More raw food music: This one's a rap song called "You Can Do This"

Fun abounds in the raw food world. Several of the people on the 'net touting the lifestyle are characters! (Click to see another raw food character.)  Here's Dan McDonald singing a rap song about the benefits of eating raw food. Since rap is most assuredly NOT my genre, I found this performance peculiar and kooky, but also catchy.

Raw food music? This guy sings about raw food!

He calls himself Tim Tye, The Raw Food Guy. And he sings about the lifestyle in such songs as "Raw Food Boogie" and "As You Want to Be." Click for the lyrics. Click to listen to "Raw Food Boogie" in the background of a quirky, kooky video. And click to listen to excerpts of other songs of his at Amazon.

For a photo of Tye, click here, go to the bottom of the article, and see #3 in the slide show.

Do you know of other raw food songsters? Or raw food artists of any kind? Painters? Photographers? Poets? Let me know in the comments below.

The biggest advantage of raw food for me? Maybe the dancing?

Yes, today is the 10th day of real-deal raw. A bit of a change from that first day! Do I like this lifestyle? "Like" is too mild. Bring on the next 10 days.

Although I've lost weight (not really much of a goal) and do not seem to have cravings for meat and other cooked or processed foods, the biggest shift seems to be an enormous increase in exuberance and playfulness.

This morning, as I work, I hear this music in the background:

• Louis Armstrong's All Time Greatest Hits (Is it any surprise that my favorite song on that album is "What a Wonderful World"?)
• Crash Test Dummies' The Ghosts That Haunt Me (one of my most-liked is "Superman's Song")
• Legend: The Best of Bob Marley (Click to listen to "Three Little Birds," my album front-runner)
• Anthony Arizaga's Impossible Dream

Every so often I feel the urge to get up and dance—and then I do!

If you read my blog idealawg, you may recall I am an avid supporter and researcher of play; for me, this raw food cuisine takes play to new heights. And what about exuberance? I am going to research that topic between working and dancing. I'll let you know what I learn.
