Week in Review
Saturday, February 13th, 2016A few observations about being outside in -27 degree temperatures (an experiment with the wind chill):

- Fingertips go numb after a few minutes (in gloves)
- City streets become as quiet as a forest in Quebec
- Snow under your feet sounds about as pleasant as fingernails scraping a freshly cleaned chalk board

Session to Saver

Tawanna Shaunte brought the heat from Jackson, MS for the Black History Month kick-off concert at the Community Folk Art Center (CFAC).
Singer/songwriter Tawanna Shaunte and her band: Bill Perry, Jr. (keys), Brady Watt (bass) Xayvon Jamison (drums) pounced on the opportunity to make their mark on Friday. Shaunte brought vocal tenacity and the band generated almost enough soulful heat to warm up the entire Connective Corridor. The memorable jam session served as the kick-off for Black History Month.
In case you missed it, get a taste of their southern-style jazz/blues nouveau in the clip below.
The show was another effective collaboration between CFAC and WAER-FM 88.
