High Lonesome, with a hint of Sichuan peppercorn

I chose this video to show my students in the "Culture and the Media" classes that I'm teaching, and thus got to watch it five times this week. Bill Monroe (the father of bluegrass music, in case you were wondering), is up there on the list of My Favorite People of All Time that Make America Super Great. This video shows him in his mid-eighties, and you should stay tuned till the end to see him dance a little jig in the last number he performs. Oh, and the sound of mourning doves in the background about two minutes in made me homesick each time... sigh.

Also showed them this video below, which should be fairly self-explanatory. These folks are cookin'!
