An EP (short for extended play) is a musical recording that contains more music than a single, but is usually too short to qualify as a full studio album or LP. - wiki

David Shortell:

Boyce and Hart also wrote a song for the previous Matt Helm flick (Murderers' Row) called ""If You're Thinkin' What I'm Thinkin'".
It's performed by Dean Martin's son's group, "Dino, Desi & Billy"!

I enjoy Saranac Ginger Beer in my Dark & Stormy's.

Goya is a decent American one but Idris "fiery" is best.

"Ginger Apple Cider" by Aaron Burr Cidery (local to Hudson Valley) makes a dry natural version of ginger beer. A bit pricey, but it's not sweet at all, about 8% alc. and tastes like ginger beer before America grew back their baby teeth (or obsession w/ sweets.)
  12:15pm
Stefan Dz:

Ginger beer? Have you ever tried plain old Goya Ginger Beer? One of its active ingredients is capsacin, the chemical extract from chili peppers them their heat. It's thirst quenching but it has a strong bite distinctive from European style ginger beers. Highly recommended for a hot summer day.
  12:16pm
Stefan Dz:

That should have read "that gives them their heat."

Jacco Gardner and his band played an excellent set this past week here in Tucson. The band did a nice job replicating the baroque psych pop stylings of his new disc 'Hypnophobia'. Heady stuff.

I love that johnny hurricane@ star club live version of sneakers. I think it might have been you mike that got me hip to that one....

Snortley:

Yes, Reed's. Made with lots of natural ingredients. Many different versions and flavors. I like to make shandy by mixing Red Stripe with their Raspberry Brew.

You can really appreciate what a great guitarist Syd Barrett was in this song.
  12:50pm
Stuart Rose:

And what a melody make ole' Syd was.
How many songs were we deprived of when Syd wandered off.

David Shortell:

I believe David Gilmour was the guitarist on that Rick Wright song.
  12:54pm
fredr:

I stand corrected David. It was the flip side of Julia Dream which was sung by D Gilmour. Sorry for that!
  12:55pm
Stuart Rose:

Yikes, I think you're right, David.
This isn't a Syd song, and the atmospheric guitar does sound like Gilmore's typical sound.
  12:58pm
Stuart Rose:

Yikes, David, you're right. Always in the mood to give Syd credit. It did have that Gilmour guitar sound, spare and dreamy.

Didn't Wright also pen San Tropez?Another mellow beauty.
