I feel terrible I haven't posted in so many days. My last post was about a breakfast I made over a week ago. As you may recall, I'm deep in the process of revising my masters thesis. As of tonight, I've finished revising the first act and now I'm tearing into the second. But my poor readers: what are you to do in the meantime? Tonight I posed a question to myself: what is worse for the Amateur Gourmet audience---feeling my silence or hearing me sing? I've decided that if it comes down to it you'd rather hear me sing. The deal is sweetened when you add my dear friend Lisa who is a far far better singer than I am. Here we are singing the song she and I sang when we first met each other over EIGHT YEARS ago. You see, she lived in my dorm and there was a piano downstairs and our friends were like: "Adam plays the piano! Lisa sings! They should perform for us!" And this was one of our favorite songs to do. Ladies and gentlemen, the inspirational RED RUBBER BALL.

Lisa and Adam....THANKS! What a pleasant treat to have such a beautiful duet sung to us. I am wondering though, was this recorded when you first met, or is this new...just for us? And is Red Rubber Ball original? Where is the Red Rubber Ball now? Will we see it on the pages of US Weekly? Is it the gagball for Tom/Kat? Anyway, it's fabulous and I would totally buy it on itunes....if you hadn't already posted it for free. Bless you both.

you need a guest poster, an auteur d'invité to fill some space while you're away.

I completely expected to cringe my way through this and instead thought it was sweet and funny and fab!

Thanks for sharing this lovely duet with us. I guess I'm the only person who reads this blog who's old enough to remember that "Red Rubber Ball" is not original but is an old Simon and Garfunkel song. Your rendition of it was truly divine.

Such talent. Such style. Such flair. And with loads of good taste to spare!

You're not the only one, mizburd--Red Rubber Ball, also done by The Circle (Cyrkle?). It's now pleasantly bouncing around in my head--I hope not for too, too long.

The Cyrkle was once the opening act for the Beatles. Nobody paid them any attention though, we too excited for the boys from Liverpool. Thanks for the pleasant reminder of a musical memory!

Ack! You're both right -- it was Cyrkle, not Simon and G., who recorded "Red Rubber Ball." Still a lovely duet.

Good job! Such fresh, innocent music takes me back... Thank you for the pick-me-up and best of luck on the thesis. I admire such academic dedication.

Impressive! It's amazing how quickly I'm falling for you....

I'm (mentally) trudging through my reading for class (proffers, the fifth amendment and white collar crime...fun stuff), seriously crabby and tired of being a law student...but then I find this heart-warming rendition of "Red Rubber Ball" and it makes me smile. Thanks for making my Sunday night better!
