The Old Joanie Effort

When an individual knows that a certain task is, by all practical reasoning, impossible to complete, still makes a meagre attempt to complete said task out of pity or moral obligation.
Kory agrees to go to prom with Joanie to save her from going with a creepy kid named Stuart. Later that night, Joanie wants to put out but Kory knows he can't quite get it up. Still, he resigns to giving it the old Joanie effort.

Old Jazz Music

Some of the most intelligent music ever made by anyone ever it combines the talent and expertise of a classical symphony with the soul of a garage band and adds in an improvisational element which is equivalent of making up music on the go.

Most modern jazz is based around 70s style funk and is heavily influenced by classic rock which although when all separate are great things do not combine to make a viable music genre.

Many old school jazz musicians are household names, although it is becoming rarer and rarer to see a jazz CD or record in someones home. A few examples would be John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald.

This music was first started with the ragtime movement in the late 19th century where piano tunes such as the Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer by Scott Joplin were played in bars and saloons all over the country.

Soon thereafter a mixture of soul, gospel and French music formed in New Orleans and formed the famous New Orleans brass band type of music. A good example of this is "The Saints Go Marching In" by Louis Armstrong

These generally happy Dixieland songs coexisted with the blues until the great depression era when Swing Music and Big Band took hold. Swing and Big Band Music such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie were easily danceable tunes played for large audiences during the horrors of the Great Depression to relieve the tension of the times. This type of music persisted until the post WW2 era when musicians began making the greatest type of music for themselves

In the beatnik era of the late 40s thru 40s Bebop jazz took hold which was an incredibly fast and tough to play style meant to challenge the best of the Jazz musicians. In this period Jazz musicians received artistic liberation because now they formed quartets and quintets making music the challenge their mind body and soul.

The Last chapter of old jazz was about in the late 50s when smooth jazz took hold as music for intellectuals. Miles Davis and John Coltrane successfully switched over from Bebop to smooth and cool jazz in this era.
Examples of Old Jazz Music are too many to count but for starters, Scott Joplin, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastoris

Old Man bar

A bar whose primary clientele consists of older men, most of whom are married and go to an old man bar to get away from their wives. Most old man bars are spartanly furnished, and prices tend to be cheaper than average. There is a large overlap with "beer and shot" bars. Most old man bars are working class, as upper class men that age will congregate in country clubs or more upscale drinking establishments.
My unlce always goes to Jack's Tavern, but my aunt doesn't care because it's just an old man bar. He is not going to meet any women there.
