I ran into one of the Buffalo Sabres in the elevator at the Prague hotel. They were in town to play the New Jersey Devils. He invited me to the game but I was performing that night.

Howie Rose bringing the chills! Unreal. #LGM

This might be the most perfect radio call I’ve ever heard, via the great Howie Rose.

@DavidWondrich Willie Nelson for sheer numbers, but his quarterlies must’ve been something to behold back in the day. Several renditions of “Help Me Make It Through The Night” ruled the airwaves. “Bobby McGee”. You know what, I’d give movies a shot, too!
He had a lot of Elvis in him. RIP.

@DavidWondrich A singular sensation.
Probably my pick for top time travel concert. At The Five Spot, with Coltrane.

Bar world content creators, can we please stop using strainers and such to open bottles? Just use the bottle opener. It’s much safer and lessens the chance of glass shards in bottle.

Had the pleasure to see John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in the 80’s at the old Ritz. He was awesome and the show culminated with an appearance by Bluesbreakers alum and former Rolling Stone, Mick Taylor. They rocked a “Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” to boot. RIP Mr. Mayall.

Happy to have my two cents thrown in here.

@TheTedAllen The reasons to stay are dwindling…

Dr. Brown’s ‘Cel-Ray’ soda is a mere shell of its former self. Practically no celery flavor in its current iteration.
Might be time for a craft brand to make it happen.
Keep me posted. I’ll help in the development stages.

Wings of Desire is a masterpiece.
Extra credit for 80’s Nick Cave.

Most umpires suck and are greasing the skids for the robots.
Yankee Stadium is a band box.

A must read for every bartender and cocktail enthusiast alike.

It was an honor and privilege to contribute to Nicola Nice’s groundbreaking book and ongoing project which directs the deserving spotlight on the importance, and mostly unheralded, contribution of women to the development and history of the cocktail.

[Frank Caiafa @HandleBarsNYC]

Now, through her book,The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nice insightfully chronicles history’s most influential hostesses, firmly placing these extraordinary women in their rightful position at the forefront of the dawn of the cocktail tradition.”
