A wealth of birthdays meant big sets for two D.C.-bred R&B giants, Billy Stewart and Don Covay, salutes to three (!) German rock figures, and a wide array of others, from Harry Houdini to Steve McQueen to Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Patterson Hood and Nick Lowe. A lot of the show was devoted to the 90th birthday
The fourth and final Franorama 2.0 Holiday Extravaganza for this year. Christmas, the Solstice and Festivus – what else could anyone want? Anyway, Franta Claus saved some of the best for last. Merry Whatever You Celebrate.
