Description
During the months that I was away from MJ, I still worked on music once in awhile. One day, I felt like just jamming, so I plugged my Dot Studio Epiphone into the ol’ Mac.
Once I found the guitar sound I liked, I stretched out a simple drum-loop and began to play over it. Afterwards, I filed it away and forgot about it.
Recently, while waiting for some tracks to arrive on another collab, I decided to go through some of my old files, and rediscovered this one.
Except for the correction of two timing glitches, and the replacement of one brief “sour” riff at the end of the transition to the mid-section, the guitar track in this song is that self-same jam.
After I tweaked the guitar track, I sent it to Andy Mackle to see if he would like to lay down some drums. Then I went to work on the bass parts.
Finally, I researched and compiled a bunch of famous one-liners about drinking, and arranged them into song lyrics.
Nothing serious here. Just a bit O’ Pub-Rock for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
THE MUSICIANS:
Micheal Wark (Calchas): Vocals, Electric Guitar, Bass, and Mix.
Andy Mackle (Andy-bm): Drums, Percussion, and true “Bro.”
Be well all!
PS: Am I the only one who thinks that is actually FETER holding that over-sized beer glass? lol

Lyrics
A FEW TOO MANY
I.
What are YOU lookin’ at man? "I'm as jober as a sudge!”
"I never met a pub I didn't like."*
“Bartender, gimme one for the ditch...”
“I drink therefore I am.”**
And it’s alright!
1st Chorus:
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink.”
I heard ol’ Frankie say;
When they wake up in the morning,
that's as good as they'll
feel all day.***
Bridge:
“He was a wise man who invented beer.”+
“Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.”
“Lead me not into temptation. I can find the way myself.”
"Uh, I'll have the same thing as the gentleman on the floor..."
Yeah!
II.
“All hope abandon, ye who enter here!”
“I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
“Come the morning, my teeth will all be wearing sweaters.”
“I drink therefore I am.”
That’s for sure!
2nd Chorus:
“Relax. Don’t worry. Have a homebrew;”
says Charlie Papazian.
“To some it's a six-pack, to me...a Support Group.
Salvation in a can!”++
3rd Chorus:
“A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops,
you stir it around with a stick.
The kind of lubrication
to make your engine tick.”
------------------------------
*=Pete Slosberg
**=W.C. Fields
***=Frank Sinatra (paraphrased)
+=Plato!
++=Leo Durocher
”When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.”
