Weekend Previews From A Kentucky Newspaper

    Gannett’s local profit center has a few recommendations fer ya for this weekend, should you decide to brave the inclement weather. First up, Duke Robillard at Jim Porter’s tonight. We agree.

    There are several reviews of national act CD and J. L. Puckett forces himself to tout Garth Brooks’ Nashville benefit concert, though not without several snide remarks along the way.

    For reasons that make sense only if you believe having a ton of money in the bank upgrades the status of your entertainment choices, the Bach Society’s presentation of Handel’s “Messiah,” with a new conductor, is written up in the “Arts” rather than “Music” section. (Lumpen need attend only to improve their moral quality.)
