It's faithful enough to the original but has that extra Ben Folds kick to it (is it the horns?)<BR/><BR/>But I'm probably wrong. Because Anonner (We're buds. He calls me Jamesy. I like it.) has heard some pretty bad pieces of dreck in his lifetime. So, for this to be the WORST and for him to come right out, under his own real name, and tell you so, man, this song must suck.James!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01033478051894675159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32249420.post-91367529550239516402008-09-19T21:31:00.000-05:002008-09-19T21:31:00.000-05:00adam, i will check out that book. it looks interesting.<BR/><BR/>julie, i will try that out. seems simple enough to work.<BR/><BR/>anonymous, i feel so ashamed for putting up a song I like in my own blog.

It took me from being someone who could follow a recipe to someone who could cook - about half of it is about food, and shopping, and combinations, and taste, and the second half is recipes full of alternate suggestions and things, and he writes beautifully and it's beautifully illustrated.adamhttp://www.pretendinglifeislikeasong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
