[Tango] Wines of Argentina on the radio, Blues tonight

[Lois Donnay]

At 2:00 this afternoon (Saturday) The Wine Guys radio show will be featuring a discussion 
of the wines of Argentina, including Malbec. AM950 Air America Radio.

Don't forget the Blues Classes tonight! Afterwards, join us at Famous Daves, Calhoun Center 
on Hennepin and Lake Street to listen
to Byther Smith: "With a fierce, stinging guitar style and authoritative, hard-bitten vocal
howls, classic Chicago bluesman Byther Smith hasn't lost an ounce of intensity as he
negotiates his mid-70s. A Mississippi native who moved north during the '50s, Smith
developed his terse but expressive electric guitar attack under the tutelage of his famous
cousin, J.B. Lenoir, and Robert Junior Lockwood, and wound up playing with a good cross
section of Windy City blues heavyweights, only emerging in his own right as he approached
his 60s. His latest album, Blues on the Moon (Delmark CD and DVD), was recorded a year ago
at the Natural Rhythm Social Club on the city's South Side. With a stalwart crew of fellow
Chicagoans matching him step for step, Smith rocks the joint with anguished laments from
Lenoir, Little Milton, and his own pen (particularly the autobiographical "Monticello"), as
well as defiant romps like his own "Your Mama's Crazy." Smith's stuff is raw, visceral, and
the real thing."
