BuDDy #27 - Banana Bread for BuDDy!

Length: 52:36

A sad occasion. Mr. Be's sweet doggie of many years, Maggie, passed away in the previous week, and BuDDy tries his clumsy best to provide some comfort. This show, #27, is dedicated to Maggie.

Just as he was getting rolling in this endeavor, a phone call and knock at the door and we're joined by a surprise (to BuDDy, anyhow) guest, Ms. Kate Manchester of Edible Santa Fe and other ventures, Edible Communities and Edible Low Country. With vast apologies and expressions of guilt for not having baked it herself, Kate brings some delicious banana bread, enjoyed by all.

But down to business: Kate is here to promote organic foods from the local foodshed. While promoting this in all-organic Santa Fe might be compared to hauling coals to Newcastle, or selling snow to the Eskimos (or bringing banana bread to BuDDy, for that matter!), Kate's reach is a little more internationale than just Santa Fe.

BuDDy comments that her magazine, Edible Santa Fe, is such a visual delight, even for someone who couldn't read (BuDDy can read, by the way), that she may be in the wrong business. Probably not, though, since she's been a chef for Steven Spielberg, Ed Bradley, Martha Stewart, Donna Karan, Andy Rooney, Al Gore and Bill Clinton (and that fella knows about food!)

"Convivium," "The Slow Food Movement" and other useful, interesting, exotic terms come up in our wide-ranging conversation.

Mr. Be inadvertently uses a word absolutely prohibited on BuDDy's family-oriented podcast, so now we'll have to beep it out . . .

The usual bonding and throat-smoothing effect of our customary "group spray" of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray.

We read together Chapter 4 of BuDDy's historical novel-in-progress, Lincoln, Twain and the Troubador, backed with the rollicking boogie-woogie piano of internet guru and former Santa Fean, Clay Cotton, from his fabulous CD, "Rough Stuff."  Clay has played with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and scores of others quoted on his web site.

BuDDy mentions that he's got a fabulous new (old) performance video, a song called "NEKKID," his all-time favorite, up on Jim Terr's video collection on YouTube.

Kate asks, in response to something or other, whether the girls are just standing in line to be on BuDDy's podcast, and before BuDDy can answer (affirmatively), Mr. Be says "Take a number," which gives us an opportunity to run the photo above.

NEW! Be sure to check out the complete list of songs played on past Podcasts.
