James Cotton at South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center - 3/17

I'm up in chilly New England for a few days this week, but I'll be happy to get back to South Florida, my home, and my family for the weekend.  Even better, my best girl and I have a date to see James Cotton at the brand spanking new South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, which is little more than five minutes from the house.  Lucky us.  If you don't know who Cotton is, you can check out his Wiki page or his artist page at Alligator Records.  My wife looked him up and said, "Holy s--t, he's from Tunica!" -- because she's from Mississippi, everybody: West Point.  At any rate, we'll be there, trying to eat a little food from Harvey's Smokehouse before the show.  Say hello if you spot us!

The Video Jukebox returns this week with a score of videos featuring one of the patriarchs of the music -- and a legendary teacher -- Clark Terry.  I'll review Clark's new autobiography later in the week.

Sunday Time Warp - 3/11/12

Hey kids, don't forget to tune in this afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 pm for this week's Sunday Time Warp -- jazz, blues, and funk from all over the place.  On this show we've got some real old school blues, some real straight-ahead jazz from the 60s (Bu, Miles, Jimmy Smith), as well as the usual mix of creative backbeats.  If the pickings have been a little slim on Passing Notes of late, keep in mind that the Notes are a labor of love, and when civilian life gets busy (jobs, toddlers, pets, lawn care, cold care), sometimes a hiatus can creep up on a guy.  Have no fear, though, as it looks like routines have been retooled at the home office to provide sufficient time to return to our regular features: From the CD Stack, the Video Jukebox, and fresh Passing Notes.  Upcoming broadcasts and podcasts include comics artist Dan Clowes, Senator Bob Graham, Bobbie Ann Mason, and public radio legend Bob Edwards.  Stay tuned!
