Help us fill our prescription for more cowbell!

Oh, and if you're cowbell skills are rusty, take a look at this video:

Songs played:
The Rolling Stones "Honky Tonk Woman"
Beastie Boys "Hey Ladies"
War "Low Rider"
Nazareth "Hair of the Dog"
Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper"

There were WAY too many songs to pack into the 9:30 Coffee Break today! We'll have to revisit this theme soon...
