Hi Ho Loyal Fans -
You know how much I respect and admire the independent musician. One of my current favorites is New York's Roxy Perry and her award winning CD "Back in Bluesville". One of the signature tracks from that CD is her powerful & gripping cover of "House of the Rising Sun". You can hear and see her perform that great song.

Hi Ho TMBers -
Just wanted to let you, there is another great spot for live music this side of Burlington. I had the great fortune to chance the Trio 119 at Rooney's 1820 Coffee House & Wine Bar.....
(Sadly, my review seemed to have disappeared from the page...I will attempt to reconstruct it at a later date...needless to say, My family and I hade a great time eating wonderful desserts, drinking coffees & hot chocolates, and listening to a great jazz trio. I had breakfast there last Sunday...yum!)

New Release : Koko Taylor's "Old School"
Hello TMB Fans -
The new releases are still coming at us. For this Monday, we have Koko Taylor's "Old School" with an in-store date of April 3. Woo Hoo! This is a brand new studio release by the "Queen of Blues" from Alligator records. Each and every track is authentic unvarnished Koko coming straight at you with no apologies given and none needed. To quote Koko, "This album is hard core blues, down-in-the-basement, as far as you go...that's old school, that's me" If this CD is any indication, her nearly 50 year career shows no signs of slowing down which is great news to all of us.
There are 5 original tunes. I will be playing two of the originals on the show today. But, as usual...If you call in, mention this postings, I will gladly play another track from this excellent CD.
Cheers,
OneChord.

Help Keep WWPV on the Air
Scary News... The college is considering selling WWPV to Vermont Public Radio in support their All-Classical music format. Please read the Burlington Free Press's article on-line for more details.
In short, Vermont Public Radio (VPR) wants to purchase the 88.7 FM license in order to broadcast their All-Classical music format channel in our area. While it is true that WWPV's could continue to broadcast via the internet, but we know that is not radio broadcasting and the capability to reach a large audience effectively is severely curtailed. Essentially, if the college sells the license, WWPV as a college radio station with diverse musical and community programming will cease to exist. One simple reason...unless you have access to the Internet, you cannot receive internet radio. Can you say "Digital Divide"? The ability to reach out to tens of thousands of potential listeners by just having an inexpensive radio receiver with no access charges, no monthly fees and no subscriptions. There is a reason that radio broadcasting is still a potent and viable media, the ability to reach thousands upon thousands of people inexpensively with high quality audio inexpensively and reliably. Try to listening to WWPV's webstream in your car, out in the quad, or even in your basement while doing chores. VPR already has a webstream for their All-Classical music station.
If you are incline, please send a note, make a phone, or mail a letter to Dr. Marc vanderHeyden telling him that you listen to WWPV on your radio and why you listen to WWPV. As per my tradition: Share your passion and zeal with Dr vanderHeyden politely, respectfully and with courtesy.

Avi & Celia : The CD Release Party!!!
Hi Ho TMB Fans -
I had the great opportunity to attend the Avi & Celia "Off the Floor" CD release party held at Higher Ground, last Thursday, March 8. Again, just a great show, Avi & Celia along with "The Walking Line" ranged from a classic folk to New Grass to Blues and hard charging Rockin' !
As Avi & Celia demostrated on the show last monday, they are a high energy acoustic duo. I was very impressed with the addition of "The Walking Line" 's drums and bass (upright & fretless electric) to bring the rock-solid-no nonsense full sound that top shelf rhythm section bring to any group.
I will definitely be going to their next show when they are back in town after their gigs in California during their spring break. I am definitely going to get one of their cool t-shirts.
Cheers,
OneChord
