It seems like the Bayesian folks like to hide. Hey, I just want to get the
job done whether using frequency or Bayesian stats. Can anybody suggest
a good introduction to Bayesian Analysis?

Hi,
Gelman's book "Bayesian Data Analysis' while excellent tends to
move
through the introductory material at a rapid pace. You will need to
have a good understanding of things like conditional probability.
There are other books which may be better. Peter Lee "Bayesian
Statistics: an introduction" is good on the basic theory but may be a
bit light on the Gibbs sampler. There are probably other good books,
I'm not really a Bayesian so I don't know them off hand.
