Hey Bobby, so glad you're doin much better. Now let's talk some Philly Groove up in here!! One of my favorites is Engine No 9, which you smoldered all over. How 'bout another of my all-time favs "You are My Sun Sign" by Nat Turner's Rebellion. That track in the bomb!!! got all this guitar-fuzz leakin out the speakers. Written by Joe Jefferson who wrote so many great songs for the Spinners and others. Whatchu know about that tune Bobby?

Yup it is a hell of a career move for me. A big gamble that is paying off so far & I'm loving it. Now onto the Clooty Dumplings - is that really a fair request!? I'm an audio engineer not a chef! I'm on the case though, if I can get you the ingrediants I will!
Look forward to communicating with you all in these forums if & when I can.

Hello Eli,
As the resident MONK here,( ask Russ or Ralph about that) I want you to know that there were many Masses and prayers offered for your intention from the Detroit area. Great to see you back. We missed you and all was not the same without you.
Now we have to pray in thanksgiving!
Pax,

Hey Bobby,
Welcome back Friend! I've been a bit busy and apologize for not calling. I'll catch up with you this weekend. I just went back to my real job after a 2 month vacation so I am adjusting to working again and the book load as well..(Thank goodness for that summer hiatus I get working in TV world)
I hope you and Vonnie are good..
I'll give a ring this weekend! I am so glad you are back here..
Vickie
By Carl Dixon London (62.31.32.130 - 62.31.32.130) on Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:13 am: |
Thanks John - I have a friend at work and his sister makes them for him in Glasgow, and he brings them down to me, here in London! It is my sledgehammer wit that always mentions the dumpling to new Scottish folk I meet, a sort of test. I know Bobby would be very interested in a clooty dumpling, so maybe our mission will be to provide him with one and we can enjoy it together in Philly one day ha ha. I actually found the ingredients on the web! Best of luck at Sigma. I am so jealous of you.

Is that you playing the sitar (or something that sounds like one) in the intro of Archie Bell & The Drells' "Here I Go Again"?

--Bobby, Great to hear you're feeling better
and back where you belong, with The Music.
Maybe you could incorporate bagpipes into
some new sounds, now that you have someone
from Scotland helping out. Lookout Rufus Harley.
Best wishes and success with your new life &
new ventures.

Welcome back Bobby,... reading these boards has not been the same since you went down. Please come on over to the Philly Soul group and say hello when you have a minute, you've been missed over there as well. Good to see you're back at Sigma,... now when is that Philly Archives disc coming out anyway?

Carl - I succeed!
First of all the correct spelling is "Clootie Dumpling" and there are two ways of making it, here's a full list of ingredients
for one of them
1 lb self raising flour, 4 oz fresh breadcrumbs
4 oz sugar, 4 oz shredded suet
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 apple (grated) 8 oz currants
12 oz raisins, 1/2 pint milk
1 tablespoon treacle
There ya go! Good luck if you attempt it, your a brave man!
Marilyn - bagpipes in Sigma! Now there's an idea for a hip-hop track! You trying to make nme homesick? I'm in central Pennsylvania just now and last night a local radio station played Rod Stewart & The Proclaimers - it felt like an Aunt's wedding reception all over again!
Cya guys, John

(drum roll) Bobby Eli!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone! I was at rest for the weekend, Y am still not ready to run the hundred yard dash as of yet but I am improving in the stamina department. The weather sucks and it feels more like the bayou of New Orleans than good ol, Philly and not conducive to a heart post op.
Anyhow, thanks again for the preyers and good wishes for I can fell the positive force from across the miles. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends who sincerely care.
By the way, I did use bagpipes on my Elis second coming album on a song called Hop Scotch.
I should redo it as Hip Hop Scotch!!!!
I am off to catch up on the rest of the forum.

What can I say guys and gals!! I am tickled BROWN that I am getting all this love and adoration.
Maybe I should have myself bronzed before it gets too late!!
I tried to get on line at the hospital but my oxygen cord wasn't long enough to reach the nurses station plus I looked like Howdy Doody with all of those wires and tubes connected to me and furthermore my heart rate would have escalated due to the laughter!!!
I became somewhat of a mini celebrity due to all of my phone calls and Bunny Sigler appearing like an apparition at the foot of my bed one Sunday morning on the way to church!!
One nurse asked me who writes my material because of my comedic sense and I said that I am preparing for my sit down act.
Anyway, I am at Sigma and I gotta go back in the studio. I will check in later.
