Where Nobody knows your name
When you’ve played on songs by Elvis, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Sonny and Cher, Barbra Streisand, Jan and Dean, The Monkeys, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, The Righteous Brothers, The Carpenters, Simon & Garfunkel, The Tijuana Brass, The Mamas & The Papas, The Ventures and The 5th Dimension you’d think people might know your name. But for the majority of certain 1960’s studio musicians, known as The Wrecking Crew, we don’t recognize their names. Glen Campbell is the likely exception.
The Wrecking Crew guitarist Bill Pitman recently passed away at age 102. Watch this trailer to see a bit of a rockumentary about the amazing musicians known as The Wrecking Crew. Bill, Rest In Peace.

Heart Beat
Christopher Sandford wrote a great article in The Seattle Times about the band Heart. Worth reading.
“By and large , Heart avoided the temptation to trash their hotel rooms or succumb to the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, although there seems to have been an incident when a lawnmower somehow ended up in Holiday Inn swimming pool.”
If you’re a fan, check out the band Heart by Heart featuring founding bassist Norman Fossen and former drummer Mike Derosier. Tribute band on steroids.

To Your Health
August 18th is National Pinot Noir Day. Celebrate by enjoying a glass or….. it’s funny how drinking eight glasses of water a day seems impossible…. but drinking eight glasses of wine can be savored in one meal.

Pickle ball Wizard
We watched a corn hole tournament on ESPN recently. The commentators noted that the high level of competition has sidelined many of the former top players.
And now pickleball. The Wall Street Journal posted an article on exercises to “turbocharge your pickle ball game.”
No mention of beer curls. Maybe it’s time to hang up the paddle.

Burnin’ Love
Elvis passed away 45 years ago today. His last big hit was “Burning Love” in 1972. It reached number two on the charts, surpassed only by Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-a-LIng”. Just a couple of hunka-hunka of burnin’ loves.

Gone Fishin’
Our buddy woke up early last Saturday, got dressed, made lunch, tossed some beers in the cooler, and slipped quietly into the garage. He hooked the boat to the truck and then remembered to check the weather report. Torrential rains and high winds. So he un-hitched the boat, went back into the house, undressed, and quietly slipped back into bed. Hoping for another kind of action, he cuddled up to his wife and whispered, “The weather outside is horrible.”
His wife replied, “And can you believe my idiot husband is out fishing in that?”

It’s Monday and we got Nothin’
Writer’s block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.

Dad Jeans are cool again!
Um, we missed the fact that they were uncool. Men’s Health to the rescue. If you tossed yours, Levi’s 550 Relaxed Fit made the cut of nine acceptable styles. And they cost way less than some of the $300 choices.
“There’s something about a pair of slouchy, unfussy jeans that signal a relaxed and comfortable confidence. These bad boys are versatile enough for mowing the lawn, hanging with the guys, date night, or even a casual day at the office.”

National vinyl record day
On August 12th, dust off your favorite albums and celebrate the good old days when new releases were a really big deal and we listened to an entire album one side at a time. Gave them all away? Vinyl sales now outpace CD sales.

We were recently reminded that the younger generations use the term “Boomer Remover”. Meaning Covid-19. Very upsetting to us Baby Boomers. To calm us down, we found the recipe for a Boomer cocktail on cocktailsandshots.com.
BOOMER
- 0.66 part Tequila
- 0.50 part Apricot liqueur
- 0.50 part Orange juice
- 0.25 part Lemon juice
- 0.25 part Sugar syrup
Put it all in a shaker with ice, etc.
There. That’s better.

Pick and click
We like to complain that a lot of the fun drink recipes we see online contain ingredients that we don’t have on the shelf. Well, Total Wine & More makes gathering those ingredients easy; some of which might be in little airline bottles so we don’t get left with a big bottle of something we will never use again. When Total Wine sends us a recipe they make it easy to click on the ingredients and accessories we might need for pick up at a store. Real easy.
After signing up for their recipe email service, our first six recipes included….. Gin & Tonic. Thanks. We’ve got that one covered.

A roaring good time
When a mellow Buzz just isn’t quite enough, try mixing boats and booze and Blue Angels. That’s Seafair!
