Prior to his appointment as California State Librarian in 2014, Greg Lucas was a longtime journalist, covering California politics for The Los Angeles Daily Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle and even Capitol Weekly. Much of his 20 year run at The Chron was spent in or around the Capitol, covering the legislature or the Governor, or kibitzing with other reporters. Oh, how things have changed.If the Dome is the most iconic part of the Capitol building in Sacramento, its heart was The Annex, an unfussy and businesslike addition that was begun in 1949 and completed in 1952. The Annex housed nearly all legislators' offices, the Governor's Office, and Room 1190 - where every governor from Earl Warren to Gavin Newsom has held regular Press Conferences. This month marks the end of an era as wrecking crews began the demolition of the Annex in preparation for a new, expanded Capitol Annex to be built in its place.In this episode Lucas joins us for a wide-ranging discussion that includes his memories of The Annex, the fraternal culture that prevailed in the building decades ago, the changing nature of political media coverage, the role the Schwarzeneggers played in reimagining the Capitol, and a look at the nature of Democracy itself.And, as always we tell you Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.Episode Notes:1:27 Memories of the Annex5:27 Seating arrangements7:37 Jerry Gilliam on Pat Brown9:40 New Annex origin story: Arnold Schwarzenegger12:18 Maria Shriver's influence16:27 The Doghouse19:22 The fraternity22:30 Uncle Frank23:40 Sen.

Mike and I had a great time talking to Bill Summers (who was in Herbie Hancock's band The Headhunters)!  We talk about various drums, his first meeting with Herbie Hancock, and the famous sound Bill created for one of the best known Jazz songs ever ... called Watermelon Man... Bill even demonstrates for us how the sound was created. About Bill: During the 1990s, Summers played with Los Hombres Calientes along with co-leader of the group, trumpeter Irvin Mayfield and Jason Marsalis.  However, Summers has a much longer musical career, often working behind the scenes on film scores for various movies such as The Color Purple and the television miniseries Roots with Quincy Jones. He also played with Herbie Hancock during The Headhunters years, and is mentioned in passing by the liner notes of The Headhunters' 2003 release Evolution Revolution as contributing to that recording.   Check out the Headhunters newest album (sections of 4 of the new songs can be heard on our podcast) THE HEADHUNTERS - Speakers in the House released in November 2022: Speakers In The House is the legendary jazz-funk ensemble's first new album in 11 years. Co-lead by percussionist Bill Summers and drummer Mike Clark with support from NEA Jazz Master Donald Harrison on alto saxophone, The Headhunters latest studio effort arrives just in time to celebrate this American music institution's 50th anniversary in 2023, having formed around Herbie Hancock's classic recording, Head Hunters, in 1973. An eight-track set available on Ropeadope Records, highlights from Speakers In The House include the New Orleans' second-line grooves of "Rocking At The Mole House," the world music-influenced jazz-fusion of "Kongo Square" and a modern post-bop re-imagination of the classic Headhunters' composition "Actual Proof," first released on their 1974 album, Thrust. Joining Summers, Clark and Harrison for the recording are keyboardist Stephen Gordon and bassist Reggie Washington plus special guests Jerry Z on organ, One Drop aka Scott Roberts on drums, Fode Sissoko on Kora and Ashlin Parker on trumpet. ******** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site) Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see 3 short video segments from our interviews.  Just search "know good music".   Thank you for listening! - Jim  COPYRIGHT CLAIM: The songs : "WE CALL IT THE BOX" by Bill Summers & Summer Heat / "OVER THE BAR", "STOOP", "STOP WATCH" and "ROCKIN' IN THE MOLE HOUSE" by The Headhunters used with permsission by Greg Lucas

As the diplomatic thaw between the United States and Cuba continues, new opportunities for Americans to visit Cuba are opening all kinds of doors. In an incredible stroke of luck, Louisiana Eats host Poppy Tooker had the opportunity to join the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on their landmark visit to Cuba for the Havana Jazz Festival.

We begin with a conversation with Greg Lucas, Development Director and of the Preservation Hall Foundation and Tour Manager to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Throughout their tremendous week in Havana, the iconic ensemble engaged in multiple education programs and neighborly activities designed to promote a meaningful exchange between two cities that share a lot of musical connections. Then, we spend a memorable evening in Central Havana at the Paladar San Crist bal with Peter Sanchez, co founder of Cuba Tours and Travel. Peter tells us about the restaurant revolution taking place within the walls of paladares, or eateries run by self employed Cubans. The next day, we take a whirlwind tour of Havana with our reliable guide Viviana Rives, who takes us through downtown farmers markets, a chocolate museum, a rum house and finally a tobacco farm, where we learn to roll our own cigars. We also experience Cuban food traditions old and new, exploring the island s flourishing organic agricultural system with a visit to El Paraiso, a hilltop farm located in Vi ales, a small town west of Havana. The organic farm doubles as a restaurant, which farmer Wilfredo Garcia runs with his family. We finish our Cuban adventure by getting a better understanding of the country s ultimate comfort food, the malanga. Back in New Orleans some months later, we visit the home of two of Poppy s traveling companions from the trip, "J" and Rebecca Hutchings, to learn how they have been cultivating the malanga in their own back yard.

Use a tablespoon to create fritters, place carefully in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, flip once, fry the other side until golden brown. Remove fritters from oil, place on a paper towel on a plate. Salt to taste, season with fresh lime juice, and serve. I like mine with a little extra Crystal hot sauce.
