[LeSamourai]

13. Dithyramb - (n.) a wild choral hymn of ancient Greece, especially one dedicated to Dionysus

Did I use that right?

Day 13 - Dithyramb
Teddy Pendergrass - Life Is a Song Worth Singing

Ole Teddy is plenty wild, even without the help of Dionysus. Though this album would be a nice soundtrack to a glass of wine and the presence of someone special.
