I was waiting to hear dueling fiddles between you and Jordan... by the by, I think one guy was actually dancing the time warp to the tune of Vincent Black Lightning.

I'm partial to single malt scotches and bands. Aged ~30 years is about my limit... mix with ca. 1999 bluegrass hippie funk, stir in a little zappa, and serve hot in front of an acoustic nightmare plate glass window.
