Jeanne Robertson is funny.  Real funny.  I dare you to listen to this recording for a minute and not laugh.  I DARE you.  Go ahead... we can wait.

We don't laugh often enough, do we?  We don't take the time, as Jeanne has done, to actually NOTICE the things that are funny in the world.  Like the absolute greatest masters of the comedic form, Mrs. Robertson doesn't "make up stuff" or "tell jokes".  She simply lets us take a glimpse at the world at she sees it.  She holds a mirror up to life and finds hilarious that which is looking back.

She has several funny, FUNNY recordings which you can get as audio or DVD recordings, but "Southern Style" is easily in her top 2 or 3 and includes perhaps her most famous story of all: "Left Brain's Grocery List" could stand toe to toe with Bill Cosby's "Noah" or Richard Pryor's "Mudbone" or Andy Griffith's "What it was, was Football".

Mrs. Robertson's husband is named Jerry, but she calls him "Left Brain" and if you don't understand that, as she says, you may be one too...  Jeanne has been drafted into making several of her famous 7-up pound cakes, and needs to dispatch Jerry to the grocery store to pick up a few ingredients.  You'll just have to hear the results, but as the tears roll down your cheeks with laughter the part of your soul that recognizes the truthfulness of things will know there is a little Left Brain in most of us.

Thank Heaven for BOTH of the Robertsons and for Jeanne's gift for sharing her magnificently cultivated sense of humor.

A final word: perhaps most miraculously of all, Mrs. Robertson makes you laugh and laugh and laugh with nary an off-color word.  Not just fun for the whole family - this is FUNNY for the whole family!
