Listers,
I'm impressed with y'alls innocence on this matter! "Straight, No Chaser"
IS a fantastic Monk piece. It is also a bar order. Usually happens around
1:30 am or for the serious drinkers 6:00 am ;) If you we're to order a shot
of Scotch without a beer -that's the idea. Sadly, this knowledge comes from
experience. Monk did his share of drinking so it's apropros he titled a
song that. Maybe I'll call one "One More".

peace,
R. Scott/West Coast Harem
