Today’s lab track, recommended by MarlowePI, is a little bluegrassy bit of absurdity about a guy who decided that, instead of picking up his bible, he’d pick up another book. This led him to find a much greater truth about life. Enjoy. 🙂
Joy of Cooking
Old Man LuedeckeIn uncertain hours our forebears looked
To the more certain power of the Holy Good Book
They opened up a verse then they read out the Word
There was the voice of God and the answer that they heardAs for me I’ve a less oracular bent
Spend most of my time
Wondering where my time was spent
But in particular desperation on a Sunday afternoon
When all I held as good in life was in some random swoonI opened up a book, on the shelf near my Bible
Opened up a book for culinary survival
I took a look in The Joy of Cookin’
Joy of Cookin’, oh, why, oh?
If I’m not mistaken, the answer’s bacon
Answer’s bacon, oh, why, oh?So I went and got my frying pan and cooked about a pound
Me and my little wife and children sat us down
Grace was spoken in that bacon scent profound
All I had and lost was found

Fun! Reminds me that I need to start working on my nitrates + homemade bacon post…
Yay, you took my suggestion! But man, now I wish I’d updated my website within the past 4 years or so. It’s like getting surprise visitors while in your underwear.
Now this I really enjoyed. I have an unnatural fondness for the banjo and for songs that inspire sing-a-longs. Mind you, I’ve been a vegetarian for almost a decade and the only meat I really miss is bacon so that might have influenced me a wee bit. Well, sort of that is. What I actually miss is the experience I used to have eating bacon rather than the actual stuff itself. I had some about a year ago and it just didn’t do it for me anymore.
