I dont seem to have 'good times' at bars.. For starters most owners deny me access to the television remote when its time for my daily episode of Charmed.. Most bars dont stock a hearty Merlot for me to relax and unwind at the end of my shift at the magpie taming clinic... and most patrons dont appreciate me getting so drunk i throw up on the bar and pass out... Due to these circumstances I much prefer indulging in a goon bag, sitting on a park bench and yelling obscenities at the local female population...

How about some live music instead?

I can also usually play along "by ear" with most songs I hear from a jukebox or other device. Most people enjoy it. There are sometimes spoilsports, and if they are the ones putting the quarters in of course I won't play.

Oh look, that dance floor is plenty big enough for me to turn circles on playing guitar while riding my bicycle no hands. I don't drink hard liquor if I am bicycle guitaring, but at a local brew pub that has outside tables with space enough for me to ride I learned one beer an hour can be tasty and fun. More than that and my music gets sloppy. Much more than that and my riding gets sloppy.

On the bicycle I usually do bluesy rock, folk rock or punk rock improvisation. It can be tricky when circling around a crowd to play some songs like Help! (The Beatles), Dream On (Aerosmith) or Dust in the Wind (Kansas) because these songs have riffs or arpeggios that require precise picking and when on a bicycle sometimes the environment (the surface I'm riding on but even more the movements of people and animals around me) requires my focus more than the music. I can usually play More Than a Feeling (Boston) or Behind Blue Eyes (The Who) all right while circling even in a crowd.

It's also a lot of fun to make up new songs on the spot from what people around me are saying. People who know me are used to this, but it can annoy someone who doesn't know me to suddenly hear what they just said being sung. I take some of their exact words, and then play off them, extend them, sometimes add silliness, or just keep listening and after they say something more I sing it for the next verse.

Yep...you'd be good entertainment, for sure!

The bartender will give you 1/10 of the take for the evening, plus free food. Only 1 drink, though--he doesn't need drunk musicians, especially one who sings on a bike......

i was at 6 flags on saturday, it was fun and all, didn't think more than normally about Lorel. i developed a headache not too far into my experience there, but it was made worse by extra loud HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ! singing and deliberate screaming and conversations coming from all directions.

but, i was on the Scream, after a few loops i smelled her. pretty powerfully actually, it's this sort of bleachy hoodie smell that came straight from march 2012. i don't know what it was...but is smelled just. like. her.
it was exact.
but it wasn't as prevalent as last time i went in may, when i seemed to be following the powerful aroma, or it was following me. maybe she was there?!
can't be. the chances are too slim, impossible, terrific.
:hmph:

Sorry for delay, I thought the bar was closing down due to lack of customers.


Dave is the name of the beer Mary?
Let's see , we have only Tuborg and Carlsberg for a start.
So which one? :lol:


Sigbold, well there's home brewed beer, limited stock.
Would you like some?
:)
