To Go with a Drink

Matt, an old bartender with a lot of mileage and a taste for bourbon, reflects on his life in tales shared with friends and family in the twilight of his life. For the young, many of the stories are of a world now gone. For some older audiences, Matt is reflecting times they lived through without noticing the changes. His tales may take place in a few towns, but Matt is distinctly non-Metro-centric in his world view. Depending on your point of view, Matt may be either one of the last honest chronicler of his era or the personification of the unreliable narrator. His tales are, by turns, eclectic, esoteric, exotic, enigmatic, chimeric, almost erotic and mystical, with slanted glances to a fickle view of karma. Detectives, dancers and doves share pages with con men, warriors, and mud wrestlers. What could go wrong? As with most stories told by bartenders, they are To Go With A Drink.
