Our Favorite Band Dreamin’ of Eternity

From their Big Time/New Rose LP release, ‘Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings’, this video clip represents a rough edit for a proposed OFB Music Video which was to have coincided with the release of their debut album. Produced by New York filmmaker (Searching For Cormac) and television producer (The Men Who Killed Kennedy-PBS), Eric Davies, this document now serves as one of the only (the only Online example) extant videos of a rare live Our Favorite Band performance, filmed at ‘The Bayou’, their preferred venue for local performance and watering hole of choice (no longer open for business, this bare, college drinking establishment was featured in Steven Sodeberg’s first feature film, ‘Sex, Lies, and Videotape’).
Located on Chimes Street in the geographic center of the Huey Long-built Louisiana State University campus of the Capital City of Louisiana, ‘The Bayou’ was the premiere proving ground for any band who professed sensibilities toward Punk/New Wave in the tumbleweed days of the form. With its health mixture of Rednecks, Academics, College Professors, Cocaine Dealers and LSD Throwbacks in Hawkwind tees, its roster ran the gamit from Southern Rock ‘n’ Roll to Country and Western, and hosted nearly every local and touring band on their way to or from New Orleans.
The song which this video partially documents is entitled Dreamin’ of Eternity (in the Bosom of Sweet Jesus), and featured on their LP, REM’s Michael Stipe, performing his first and only duet guest appearance before or since.
We hope you enjoy catching a glimpse of the reclusive Steely Dan of the Swamps duo in an incomplete but fully representative performance in their natural Louisiana habitat, well-oiled and still wet from coming out of the swamp.

Ask Farmer Jason
- I don’t know if vine borers are the same as the “squash bugs” mentioned in the last issue of Local Table. If they are different, how doyou control the vine borers? I lose my squash to them every year!
Travis, Age 36, Nashville
Farmer Jason: Vine borers and squash bugs are different, but the results of their work are the same. They both can ruin every vine plant in your garden if not diligently dealt with. Squash bugs are little white or brown bugs, and vine borers are little white worms. Squash bugs carry a deadly plant virus, and vine borers kill the plant by boring into the base of the stem. When they do this they leave little piles of sawdust looking plant matter outside the stem.
