Preface

My mother was lousy at cooking. To her, cooking was more like an exciting experiment. You put some of this and some of that in a pot, and you wait and see what will happen. “No experiments, no experiences.” is what she would say when her experiment did not turn out good, and I heard that a lot.

My father was a good cook, and he loved to cook, too. He often said that he got my mother to marry him with a table of delicious food, not with a beautiful ring. “A family needs only one good cook,” he said.

Now I am a cook myself. And I have my own restaurant. I learned how to cook from my father, of course. From him, I learned the art of cooking. But I did learn one thing from my mother. It’s her famous saying: “No experiments, no experiences.”

Welcome to Music Ground, a radio show that gives you a wonderful Friday night. I’m Justin Young. It’s time again for the best-selling songs of the week. Stanley Brown’s “Perhaps” is a new song that comes in at No. 5 this week. “Say Cheese” by OK Band stays in the same place at No. 4. “The Bees” by Cindy Bear falls down from No. 2 to No. 3. And No. 2 is another new song called “Are You There?” by Broken Basket. Finally, there’s no change at No.1, with “Magic River” by Stupid Machine. Many people are calling in for this favorite song, so let’s listen to it right now. And don’t go away. Later we’ll talk over the phone with Stupid Machine about their plans for the coming year.
