when was the last time you heard blackout by the scorpions? hello everyone! i hope you're doing well. i am very excited because later today, i'm going to get some new pots and pans, a spice rack and some knives. yes, i'm going to start cooking. a long time ago, i was the cook. when i was married, i made dinner. i picked up a couple of cooking magazines with lots o recipes in them when i was at the grocery store yesterday. i also picked up the scorpions' album, blackout, for just $5! keep your eyes open when you're at the grocery store, there are some good deals there! hey! if you have any great recipes, send them to me. please. thank you. my guest for episode 114 is the super-talented and very sweet, elijah ford. he's just released a new album, elijah ford and the bloom, ashes. it's the second solo effort from elijah and explores more of his pop/rock side. elijah told about making the album, growing up in rock and roll (his father is marc ford from the black crowes), playing in his dad's band, marc ford fuzz machine, then going on to play with ryan bingham, being in the movie, "crazy heart", winning an oscar and a grammy, endless touring then coming home, making solo albums and getting engaged. the whole time, he's been an inspired artist and a grounded human being. he's really cool. i hope you enjoy our conversation. i sure did. ciao! -jg
