MUSIC ON TV


All weekend:
"DUKE'S OCEAN FEST" with Hawai'ian music, ukulekes, vocalists and hula, are part of a live cavalcade of coverage from the Aloha State on CSPAN 1, 2, & 3. "Duke" was, of course, the late surf legend and  five-time Olympic medalist in swimming, Duke Kahanamoku. (Full disclosure: it being CSPAN, you'll be subjected to back-and-forth coverage of Kavanaugia, with impassioned protest rallies that include victims of sexual assaults, being alternately invoked and ignored by old men in suits speaking in the Senate to justify tribalist political behavior.)
___

Saturday, Oct 6:
9 am-2:30 am - BEATLES EXTRAVAGANZA, collectively and individually. Concerts, interviews, and even George Martin. On AXS TV.
