Bourbon Music Tasting 25

 It's National Bourbon Day, so here's a local.


There's one song in particular that jumps in my head at the mere mention.


I do love John Lee Hooker's original as well, but the intro with George is one of my favorite things ever.

"Everybody funny.  Now you funny too."

There are a ton of whiskey songs, but bourbon is a specific category - it has to be at least 51% corn mash to classify. It must be aged at least two years in a charred oak barrel to be considered "straight bourbon whiskey."

And it definitely originated from Kentucky.









Cheers!

Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics
