Saturday, July 5, 2008Yow – long time no be here. Lots of notes typed in specific show pages, but nothing here on the blog. Today’s show was the “Summer” show, of course.
Summertime, Summer Breeze, Summer Wind, Heat Wave, Summer in the City (Hot Damn!) . . .
Played many versions of Gershwin’s “Summertime”. Did you know that it was originally known by the name “Moontitties”? Wait! Maybe this is a Wikipedia hoax! Any schmuck can make that stuff up for at least a little while before it is corrected . . . and I read it on the air! Whoops. Well, maybe that's a for-real story - time will tell.
Had a pretty good time with the show, despite almost being late due to a needed-to-be-reloaded printer driver. (See: re-installation of OSX).
I whined – on the air – about being hungry. I asked anyone passing by to leave a bag of hot buttered groat clusters on the porch and knock on the door.
I whined again (of course changing the reference to ‘goat custards’) during another break and it payed off (paid off?) – Hope Gaines came over to the studio with a plate of blueberry pie and a couple of peaches. I love this town.
It started out being one of those shows that I didn't feel really sure about, but turned into the kind of show that leaves me with a little buzz. That is why I do this. That, plus the huge $$$.

Well, thanks for making me laugh out loud one more time, Mike. And do you have a recipe for goat custard - or even groat clusters??
Well . . . maybe we should ask Hope if she's got a recipe! She did a damn good job with the pie.
Groats, peas, beans and barley grow... good post.
Mares eat oats, and does eat oats; little lambs eat ivy.
I'd eat groats - if there wasn't any pie.
Meanwhile, I'm becoming more convinced that I was snookered by a WikiHoax! Is my face red!
