Guy Davis has been telling stories for a long time. In the 1980s he followed in the footsteps of his illustrious parents, actors Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, appearing in movies and on TV. But for the last three decades, his focus has been music, on record and on stage, sometimes in original one-man shows. Drawing on his gifts for both theater and song, The Legend of Sugarbelly derives in part from the stage production The Legend of Sugarbelly and Other Tales My Father Told Me, in the process refreshing timeless country blues traditions.

If you were lucky like I was, we had some amazing lunch ladies that made some of the best lunches. Alas, kids these days won't know how good food could be. Anyway, one of these items was a peanut butter bar dessert, and oh my goodness... it was such a prized item. If you were lucky, sometimes they'd let you come grab another one if lunch was just about over and they had extra (also rare). Keep in mind that this is for a jelly roll sized portion. If you would like to make a 9x 13 size portion, just cut the recipe in half. Here's what you'll need to make about 24 large or 48 small bars:
