    Whoah, I decided to upgrade from Jack Daniels to Jameson's last week, and it has indeed been quite an interesting week, let me tell you all that. If I was still a teenager the lyrics below would fit last week perfect. But, these days the lyrics have to ride alongside the effects of liquor......A LOT of liquor!! Anyhow, here's another cool antique/vintage piece of mine. It is a silver & glass claret with insert from Italy. I've been told this is a wine server, but I use this beauty for Mint Juleps or "Paradise Brand" ice tea. I gotta say, this piece is quite becoming! =)

    "A Horse With No Name"

    On the first part of the journey
    I was looking at all the life
    There were plants and birds and rocks and things
    There was sand and hills and rings
    The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
    And the sky with no clouds
    The heat was hot and the ground was dry
    But the air was full of sound

    I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la ...

    After two days in the desert sun
    My skin began to turn red
    After three days in the desert fun
    I was looking at a river bed
    And the story it told of a river that flowed
    Made me sad to think it was dead

    You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la ...

    After nine days I let the horse run free
    'Cause the desert had turned to sea
    There were plants and birds and rocks and things
    there was sand and hills and rings
    The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
    And a perfect disguise above
    Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
    But the humans will give no love

    You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la ...
