Is that the Milton Brown as in Milton Brown & his Brownies? Even

It's not whether you've been sober -- anyone can do that. But, as

"Been drunk and got others drunk."

Then maybe you have a future in the cinematic field. If you can only
play a five-string, we'll probably have to fit you out in clothes and
makeup like a febe and put you in a tree.
