Roger J. said...: Thanks--BTW--if you want an interesting taste, take garden variety sage leaves, rinse them off and pat them dry, then fry for about ten seconds in hot olive oil--drain, dust with kosher salt, and enjoy. Makes a great antipasti.; 7/6/07, 9:43 AM

Can't pick the leaves at the Bot. Garden though.; 7/6/07, 9:48 AM

Hazy Dave said...: On the remastered Live At Leeds, Pete's introduction to "Young Man Blues" is included, where he mentions that (song writer) Mose Allison is referred to as a "jazz sage, and quite what that means I don't know..."
