SO IT'S FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR, THE WEEK'S OVER AND IT'S TIME TO ROCK IN THE WEEKEND WITH A TASTEFULLY SERVED MEDLEY OF PROCLAIMERS AND TALKING HEADS. OR, FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE A MORE RELAXED TRANSITION, PERHAPS A DOUBLE CAROLINA COCKTAIL. IF YOU REALLY NEED TO START OUT MELLOW, CHECK OUT OUR JUKEBOX SIGN AND PICK OUT SOMETHING WITH SOME PRETTY PICKIN' LIKE THE BOXER, FOR INSTANCE. AND WHILE YOU'RE STROLLING (OR TROLLING) PAST THE BUFFET, GRAB A SLICE OF AMERICAN PIE BEFORE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE PLACE THAT THERE'S NO ROOM TO MOVE. DID SOMEONE SAY BLUES? OR WAS IT DEEP RIVER BLUES? OR WAS IT MOODY BLUES? STUFFY HEAD? TRY NYQUIL BLUES!

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE ENCOURAGED SOME OF OUR MORE TALENTED FRIENDS TO SIT IN ON A COUPLE OF SONGS. PERHAPS YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT THE HORSE ON A NIGHT THAT HANNAH SHOWED UP AND GRACED US WITH HER RICH 3RD HARMONY ON SOUTHERN CROSS.

OR MAYBE IT'S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS DAVE BROUGHT THE MANDOLIN FOR TENNESSEE STUD.

JUST AS IT'S GETTING LATE AND EVERYONE'S ANESTHETIZED, DON'T BE SURPRISED IF SOMEONE SAYS "LET'S TALK DIRTY IN HAWAIIAN !" THAT'S WHEN IT'S A GOOD TIME TO DO CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME.
