Champagne When I’m Thirsty

So last night I dreamed that I went fishing in the Jémez with Muddy Waters.  Howlin’ Wolf and BB King were along, but I was mostly hanging with Muddy.  He loaned me his Pocket Fisherman, and I pulled in some beautiful blue-and-gold butterfly fish, which is not exactly what you expect from a New Mexico mountain stream.

Muddy kept going off to liberate people who had been confined in a hospital for political reasons, but I wasn’t a part of that operation because I was in charge of fishing.

The whole time he had this beatific smile under his pencil mustache.

We continued hooking butterfly fish and liberating political prisoners till the phone rang and woke me up.  Fucking phone.

So, to bring the dream back tonight, here’s Muddy Waters singing “Champagne & Reefer,” with harmonica played by Little Walter (no relation).

Do a little celebrating this weekend, why don’t’cha?
