Today on MorningWood
I’m gonna get back to the music today. I’ve had lots of themed shows lately, which tend to restrict what can be played. Today, lots of new releases, including cuts from The Von Bondies, Graham Parker, Lambchop, Junkie XL, and more. And listen up for BR549, The Gibson Brothers, and Terry Allen as MorningWood checks out some new morning roots. I’ll mix in plenty of older stuff from artists like Frank Zappa, and keep you guessing with new works that remix old artists like The Beetles and Ella Fitzgerald.

WMNF pre-Heatwave PARADE - Tropical Feetwave
Saturday May 1st
Gather at 4:30pm; Parade Starts at 4:45pm SHARP
Meet at Avenida Republica de Cuba and 9th Avenue
For immediate release:
Tampa, March 17 - On Saturday, May 1, WMNF Community Radio presents it's 23rd annual Tropical Heatwave, an eclectic night of hot live bands and DJs spanned across six stages, making it Tampa Bay's biggest live music event.
Before the music begins, the streets of Ybor City will make way for WMNF's pre-Heatwave people's parade, Tropical Feetwave: The March of a Thousand Billionaires - Flamboyant floats, creative costume and musical merriment will fill the streets as we celebrate the cause of the billionaires in none-too serious fashion.
The parade kicks off at 4.45pm. Folks who wish to march in the parade should meet no later than 4.30 pm at Avenida Republica de Cuba and 9th Avenue. Participants should dress appropriately (Billionaire Attire such as Top Hats and Tails for men and Gowns, Furs and Tiaras for women is de rigueur). Everyone is welcome.
Propelled solely by feet-power, big music and stunning costume, the parade will wind itself around Tampa's historic Latin quarter, culminating at the Cuban Club Courtyard where Opening Games and Award Ceremonies merge FEETwave into HEATwave and the first of a thousand dances begins.
Any person wishing to get involved in the parade in any creative or organizational way, should contact norwood@wmnf.org.
