The subtitle ("A Salute to New York's Bouzoukee Casbahs") made this one irresistible to me for posting purposes. You should grab a copy just for the "hip" liner notes. Apparently there is a much-more-difficult-to-find volume two, as well, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for that.

Cold Beer Goodbye

One Show, One Night, Good God!

Here's what will allegedly be the final version of Cold Beer Hello from The V-Roys NYE 2011 show, with Gentlemen Jeff Bills showing off his two-hand tapping technique.

Here's my audience recording from the 10th row. (no, that's not me "whooo!"-ing all the damn time - it was the guy next to us.)
