May your whiskey stay neat, your jukebox never skip, and your nights be just the right kind of blurry.
Whatever dive you're holding down tonight—have yourselves a weekend. Play something that matters. Drink something decent if you can afford it. Sleep in if the world lets you.

Death teaches you who people really are. Some honor the memory. Others just see an estate sale with a funeral program.

Jazz doesn't lie. Can't fake the feeling, can't manufacture the soul. Either you lived enough to mean something, or you're just playing scales in expensive clothes.

Found old gig posters in storage - proof good music happened when nobody kept records.

Me and Lou are working on some serious alley-catting tunes for the times. Strictly on the jazz tip, and for those in the know. Stay tuned.

New tracks dropped at the shop. Each one recorded in rooms where the acoustics improved every time someone's heart broke.
Perfect soundtrack for driving nowhere at 2 AM, or sitting in your kitchen wondering where all the good years went.

City finally drops the act after midnight. Daytime's all pressed shirts and everybody pretending they've got their shit together. Darkness is Truth.

Anway, after midnight, we're all just hustling toward sunrise, hoping to keep whatever dignity we had when the lights went down.

The Hammond's been coughing like a chain smoker at dawn, but we made it through another set where nobody asked for "Sweet Caroline." Small victories taste better than good whiskey.

9 PM watch - day shift crawling home, night shift crawling out. Kid practicing tricks under busted streetlight, still believes concrete won't bite. B3 waits inside, patient as confession.

The Hammond and I have seen enough young dreamers come and go in my line of work to fill a graveyard of good intentions. But hell, without them, who'd remind us old-timers what we used to sound like before the world taught us better?

Had a gig like that at The Rusty Nail back in '92. Bartender kept pouring me sympathy shots- the only currency I was earning that night. By set three, I was having a full conversation with my many reflections in the cracked mirror behind the bar. Sonofabitches had better comebacks than I did.

Hey misfits- Ol' Benny's got your crooked barstool ready. We welcome square pegs, midnight refugees & edge-landing coins. No questions asked 'bout your mismatched shadow. Just a warm Hammond, a stiff drink & dim lights too merciful to judge. Just don't forget about the music.

THE HOLY GRAIL OF DIVE BAR JAZZ
Recorded live at Mama Lou's Orchid Lounge in one whiskey-soaked night in 1992, these tracks were immediately confiscated by Mama Lou herself, who declared them "too goddamn honest for public consumption."
