Yesterday, we wrote about the chocolate shop explosion in Franklin, and pointed out that Tennessee Crossroads profiled The Cocoa Tree in December.

Now that I’ve cleared that up, another reminder about the Independent Lens’ show “Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life”, called “exceptional” by Ron Wynn in the Nashville City Paper, on NPT-Channel 8 tonight at 8:00 followed by the NPT original production “Deford Bailey: A Legend Lost” at 9:30. Visit the music section Independent Lens/Strayhorn web site to watch video clips of performances of Strayhorn classics and learn more about his music.
Listen to a clip of DeFord Bailey playing Pan American Blues. If clip doesn’t work, go to the PBS Deford Bailey Song Samples page.
