First, let us address alcoholism, the most blatant and debilitating of your habits. It grieves us to see how chemically dependent you have become, and how you encourage (some underage) vulnerable college students to partake in your sinful routine.

...current, still tiny lounge scene--with its tailored suits, martini sipping and laid-back jazzy music--seeks to capture some of the style exemplified by Sinatra and other performers of the Big Band era. The swing scene, a close cousin, tries to focus less on the style and more on the music itself. One swing group, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, currently has a Top 40 CD.
