Drip, drop, drip, drop: The steady trickle of drinking songs begins today...

Hey folks! Thanks for all of your wonderful drinking-song suggestions (many of which are not yet in my collection.)

I had been planning to put together one big post of drinking songs for St. Patrick's Day, but that idea was too daunting. So instead I'll just let them trickle out one or two per day from now until the 17th. Cheers!

Let's start off with a bang. This one, from 1959, might be the greatest drinking song ever recorded:

Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) (buy)

Hey Frank: I've been there brother...

This evening's selection is best enjoyed with two glasses of Jack Daniel's on the rocks, but Irish Whiskey will also work.

Frank relaxin' with his best friend.
Be sure you come back for more tomorrow...
