“I’m going to transcribe at least one of the “Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt”s for this page in the near future. ” “The Poor Man’s Friend” eh? Ry Cooder did it, some while back..

Sam, Yes, it sounds like the same disk. (Although there’s another disk with the same name listed on allmusic.com which has only one version of “Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt”, so caveat emptor.) I think that I’m going to transcribe at least one of the “Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt”s for this page in the near future.

Does the CD issue of “Get Right With God” have When God Dips His Pen of Love on it? And Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt, pts 1 and 2? Please say so. They were on the old LP issue of the same name back in the 80s.

Any post that starts with a quote from Donnie Darko is a-okay with me…funk or no funk…

I strongly recommend her highly-addictive tuna sauce for pasta. Yes, indeed! Many pleasant memories from my high carb days!

I’ve always been partial to the Blind Boys of Alabama when it comes to gospel. Especially, “This May Be the Last Time,” and their interpretation (as a musician friend taught me to say instead of “cover”) of that song about being a soldier in the Lord’s army. The whole Lord’s army thing seems to be a sentiment that most Christian fiction writers have definitely taken to heart—and extremes, as any wander through one of those Christian bookstores in the mall will show. But I digress. The Blind Boys are actually coming out with an album with Ben Harper soon. Harper, by the way, was the final (and possibly best) act at this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The duck recipe in that book is pretty good as well. The odd technique really does produce the crispest skin.

Yes – the chicken dish is one of the easiest of Hazan’s to prepare – nowhere near as fatladen as her usual, but just as yummy. I have yet to succeed in producing the dramatic-sounding ‘ballooned chicken’ effect that she claims is possible with this recipe tho’

Rob Humenik: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? Sorry, it just had to be said.

Ted, If it’s funk you’re in, check out The Best of Pulp Fusion, and cue up “The Jam” by Graham Central Station. That’ll cure what ails ya. The Marcella Hazan cookbook should be in every kitchen. I’ve made about two dozen recipes out of it, and all have been home runs. I strongly recommend her highly-addictive tuna sauce for pasta. As far as the gospel album is concerned: no “feel good” gospel collection is complete without The Swan Silvertones’ rendition of “Mary Don’t You Weep” or the James Brown/Rev. James Cleveland’s Choir rendition of “The Old Landmark” from The Blues Brothers soundtrack.

Great recipe, but I have to ask… Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
