Persistent earworm alert XXXIX
For the past week and a half, the theme from "Brain Dead & Cooking," a cooking show on the St. Charles, Missouri public access channel, has stayed firmly in my mind. "Papa" Ray, the host of KDHX's "Soul Selector," composed the theme, and its harmonica part brings "Sweet Georgia Brown" to mind. The harmonica and vocals set the scene for friendly hosts Laura, Regi, and Fritzie to show viewers how to make various dishes. (Some of the shows are on YouTube, if you're so inclined.) I rarely cook, but I'm considering making bread pudding, thanks to that show; that theme just drew me in, so I feel like I should put some of what I've learned to use. Actually, I'll probably just buy some bread pudding, but it's good to be reminded there's another option.
