Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??

Hello there, which cognac you ask? Cheapo stuff, Greg, very cheapo...do you think I can afford something decent with that hobby of ours?? Joyce I suppose, would make more pleasant reading than Jaynes, but alas it's a Julian and not a James, the stork is bringing from the land of the Amazons.....and as far as I am concerned Wirehead, I'd rather have what the I-Ging says about music than what came out of that pox-riddled brain of Nietzsche...but basically it boils down to the same thing, pox and no pox.......Greg's idea of drunken composing reminds me of the life of Sung Tung Po, but alas no chen -players here, no comely maidens to bring new wine and the poet -friends not near, but spead all around the internet..... I think I'll need some more cognac, perhaps the rig will sound better then.....and Kubla toepics can be nice, remember Tom Waits singing about popsicle-toes, made me all nostalgic for a chen-playing maiden......which is where the snake bites its own tail. Cheerio

Gregg: I always found Hine Rare & Delicate to be the best bang for the buck in recent years (I sold specialty food, wine and liquor for 7 years).

D-K, thanks for the tip! Regarding cheapo cognac, Detlof, I remember (a drunk) N. Simone yrs ago spitting out a gde champagne and screaming for a glass of the cafe stuff. BTW at don't you find that cognac makes the system sound worse the morning after?

What was the subject, again??

Heinz Cognac yes, Gregg, Hine not, but basically its true, the highs make funny things to your brain and bass drums or double base rudely plucked and manhandled get your synapses out of joint. After a cold glass of beer, the rig starts slowly to sound better. ....and to hell with the subject, make it a thread for higher nonsense.....possibly we'll find method in the madness...all this is better than talking about Salvatore, where, though he would probably like it, his nomen non est omen.

Yes, but what about the background noise that the beer creates, not to mention the sound of the toilet constantly flushing after 2-3 hours into the drinking/listening session. My current cocktail (not by choice) is 10mg Methadone/100MG Zoloft/4 mg Zanaflex. Sometimes I just listen to the same CD over and over as I don't feel like getting up to cahange it.
