Hat On, Drinking Wine will do its usual thing this Wednesday evening from 8-11 pm at Nick's Bar and Restaurant (124 Millbury St.). Eat German food, drink alcohol, talk, listen to music.

Request anything by Hat On, Drinking Wine and we'll play it.

Request something by Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Bob Dylan, the Pogues, the Jayhawks, Bob Marley, Gram Parsons, or the Decemberists, and we'll play the one (or more) we know by them.

Here's my favorite quote from the Bob Marley biography I'm reading right now: "Marley believed that the singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah."
