Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack

The inimitable Mr. Cohen...


Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows (Full lyrics here)
Well not everybody wants a box o' chocolates and a long-stemmed rose.  I'll settle for a couple o' beers and a cigar outdoors on the verandah.  Coz it's a BEAUTIFUL day.  See?


Ah, tee shirt weather... at LAST.

  1. Thanks for this, Buck. Cohen is a poetic and lyrical master.

    74! Wow. Hope that comes this way soon.

  2. Ah luvs me some Cohen too. My all-time fave album of his is Songs of Love and Hate. But as much as I like this song, by him I prefer Concrete Blond's version--especially in their dynamite vid. Hit YT and check it out!

    1. I should have been more specific. Hit the vid w. the most views--the one timed@4:40 and with the window view--should be first one at top of offering versions..

    2. That's a worthy take on the song and ya GOTTA love Ms. Napolitano's interpretation. That said, I still think Mr. Cohen's version is the best. It's pretty hard to improve upon the original, innit?

  3. Your weather ... ***sigh***. As I gaze out my window at snow that has been falling steadily since yesterday afternoon and is now up to 18 inches with at least 2-3 more to come...and the prediction was 3-6 inches. I do love New England but this year - I'm done. Enough already.

    1. I sympathize, Kris. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that. As I've said before: we get just enough snow to remind why I don't live Up Nawth any longer.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
