Yes I have and frequently do! My moods are fickle and subject to change. Some nights are a flight of scotches and a cigar with jazz or other instrumentals. Also fire, lots of fire.

This is a fun one for a cigar around the fire. Believe it or not my 23 YO son recommended it to me!
In 1880, Johannes Brahms was informed that the University of Breslau wished to award him an honorary degree. The catch was that they expected him to compose a new symphony for them, to be performed at the award ceremony.
What Brahms composed for them, the Academic Festival Overture, was based on numerous raunchy songs that were well known the the university's students (and generally disapproved by the faculty). A touch of symphonic humor. To the stunned silence of the university faculty, the students at the performance cheered wildly for its closing melody—Gaudeamus Igitur—a Latin, beer drinking song popular among university students throughout Europe, and seldom sung in a sober state.
So, let us rejoice
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troublesome old age
The earth will have us.
The entire overture lasts only 10 minutes.
