MONDAY and TUESDAY, March 18 and 19, are an amazing days for music on TV! Keep in mind that many PBS stations now have digital multiple channels – some that re-air the same shows multiple times in one day – AND some that offer watch-on-the-web capabilities… and remember that Friday nights always offer tuneful teevee, if you can’t get out to enjoy the real live music scene. And, hey, y’know, this coming weekend doesn’t look bad on TV, either!
