    Happy Saturday!
    Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. It's 78 degrees and may hit 80. Whoo hoo!

    While I don't have a turntable, I do have this record. One of my favorites.

    Man, that's tough. Home for two years after college, then moving across the country for a graduate degree. I imagine that concept will take some getting used to. My kids are scattered all over the place and I'm still coming to terms with that.

    I just about wore that Killers album out when I first got it.

    Onto Crate Day entry #2, with another VA brew Stingo, by Strangeways:
    [​IMG]

    Having it with a couple of "strange" dudes. Following this up with Jimi - ... And the Gods Made Love is a little strange also. Only Steely Dan vinyl I have (though I have all their earlier CDs). Look at that "Special Thanks" list; I think you and I are on it :rolling_eyes::astonished:.

    Onto the beer. I have always liked this brew, although my last go 'round with it, I wasn't impressed. This bottle is freakin' awesome though. It's a red wine barrel aged beer, and the wine/grape and light tanins come out in the beer nicely. They play well with the dark, alcohol-tinged old ale and woody notes to make a very impressive beer to me. Price is in the steeper end, but I may have to grab another if my place still has some (they did this past week).

    Cheers!!

    Edit: on to Voodoo Chile - the non-slight return version. A very jammy song with Jimi and a young Steve Winwood on the electric organ. Can't find a video worth posting, but there is an interesting spoken word description of the song on YouTube as a top hit in the searches:

    ...if you have 10 minutes (note - tried to make it just a link, but BA turned it into media).

    That brew looks stunning! Glad to hear that the flavors are there, too :-)
    ...Oh what I wouldn't give to have some Steely Dan to share today...

    Sadly, no records to contribute to Crate Day, so I'll just sit back and enjoy. Had too much fun with @MUTINY last night. In saying that, I'm going to attempt to keep things "light" today. Cheers, Advocates!

    Yeah... we both got after it a bit too much last night, my brother. Having said that (as I'm drinking a Devil Dancer :rolling_eyes:) - my next brew goes out to you, sir!
