Scotch: Bowmore 17 yr old
Musician: Art Tatum
Song: Tiger Rag
Present: Patrick (host), Ian, Aaron
It was going to be a Whisky & Jazz just like any other. Then, maybe an hour before we were to start, John calls and says there is a family issue and that he can't make it. He wouldn't give us any details, but we went ahead with our plans since Pat already had dinner in the oven.
John is the keeper of the book we read from. Since he failed to join us this evening, we had to make due with information we could find on the internet about Art Tatum and Bowmore 17yr. We may not have been as astute at finding the relationship between the whisky and jazz as Hans Offringa is, but we still learned a good bit. John eventually sent us a copy of the pages from the book, but that wasn't until we were done with the bottle of Scotch.
The three of us had finished the bottle by the end of the night. Eventually Aaron decided he should leave. As he stood up he swayed a little, then made his way towards the door. When he dropped his keys and bumped into the wall, he decided he should stay a little longer and have some water. Eventually, his girlfriend came to pick him up. When Aaron and his gf arrived back at his house, Aaron refused to take a shower to clean the smoky whisky smell off of him. He slept on the couch that night.
Oh, and we later found out that John and his wife had just found out they were pregnant. That's why John was absent. Congratulations, John!
Also, I'm sorry the pictures are kind of lame. I try to enjoy hanging with the guys instead of spending time taking pictures. At the time I took the pictures, I didn't know there was going to be a blog.
