Jeff swung by to watch a little Celts-Lakers, catch-up and play some tunes. The title of this blog came from Michael looking at a very haggard Jack Nicholson on the sideline and quipped to Jeff that,
'He doesn't look like he's going to make past halftime'.
Jeff retorted,
"That's what happens when the last 30 yrs of your life is dedicated to cocaine, hookers and Jack Daniels."
Cheers.
We opened up with an ez-peezee by CCR; Looking Out My Backdoor followed by a nice rendition of Ring of Fire by Senor Cash. A rarity for the 3-hole in My Hour of Darkness by Gram Parsons (not sure if we've ever plated that tune but a good one nonetheless).
Similar E minor/G/D strumming patterns brought us Melloncamp's Rain on the Scarecrow and The Smithereens' Blood & Roses (a tune that when we play I can't seem to get out of my head).
We then strumbled our way through Dan Berns' One Thing Real and realized we desperately need to play with Robert ASAP. We made up for it w/ Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue (been a while on that one) and a newbie from our Rolling Stones song list; Sweet Virginia.
Michael took the vocal helm with Petty's You're So Bad and Foz introduced a newbie to the Dwellers; Treehouse by Buffalo Tom. MJ went back to the mic for Seger's Hollywood Nights and then Foz belted out Dweller fave, Home on the Range. He then had a great time with Springsteen's This Hard Land. We rounded out the evening with Under the Milky Way Tonight by The Church, an appropriate Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd and ended with of course, Dead Flowers by The Rolling Stones.
A nice way to spend a Thursday evening.
