Members Samilyn Posted February 1, 2017 Members Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ever notice how certain liquors makes you play different kinds of music.... or not? What is your match-up... or not??For me...Beer = Folk Oldies, Joplin, DylanWine = Traditional tunes (Scarborough Faire, Wild Mountain Thyme, etc)Booze (whiskey, cocktails) Classic RockBrandy = very mellow jazz What say you, Gents? Where does your music go when you imbibe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted February 1, 2017 Members Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well now. When I play in our local song circle type folk club - and I play my usual mix of traditional folk, Dylan, Cohen, acoustic stripped down other stuff - I imbibe a few pints of the several delicious draught real ales the pub has to offer. So I'm with you there. For wine and assorted spirits I usually go for jazz or renaissance / baroque choral music. So nearly with you there too. I don't listen to classic rock at all any more.

Members Idunno Posted February 2, 2017 Members Share Posted February 2, 2017 I talk big but drink small. Coffee - it's my constant companion and tune juice. I've been known to coax a beer or some down time-to-time now but don't pair it up with music. I relate it to lawn mowing more. Special times, I will hide behind a Bushmills and slow play reminiscences calling me down to take stock and ponder. Wine...may as well take a lude. Puts me in a no-play zone.

Members garthman Posted February 2, 2017 Members Share Posted February 2, 2017 PS. Though I have to admit that when more than a little wine or assorted spirits have been consumed I do occasionally end up back with Dylan or Cohen. Nostalgia, eh? Hard to resist.

Members Glenn F Posted February 3, 2017 Members Share Posted February 3, 2017 Not a drinker. I was in my yout' (sic), but that is long ago. Beer went well with the Stones and the Blues, but so did Champagne and Reefer. And rye whiskey. Black Velvet.....mmmm. As a matter of fact, I've found reefer goes well with almost every type of music that I like. Doesn't bother my blood sugar, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted February 4, 2017 Members Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm a drinking lightweight, but if I do have a few I seem to bust out Hey Hey My My or Norwegian Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted February 4, 2017 Members Share Posted February 4, 2017 The only booze that per se gets me in a guitar mood is bourbon. No idea why that is. Woodford's is especially inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you here, but do most of my coffee drinking in the morning. It will keep me up at night, which ain't a good thing when the 6 oclock alarm rings, sometimes earlier. That's the kind of life that will kill a man. A few beers here and there and I'm good. I went out last Fridays had had 2 very over priced beers. Probably could have bought a 12 pack for what the venue was charging. I like iced tea too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ9Nm_c3GVY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
