. . .It’s a square dance! 
On Tuesday, February 7, Appalshop will host its annual Breaking up Winter square dance, this year featuring T-Claw and the Eye of the Monkey Stringband. The dance starts at 7 PM at the Appalshop, 91 Madison Avenue in downtown Whitesburg, Kentucky. There is a suggested $7 door for the dance. This rug we have ain’t gonna cut itself (we don’t yet have that technology), so come on out and give us a hand.
. . .It’s a square dance workshop! On Wednesday, February 8, Appalshop will host a free community square dance workshop from 4-6 PM. Come learn how to call a dance, how best to start a tune for dancers, and how to swing your partner just right! Instruments welcome. For more information call WMMT at 606-633-0108.

A final note for your Tuesday morning: What’s Cookin’ Now!, the world’s only live radio cooking show (that we know of) will be preparing the February 2012 edition of the show live, tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 6 p.m. on WMMT. Jonathan and Jenny will be honoring Black History Month on tomorrow’s program, with recipes and words from the Affrilachian Poets. And if you miss the live broadcast, no worries–check back to the WCN streaming archive here on wmmt.org and we should have it up and streaming before too long. Finally, you can get ready for the show by checking out Jonathan & Jenny’s most excellent blog at whatscookinnow.org.
