Send us Fan MailThere are some terrific literary references throughout the musical canon of Rock n' Roll. This month, Three Drinks In takes a look at some of their favorites. 

Send us Fan MailThe artistic drum beats differently in each and every one of us. For some, it finds it’s rhythm in the carving of wood or the molding of clay or the capturing of an image or the raising of offspring. For the wordsmith, abstract symbols on a page are gathered to form a word which combines with others to import meaning which then become the backbone of the song or the poem and the listener becomes the vessel into which beauty and meaning are whispered into life. So much about which to write… so many topics… so much beauty… and yet this episode  we turn our bloodshot eyes towards the songs that salute the innocuous pleasures of getting high on some decent weed. That’s right folks, if you were looking for some small morsel of intellectual nourishment, oops! This month we celebrate the songs that extol the wonders of weed. 

Send us Fan MailThe absolute best conversation ever shared by two aging beer drinkers in a warm and inviting Tap House regarding the need for an empathetic, educated, and enigmatic guiding hand when it comes to the selection of appropriate, yet meaningful music to be used before, during, or after a wedding ceremony. You didn't ask for it... but, by the powers invested in me... you got it. Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailWe all like a good story, don't we? Songwriters are no different... the best ones can paint a picture with their words and music in a way that transports us away from some of the things we might want to leave behind. So join the boys today as they discuss some of their favorite songs that tell a great story. Thanks for listening.Our PLAYLIST

Send us Fan MailWhen the season starts to turn toward the longer nights and shorter days, we choose to battle back with some musical "medicare." This episode splits down a couple of pathways. Jerry leans into the songs that most dealt with references to the fall season, BillyBobb not so much. Instead, he chose to pick all of his favorite songs that incorporate the word "MOON" in the title or the content. Still, in all, it has made for a great podcast. One in which we think everyone can find a smile.Enjoy... and thanks for the listen. Here's the link to the playlist.060 Moonlight Madness Playlist

Send us Fan MailThe boys try to pin down what exactly constitues a signature song and come up with a random listing of what those songs might be for a variety of artists. To expand upon the topic, we have included our companion playlist on Spotify. Here's the link:SIGNATURE SONGS PLAYLIST

Send us Fan MailWe borrowed the title from some traditional music (thank you Jery Garcia and friends), but the title tells the story. This month's episode features tunes that deal with the prognosis of aging at various stages in life. When we are younger, the songs are about the great possibilities of life. As we age, the story becomes less about the end of the trip and more about the journey itself. So sit back and enjoy another hour or so of banter with two of your audio buddies who may or may not be OLD & IN THE WAY.Here's the playlist for Episode 58: Old & In The Way

Send us Fan MailRunning from the law is this month's theme. BillyBobb and Neighbor Jerry explore a variety of songs that deal with being on the wrong side of a sticky situation. There are plenty of songs to move this discussion right along, so hopefully you will find one or two that serve to entertain your musical senses. Thanks for joining us.

Send us Fan MailThe boys at Three Drinks In are taking things to an all new level. Oh, don't worry... we will still offer the usual ridiculously amateurish viewpoints of two retired dudes living in their musical past on our monthly program drops. However, something new is here for you, our loyal listeners.In an unscheduled fashion, we will be dropping episodes that zero in on some of the specific musicians that pop up around the Des Moines music scene. We are calling these special shows, Des Moines Deep Dives.On our maiden voyage, we sat and spoke with Anne and Dave Ducharme-Jones about their backstory and their music. Along the way, we gained more insight into some of the work they have done behind-the-scenes to help Des Moines become such a vibrant live music scene. Grab a beverage and sit back. We hope you enjoy this little venture into something different.Thanks for listening.
