Cookbook and Songbook

A boatman’s cookbook is now available. This collection of recipes, for both on the river and off, is written by AzRA guide, Jon “Jelly Roll” Baker. There is interesting reading in the Forward, and Dutch Oven, Grill, and Chopping Guides. The recipes include soups, salads, main courses with and without meat, side dishes and some desserts. All the recipes would work well on the river and this book should be a welcome addition to any adventurer’s kitchen whether at home or not. These recipes are a great selection to choose from for your next private trip or pot luck!
The cost is $14.95 plus $2.00 shipping and handling. Contact: Jelly Roll Baker, Box 1616, Flagstaff, AZ 86002

Yee-Hah! Sing for the River, A Collection of River Songs has arrived! This songbook contains 55 songs, all of which, in some way, are about rivers. The melody, lyrics and guitar chords are included, as well as a brief glossary of musical terms. You’ll be singing popular hit songs and classic river favorites. Everything from traditional songs, such as Shenandoah, and Peace Like a River to Arizona folk musician Katie Lee’s Muddy River and Pore Colly Raddy to Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia’s Ripple, and Brokedown Palace, to J. C. Fogerty’s Proud Mary and Green River are included. Boatmen and river runners will get a chuckle from River Waltz and Half-Day Float and appreciate the haunting beauty of Santa Elena Canyon and Banks of the Guadalupe. The songs and the stories they tell are sure to please.
The pen and ink illustrations throughout the songbook, the clarity of the score, and the size and layout of the book contribute to a quality product. It will fit into an “ammo” can or a guitar case. It’s perfect to take on a shuttle or multi-day river trip.
You can help to protect and preserve our nation’s rivers while singing. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book is donated to American Rivers, a leading national river conservation organization.
