thank you so much for your friendship and encouragement! I really appreciate you!
hope you are having a good day!
have you signed up for my email list at jaetchison.com? you'll get a free download of one of the new songs off my album, and it will make it easier for me to let you know new stuff that comes up and when I'm playing a show near you!
my record label tells me the free download offer is winding to a close soon, so I am hoping my friends will grab it today.

Thank you for adding me and letting me share my art and soul with you. I hope you're having a wonderful summer. "Don't just a stranger, just be strange. "
A shortened version fo "The local pub", which itself a contraction for the local public house. This does not always imply the nearest pub, just the nearest pub to which the author/speaker makes regular visits.
Go down the local, have a few pints, play some pool, watch the footie
1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.
2. Always toast before doing a shot.
3. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.
4. Buying a strange woman a drink is still cool. Buying all her drinks is dumb.
5. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails.
6. Never, ever tell a bartender he made your drink too strong.
7. If he makes it too weak, order a double next time. He'll get the message.
8. If someone offers to buy you a drink, do not upgrade your liquor preference.
9. Our parents were better drinkers than we are.
10. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to drink in a bar. Go to the liquor store.
11. Never complain about the quality or brand of a free drink.
12. If you are the bar's sole customer, you are obliged to make small talk with the bartender until he stops acknowledging you. Then you're off the hook. The same goes for him.
13. Never tip with coins that have touched you. If your change is $1.50, you can tell the barmaid to keep the change, but once she has handed it to you, you cannot give it back. To a bartender or cocktail waitress, small change has no value.
14. If you have ever told a bartender, "Hey, it all spends the same," then you are a cheap ass.
15. It's okay to drink alone.
16. Men don't drink from straws.
17. If you do a shot, finish it. If you don't plan to finish it, don't accept it.
18. Your songs will come on as you're leaving the bar.
19. Never yell out jukebox selections to someone you don't know.
20. If you think you might be slurring a little, then you are slurring a lot. If you think you are slurring a lot, then you are not speaking English.
