Rock and Roll

In the studio most of yesterday day recording alternate tracks for new album, Swamp Daddy. Decided to put Chatto, who has every right to a share of the limelight, on the cowbell. Is it just me or do guitar straps tend to contract in the humidity? Mine has shrunk up two whole sizes. My D-finger is a bit puffy. One of the wonderful things about playing the blues, though, is that it really works up an appetite. Put me behind that mic for an hour or two and I’m ready to eat a low-calorie house! On the other hand, Solomon Burke, an old ‘back porch’ friend of mine, and a great influence on my vocal technique, says I’m now bigger than him, and that if they ever tried to put us BOTH in the R&B Hall of Fame, they’d need to take Elvis out.

Less is More

If you’ve never taken the time to think about this, now is the time: Less is more. The applications are endless, and for the serious dieter, far-reaching. Instead of a packet of sunflower seeds, you now have a bowl! Half a Cornish hen served dry easily becomes an entire fowl dripping with juice! As most of you know, I’ve never preached what I haven’t practiced, and so yesterday was a day of 'less is more.' Since I really feel on the verge of a benchmark in my dieting, Chatto has contacted the Fisher & Paykel people to find out if electronic locks can be installed on their refrigerators. It seems the obvious step to take. Waiting to hear back. Until then, let me share Yesterday’s Meals with you.
