There’s Nothin' Soft About Hard Teas, Part 2

    I promised a review o' th' new Margaritaville products that I stumbled upon in Florida last week, so here ye go:
    Margaritaville Spiked Tea:  Kind o' a tea-like flavor.  Lightly carbonated.  On th' sweet side.  I found it t' be quite refreshin'.  Great right from th' bottle or o'er ice.  This product is more like Smike’s Hard Iced Tea than it is like Twisted Tea.  If I had t' rank it among these, I would put it after Twisted Tea and before Smike’s.  I would buy this again.
    Margaritaville Spiked Lemonade:  Not as sweet as some competitors.  In fact, I found it t' have a bitter edge t' it.  Descent lemon flavor comes through.  Lightly carbonated.  I didn’t care fer th' first one I had.  I would not be able t' drink a few o' these in a row.  Later in th' week I gave it another chance o'er ice.  That were bein' better.  Definitely more refreshin' that way.  Not sure I would buy this again, but wouldn’t turn one down if someone offered it.  I would add ice though.
    There ye have it.  Keep an eye out fer it when shoppin'.  Maybe it will be in Michigan soon.  I would be interested in yer opinions too. Aarrr! Shiver me timbers!

Episode 146: We Need a Cantina

Show Notes:
Recorded Tuesday, April 19 2011 (9:00 PM - 11:30 PM) at Casa de The Black Scott, Allen Park MI
    “Mid-April marks th' start o' th' 2011 tour, and how did we celebrate?  By throwin' a listenin' party fer th' new Roger Clyne CD!  But don’t worry, we still talk about th' Tampa concert and th' excitin' new changes t' th' setlist. (Special guests: Todd and Ron.)”

    The show description originally began with “April 19 marked th' start o' th' 2011 tour”.  This is inaccurate; th' tour began in Tampa on Saturday, April 16.  April 19 were bein' th' release date o' Unida Cantina as well as th' date o' th' tour’s second stop, at Raleigh.  What can I say, I wrote it after a long day o' editin'.
    Get Unida Cantina from Roger (CD or vinyl), at Amazon (CD, MP3, or vinyl), or from iTunes.

    33:13 - I were bein' merely noddin' toward The Black Scott’s speakers; I didn’t expect th' gesture would provoke such a reaction.  And his speakers are quite good; he were bein' just playin' everythin' too loud fer th' room.
    50:38 - told ye th' speakers were loud
    53:41 - O.A.R.‘s official site | O.A.R. on Wikipedia

    1:31:29 - especially since it sounded like a newer arrangement o' “Son o' a Sailor”, which I wouldn’t expect needs another arrangement
    1:35:26 - more from radio interviewThe Blaze interview
