Psst. Hey you. Yes, YOU! Over here. Two things. We want you to know - quietly - that the March BIG NEWS edition arrives soon, and we don't want you to get trampled in the stampede. So we're telling you quietly.
Meantime, there isn't much time to play catch-up with FEBRUARY's BIG NEWS edition (published Jan. 22nd) hint-hint.
For this next go-'round, we're working on MANY things for you - from alllll over the magical realm of acoustic and Americana music. That includes our Grammys review, and lots of fresh music industry news - which of course means several in-depth reports about NAMM, music's largest annual trade show (yep, MORE, in addition to our daily editions published during NAMM's four-day run). Suffice it to say, our next edition will bring you a whooooole lot.
That's soon. How about NOW?
Yes, yes, certainly. So, did you find all the treasures in our most recent BIG NEWS edition? It was GAR-GAN-TU-AN! 'Purt near all the locomotive could get up the hill. Hefty, even.
The full list of "what's in it" is a lot more interesting than reading the ingredient panels on goodies at the grocery store, and it's better for you! (And you can do that, just below.)
So if you still haven't explored all the nooks and crannies of that LAST one, the FEBRUARY edition - well, it's here, waiting for you.
You can read a few stories at a time (it's so nicely organized that it's easy to do that and not lose your place), or you can go for the full immersion and catch-up with everything all at once!

Special "TV ALERT" Edition - Feb 14 & 25 2015
.
.
If, any time in the past 40 years. you reached the chronological age that enabled you to stay up late, part of your acculturation has come from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
In its early years, SNL featured some of the hottest musicians - those who already were, or who became, legends.
Because late night king Johnny Carson did not want compilations of the current week's "Tonight Show" to be aired on weekends, NBC decided it needed to launch a new, weekend-only variety show. And L.A. peeps Lorne Michaels and his friends from "The Groundlings" comedy troupe transformed themselves into "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players" and gave NBC a product they didn't quite know what to do with.
That original cast - Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Garret Morris, Laraine Newman, Bill Murray, Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi - are now legends. But it's not easy to find their original shows.
Right now, classic "SNL" episodes with the original cast are airing - until the big 3-hour special (plus its "red carpet" lead-in) on Sunday night on NBC.
THESE intact flashback episodes are on VH-1 Classic Rewind channel (VHCRW).
Here's the full schedule. All times here are Pacific:
Saturday, Feb. 14:
5:30-7 pm: Steve Martin & Jackson Browne (1977).
8-8:30 pm: Steve Martin, Randy Newman, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (1978).
8:40-10 pm: Steve Martin & The Blues Brothers (1978).
A break, 10 pm-1 am for "The Blues Brothers" movie (1980).
Sunday, Feb. 15:
1-2:30 am: Elliott Gould & Leon Redbone (1976).
3:40-4 am: Candice Bergen (1975).
4-5:30 am: Lily Tomlin (1975).
5:30-7 am: Peter Boyle & Al Jarreau (1976).
7-8:30 am: Raquel Welch, Phoebe Snow, John Sebastian (1976).
8:30-10 am: Buck Henry, Bill Withers, Tony Basil, and thr famous "Samurai Deli' sketch (1976).
10-11:30 am: Buck Henry & Gordon Lightfoot (1976).
11:30 am-1 pm: Kris Kristofferson (1976).
1-2:30 pm: Ron Nessen (White House Press Sectetary hosts: Patti Smith is musical guest (1976).
2:30-4 pm: Richard Pryor & Gil Scott-Heron, plus the famous "Samurai Hotel" sketch (1975).
4-5:30 pm: Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Randy Newman (1975).
5:30-7 pm: THE PREMIERE episode, with George Carlin, Janis Ian, & Billy Preston (1975).
Either the DVR will be full, or you won't get any sleep, or both.
Then, immediately following - over on NBC - is:
7-8 pm: The brand-new "SNL 40th Anniversary Red Carpet Special."
And then:
8-11 pm; "SNL 40th Anniversary Special' with live appearances in new sketches by just about all the SNL cast alumni, plus many past guest star hosts and guest musicians.
Note that NBC is not announcing their schedule from 11 pm-12:35 am, so it's possible this will go long and some network affiliates will stay with it. I suppose they would say to those stations, "Well. EXCUUUUUUUSE MEEEE!

Celtic Fiddle Festival: Friday in Pasadena – Guide edition for Feb 13 2015
.
.
A fine start to your weekend: “THE CELTIC FIDDLE FESTIVAL.”
It’s rare enough that the Pasadena Folk Music Society presents a concert on a Friday. And this is much more than a good concert. It’s “THE CELTIC FIDDLE FESTIVAL,” performing February 13 at 8 pm in Beckman Institute Auditorium (aka “Little Beckman”) on the Caltech campus in Pasadena.
Okay, we said “FESTIVAL,” didn’t we? So, it’s a four-piece musical ensemble that named itself a festival. But it seems that it’s warranted.
Performing on fiddles are:
Kevin Burke (Ireland)
Christian Lemaître (Brittany, France)
André Brunet (Québec)
The three will alternately showcase and combine their music traditions and their interaction with guitarist Nicolas Quemener (of Brittany). The show’s producers tell us to expect “a delightful mix of music that ranges from joyous to mournful, with the balance tipped toward the former.”
The most recent recording by the ensemble is 2013's “The Celtic Fiddle Festival: Live in Brittany (20th Anniversary Concert),” and it captures them in fine form, with such tunes as “The Trip to Durrow,” and the beautiful “Valse du Chef de Gare (The Station Master's Waltz),” a tune about the musings of a man who oversees the boarding and well-being of his passengers – but will he ever take a train trip himself?
Here’s a clip of them playing at Edinburgh's Queen's Hall where they perform the medley, “La Belle Catherine / Le Step á Ti-Phonse / Reel á Toto” ~
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBR6d8dAcAA.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for Caltech students and children.
You can call 626-616-4559 on Friday to verify ticket availability.
Bring enough money with you to get tickets for the Pasadena Folk Music Society’s next show, Saturday, February 28, featuring SOCKS IN THE FRYING PAN, a young Irish group of brothers Shane and Fiachra Hayes on accordion and fiddle / banjo, accompanied by Aodán Coyne on guitar and vocals. They’re doing their first US tour. You can hear them sing the song “Bonny Light Horseman” recorded at Whelan's in Dublin, at:

See? We told you it was tempting AND nicely organized.
So go there. Survey, patrol, peruse, acquire, learn, entertain yourself, and get a handle on a bunch of things. And it might be a good idea to mosey on over there before the new edition gets here, and you find yourself falling behind, because you never finished the last Mega Music News edition, right? You're welcome.

Suffice it to say, our next edition will bring you a whooooole lot. In the meantime...
