It's Baseball, Jazz, and more, today,

as spring training winds down

and the season begins Easter sunday night.

Dropping by will be the king of baseball lore

set to music, Portland's own Dave Frishberg.

Hope you enjoy!

regards to all,

Bob

My guest on March 18 will be renowned trombonist Sonny Russo,who has retired to the Portland area after his 60-year career.

We'll touch, musically, also on Dave Frishberg's 76th birthday coming up March 23, and Nat "King" Cole's 90th,which he would have celebrated this year on St. Patrick's Day.
