Ex-"Idol" Ruben Studdard is Fats Waller in musical
Here in Milwaukee, we're rooting for local boy Danny Gokey to become the next "American Idol," but in the meantime, former 2003 idol Ruben Studdard makes his way into town, starring in "Ain't Misbehavin'." The Broadway musical hits The Milwaukee Theatre for three shows in two days: Friday, April 24 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, April 25 at 2 and 8 p.m.

Moncur, Rivers are stars of Blue Note reissues
You know me well enough by now to know that if there are new Blue Note reissues in the shops, then I'm going to tell you about them. Add to that the fact there are some real treasures here, and some that I suspect are new to CD, it's a gimmie.
