SMOKES AND SKIRTS on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday, 9 p.m. to 
midnight
Tune in as we explore the music and lifestyles of Berlin and Paris 
cabarets of the early twentieth century, featuring dark and cheap Weimar 
coffee and cigarettes, gender baits-and-switch, and the vocal hauntings of 
Marlene Dietrich, Mistinguett, Edith Piaf, Blandine Ebinger, and Miss 
Lotte Lenya, among others.

THE BENTONIA SCHOOL on Hell or High Water, Sunday, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
This week's show will feature music by Skip James and Jack Owens, two of 
the foremost exponents of the "Bentonia School" of blues. Authorities 
differ as to whether the style of blues performed by James, Owens, and 
other guitarist-singers from the Bentonia-Yazoo City region in 
west-central Mississippi -- characterized by intricate, florid 
fingerpicking and high tenor and falsetto singing -- is either 
stylistically cohesive enough or sufficiently distinct from other blues 
styles to be considered a discrete musical idiom. Despite this 
disagreement, the Bentonia area has indisputably produced its share of 
imaginative blues musicians. Additionally, this week's program will 
showcase musical observances of Easter.

EYES TO SPACE on the Backyard Barbeque, Sunday, 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. 
Keyboard-toting local rock outfit Eyes To Space joins Kirby this Sunday 
for an interview regarding their music and forthcoming EP, plus lots of 
fun.
