Half a glass of ice two shots of Jack and the rest coke.  "Thanks baby cakes that looks like it's going to hit the spot."  The lead guitar's and founder of the band said with a wide grin.  And just as the waitress was leaving he gave her the customary swat on the tush that most of them had come to expect from him.  Although there were a couple of the waitresses that he didn't know as well so these mostly only a grateful smile.
