We also pay tribute to two folks we lost in the last 10 days: Danny Kaleikini, the Ambassador of Aloha, and Milan Bertosa, an engineer of the highest grade and someone who contributed to an incredible catalog of Hawaiian recordings.
On today's program: January calendar of flowers, plus conversation about roses, weather and garden centers and house plants, and more.
Ian Tyson passed away at his cattle ranch on Dec. 29. Long after folk stardom with Syliva Fricker in the 1960s, Tyson had a long career as a singer-songwriter who almost single-handedly revived Western (aka "cowboy") music. Blaze Foley (pictured) died by gunshot in 1989. But Brother Bill watched Ethan Hawkes' biofilm Blaze over the holiday, and was inspired to present music from that soundtrack. And more.
All live performances tonight: Frank Sinatra with Count Basie & The Orchestra, Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Roy Eldridge, Chet Baker & Gerry Mulligan, Billy Taylor & Gerry Mulligan, George Benson, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis.
