Today here at 27th Street, I’m starting a new music list, this one affectionately titled Drivin’ Nails in my Coffin – music about drinking. This time I’m going to count up instead of down, and once again these are in no particular order.
Drinking song #1 features Tom Waits and his visit to Fernwood 2Nite many years ago, performing The Piano has Been Drinking.
Of course there are multiple Tom Waits choices on the subject of drinking, so let’s make Drinking Song #2 Warm Beer and Cold Women.
Now I’m not one who knows when to stop, so here’s one more Tom Waits tune – Drinking song #3 – that fits right into our little theme – Jockey Full of Bourbon.
This list is going to be a lot of fun. I think it might be a long one too – a testament to human frailty I suppose.
I don’t know what I would think of Fernwood 2Night if it were being made today – but at the time, I loved that show.
This takes me back.. ha, had totally forgotten about Fernwood 2night.
