Biscuit Brothers: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
The lovable, musical Biscuit Brothers, who won this week’s A-List poll for the best locally produced TV show, are refreshing dose of Austin cool among a trove of bland Saturday morning kids’ shows (and one that this mommy is delighted to watch along with her kid).
They show their love of all things music every Saturday morning on KLRU (FYI, starting September 4, they’re moving to Fridays at 10 a.m. and Sundays at 8 a.m.) and in frequent performances and kids’ events around town.
Here’s what Tiny Scarecrow found in Buford and Dusty’s Musical Fridge:
It’s been a good season for “Old MacDonald’s Farm Fresh, Organic, Home-Grown Melodies” and we just launched a new green-box design! We keep the dry mix chilled and you can also see a pitcher of iced melody juice mixed up towards the back. Right in front of the juice is a fresh Flute basket. A diet full of fresh flutes and vegetables is very important! We try to keep the Jingle Bells cold just after they come off the jingle vine - you can see a nice pre-holiday bunch on the top shelf. The Trumpet is tricky. It’s typically frozen but we thaw it in the refrigerator and ‘round about 38 degrees it’s ready for some cool jazz. The Mandolin is kind of comfort music - sometimes Buttermilk (the Biscuit Brother’s sister) will sneak downstairs for some late night mandolin - those things are tasty anytime! The Cajun instruments (Washboard and itty-bitty Banjo) are in there to keep the rhythms crispy. That’s what a “crisper” is for, right?
Finally, I’m not really sure what the Ukulele (top shelf, center) is doing in there. We asked Tiny about it and he made a vague reference to some sort of musical experiment involving 6 kazoos, a megaphone, half a toothbrush and one “chilly uke” so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how that turns out.
And of course, right in the middle, a big plate of made-from-scratch biscuits … Hey! Where did that plate of Biscuits go? Well, I guess to see the Biscuits you’ll have to tune in to KLRU/PBS Saturdays at 8 a.m. :)
