One of my favorite pastimes is to discover new music and new food. And I got to do both this weekend.

Seriously. If you like catfish and have never been to the Catfish Roundup in Prague, Okla., then you must go. You'll have to wait until March 4 because a sign there indicated that the entire restaurant would be attending a funeral Monday and that it would be closed all day.

Brutha, I ordered two fried catfish plates, and they hooked me up with a feast that included mashed potatoes and white gravy, cole slaw, hush puppies, rolls and apple fritters.

It was one of the best meals I have ever had in the history of ever. Ever.

But on the way to the restaurant, which is located at Exit 200 along Interstate 40 at the Prague and Seminole exit, I killed some time in the car by listening to OU's radio station, KGOU.

Every Saturday and Sunday, they play four hours of the blues. They call it "Weekend Blues," and it's hosted by a cat named Hardluck Jim. They even post their playlists after each show, and if you have an account with Rhapsody, Napster, etc., you can check these singers and bands out for yourself.

Takes no work. No effort. Just bookmark the playlists and check back periodically.

Now, typically, I am not a blues aficionado. I played in a blues band for a few years, but I'm not that well versed in modern blues music, the bands, the songs, etc. But they played a tune that blew me away.

It was from the Ken Saydak Band, and the tune is called "I Got You So Bad." What I loved about it was that it had a great groove and pop sensibility, musically. It was also kind of piano oriented, too, which is no surprise since Saydak is a pianist.

I looked up Saydak tonight on the ol' Interweb, and he doesn't have any YouTube videos. Disappointing. Surely, somebody comes to his gigs with a camera. Post!

Alas, good music and good food made for a kick-ass weekend.

And that KGOU show is one of Norman's musical gems. It's a damned shamed I haven't listened to it more.
