2 minute steep. Smoke on the Water (live) blasting. I’m ready. I love the dark chocolate smell of the dry leaf. The wet leaf has a good black tea scent but is slightly smoky, and I am nervous. This is my third time brewing this. The first time, I greatly disliked the first cup (ok I hated it) and loved the 2nd and 3rd. The second time, I tolerated the first cup. Today I get it. I can honestly say I am enjoying this. Smoke is still the big flavor, but there are a lot of other interesting things going on here. So much different than my first impression. Lighter. Smoother. Before finishing the cup I have already shifted gears and am listening to Emmy Lou Harris – Smoke along the tracks, off the live at the Ryman CD. Good fit. Really glad I didn’t have to play the Platters – Smoke gets in your eyes. Ha. Ready to commit and up the rating.

guess what’s in my head now….ahh yes i’m chanting like Beavis and Butthead
Smoke on the Water….the only bass line I learned to play in college. Anytime hubby has the Gibson Ripper out, I have to play my riff!
Oh, and EmmyLou and I went to the same college! Way different years, though!
Emmy Lou – that’s what angels sound like. Someone mentioned Inna Gadda Da Vida in another review, that’s the riff I play to clear my head when I can’t remember the song I am supposed to be playing (make sense?) and it works. I play a Parker NiteFly.
Ha ha that would be me who mentioned In a Gadda Da Vida…I guess thats karma right :-)
Great minds think alike. Of course you realize I will have to listen to all 17:05 minutes of this tomorrow. Far out man.
See if you can find Emmy singing “Another Pot O’ Tea” … so soothing!
Trying to locate an internet ‘radio’ version that will actually play. No success yet.
