So, there is a FINE syndicated Blues radio program which plays in metro Chicago, "Blues From The Red Rooster Lounge."

DJ, the Red Rooster has been at this for a long time and does know his stuff. Oh, my he do.

Anyway, there came this song, "Drink'n Wine Spodee-odee" which piqued a bit of interest. Lo and behold, reading Jack Kerouac's On The Road, Sal Paradise has some wine spodiodi with a just-met colleague, traveling in the South.

Songwriter Champion Jack Dupree (or Sticks McGhee?) calls it, "...a shot of port wine, a shot of cheap bourbon, a shot of port wine, sweet blanket for all that bad whiskey." 'Think the song was covered by Hank Williams and Jerry Lee Lewis, too.

It ain't single malt Scots whusky, but it was fun to try. Anyone else?
