A Man Walks Into A Bar ( or a Pub or a Saloon or a Bodega or ...)




















So you're on the road, spendin' the night in a strange town. Gotta get up early in the AM but it's too nice an evening to waste in your room, so you're out taking in the air when as you walk by a corner a door opens down the street and a well played chord catches you're ear. Nothin' but unfamiliar doors down the street but now you think a pint & a bit of song will do. But which one? Careful there's a 2 drink minimum.













OK, Now what did I do with the keys? Oh, there's another!

I wouldn't mind a stop at the Bayou Pelican for me, based on what I can hear of these.

Oh and you can piss off poaching Thea Gilmore tunes. That's my territory. She lives near here, I've been to see her and I've got all her albums. I don't go nomming .... er, tries to think of a Nevada band

er
you know, sometimes I can be a bit daft
OK, a lot of times
These all sounded like they'd been recorded on a cell phone from the back of the club and I figured that was the joke. Fintan being a lecky guy probably did some kind of weird effect thing.

Clever guy reaching all the way over here and pulling my headphone jack partway out.

I'm going to go lie down now. My head hurts.

Desperately trying to erase mental image with visions of a world in which Thea Gilmore plays at the Red Dog. (thanks for shouting that xmas song I've become a huge fan & love her take on an old standard)

Shiv (?) has been shouting it as well

Fintan: Are we neighbors, where do you live?

Fintan28 said...

@GF dunno. I'm in Sparks, Nv. if we're neighbors you'll know it otherwise think Reno but I don't actively claim it. Where are you?

tincanman said...

Fintan, I think what you need on this little road trip of yours is a little God Fearing Blues

ToffeeBoy said...

We need the Cheers theme tune on this list ...

Fintan: I somehow thought you were in SF, I'm in
Sonoma county, about 60 miles N of SF.

GF - you may have seen some back & forth with winslowboy & i after a recent trip I took to SF. My wife & I have spent a little time in the Sonoma area. We went to the wine festival a couple of times & used Healdsburg as a base for wine tasting & general relaxation. Large Italian population in my area & they used to organize grape buying trips to Sonoma & have a grape stomp in Sparks when they got back. Great childhood memories.

Good point re Cheers
There's also that 2 packets of crisps place.
And that bar bar bar song

My favourite musical watering hole is Bills Ballhaus in Bilbao aka Bills Beerhall in Bilbao.

Who could resist a place where you could get "all you wanted...of whatever kind of joy you called your own"
