Vodka (Original)

[launched]

Thanks, Henster, Nigel, Cuth. A song of circumstance, really...

BTW, how did you make out in our winter hurricane last week?

There are still some without power. I got mine back late Sat night but lost it on Thu. This was a worse disaster than the ice storm last year. Gigantic pine trees on the ground everywhere, and debris all over the place. And the strange thing is that a lot of the power poles had broken tops, sheared maybe 3-4 down. How do you fix that?

But I still feel lucky as other parts of the world have it rougher than we do.

I hear yah, bro...I spent all day Friday and most of Saturday pumping the water out of my basement. Losing the power (and therefore the heat and hot water, too) sucks enough, but not having a viable backup for the electric sump pump made it that much worse.

I am a little sadder but wiser today. Next big purchase: a portable generator (never thought I'd need one, living in 'the city', as it is...)

Yeah, those are a lifesaver, really. That and the vodka...

Great song again, Mark! I love those chords you played and so clear sounds. RPM challenge...was that "make an album in one month"?

Hate Vodka, love the song...cool chord progression and great vocals...now do a song about Alexander Keith's Pale Ale!

[Gritter]

Loads of fun...cheers to you Mark. Some fine songwriting and playing!

Hey, I really enjoyed the melody rise over the cool open sounding chords in the verse. I've wanted to play with more harmony lines, and you really show how effective it can be right here. I was a vodka guy back in college (and in H.S. before that.. .you know, less smell.)

Great song, good vocal delivery

[Pipes]

have you  ever tried the Polish vodka?
 I  like mad dog (the one with tabasco and rasberry syrup)..anything with a bit of peppery spice is cool> (contradiction in terms)

cool..just like your song demonstrates
