!

And whenever I listen to it I always hear something new in there!

Great Stuff!

I love the white dude in the blue shirt at the end throwing the Peace signs!

He couldnt dance but he got the sign right! LOL

It really does make you feel good! gotta love positive music!

Sly was great - and in a sort of league of his own.

But here were the masters - this is a genre I'm not sure even exists anymore, but while it did, the Temptations owned it.
