They just sat there on the shelf. Nothing was ever poured into them. Nothing was ever sipped out of them.
Lonely and useless, their crisp glaze began to crack. They bemoaned their state intensely and longed for someone to hold them and fill them with cool ice cubes and fresh fruit juices. But no one ever did.
One day, three of them escaped the confines of that dusty shelf where they had become "crazed" .. that state of being where the shiny glaze is cracked to near uselessness.
These mugs found their voice and found that many of their kind were looking for just that voice.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
