A round of eggnogs for everyone!

Peace to all, and to all, a hopefully happier 2011. But I’m not gonna hold my breath.

I will be receiving guests shortly so this is definitely my last post of the year. I remember with great fondness this night a few years ago in Hamburg as Bernhard’s guest, along with SKOL, Rick, Hamburger (and bun), Conchita, Annie, and fauxreal. It would be great to see any and all of you again.
all the best to all of you

Thank you b, it’s great to be back at the watering hole. We were all quite thirsty!
My only new year’s wish for MOA is that you keep a healthy number of open threads. I found some of the neatest articles that way.

Here is a Happy New Year link in gratitude to b and all who read and comment here. I am thrilled to be reading Moon of Alabama again. This page has a link to song recorded by Franco and OK Jazz around 1964, sung by Vicky Longomba. Scroll down the page and click on the play arrow on green underneath the word Quand.

a bit of recent verse:
it’s 2010 for a few more weeks
so gaily swig down those holiday drinks
and when thot bubbles up about who or why
exalt how we can merrily deny
every indication how mad we’ve become
to say of each loss that we have won
some equal trade as the noose gets tight
gaining safety for each buried right
each glorious right once exalted in speech
each civil fight won in the streets
is 6 feet under and choked of breath
scratching the lid of the coffin of death
and though we fiend for targets to blame
we have no memory of ancient names
and ancient battles still scraping swords
over claims of dirt for craven lords

Clearly it takes a great proprietar to maintain a great bar. Long live the Moon! And here’s a memoriam to Dr. Billy Taylor sung by Nina Simone.

…and Happy New Year to you Catlady. I wish we had the video of your debut at the Buenos Aires cafe with Jana!

Posted by: beq | Jan 1 2011 15:20 utc | 31

Dear beq
I did not mean to exclude you from the list of partiers at Hamburg. I thought I had everyone but soon after posting I realized I had made two mistakes, misspelling A Swedish Kind of Death and not listing you as being there.
hope you are well.

Posted by: dan of steele | Jan 1 2011 21:44 utc | 32

Thanks dos. I knew.
