Comment:

My wife and I are helping a couple of friends host a scotch tasting this weekend. We call it "Scotch Sunday." Besides supplying several of the bottles, I figured it might be nice to make a mix as a party favor to accompany our spirited journey across Hibernia. Thus, my quick 'n' dirty attempt to slap together a bunch of songs related to scotch, Scotland, and just plain drinking. ("Deacon Blues" is there, if you're wondering, because of the line in the chorus that goes "drink scotch whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel.") Tracks 18-21 I've collectively called "Great Scots," simply because the artists are Scottish. Remember: if it's not Scottish, it's crrrrap!  [album art full size]

Well, this is all jolly splendid; but you realise it won't be truly enjoyable until twelve years from now....I can wait. For now I'll git me some of that sippin' whiskey.

Don't drink, but I am completely intoxicated. Incredibly well done from top to bottom.

I appreciate the sentiment, but for heavens sake spell it correctly.
WHISKY

Either spelling is acceptable, and the spelling I've used in each track title is the one used on the album cover.

Saabbhoy - 'Whiskey' refers to the Irish or American and 'Whisky' to the Scottish stuff. Pedantry aside, however - great job here.
