, here’s where I was wrong:- Mahavishnu Orchestra founder John McLaughlin turned 80, so we’ll weave through his collaborations with Miles Davis, Trio of Doom and Carlos Santana
- Friendz of Funk make their TSS debut, opening the Three Rivers at Three set (3:00-3:20 Eastern)
- P-Funk celebrations abound, with Dawn Silva, Glenn Goins and Grady Thomas birthdays this week
- You’ll hear Sunpie, a new New Orleans discovery
- In 2021, we focused on 1971. This week, we begin a 50-year lookback at 1972: Caravanserai, Willie Mitchell/Al Green, and more
- (The Sidney Poitier and Calvin Simon news came in after this week’s production deadline , so we’ll honor them next week)
