I know I said last week that I would do the train show this week, but I just remembered I haven’t done my annual joint birthday show for Benny Goodman & Frank Trumbauer yet, so the train songs will be featured NEXT Sunday instead. In the meantime, here’s a photo of BG switching musical roles with a certain famous singer…Benny actually has sung on records before, but I’m willing to bet Frank Sinatra has never played clarinet anywhere.

It’s been a busy week in Sweet & Lowdown land, and it’ll be a busy show today! In the first hour, we’ve got Dave Brubeck’s cantata for the slain students of Kent State, and in the second hour we’ve got a ticket giveaway for the sold-out MJ Lenderman show on May 13, followed by a concert recap extravaganza for shows by the Cleaners From Venus/Martin Newell in London, Baby Lemomade/Love with Johnny Echols at the Beachland Tavern, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds in Columbus! Whew! Brace yourselves for all the excitement beginning at 2 on 91.1 FM or WRUW.org!

Hello from Edinburgh! Today’s show will obviously not be live, but it was taped and submitted from the UK this morning. One of my Telethon donors, who is also currently in the UK, will be doing a guest set in the second hour. As for me, it’s almost 7pm now, so I’m going to look for a pub and try to decide whether I want to try haggis or not.

Thanks again to everybody who donated to Telethon last week! (You can still donate today if you forgot!) This will be my last live show for a week, and then I’ll be back the first Sunday in May!

83 years of John Cale! We will of course be celebrating the birthday boy in the second hour, while the first hour will feature Bix Beiderbecke for HIS birthday, which falls on March 10, though he hasn’t been around to celebrate it for close to a century…
