The latest video from The Burlinson|Whitten Trio, a series of “live portraits” shot on 41st and 7th in NYC.

In art, as in life, a “happy accident” occurs when something unexpectedly good comes from what would otherwise be considered a mistake.

There are 22 cranial and facial bones that make up the human skull.

In 1812 Beethoven composed  “Drei Equali” requiring 4 trombones.  It was performed at his own funeral procession.

Typically, it’s wise to have at least 8 place settings for dinner parties.

Dogs of similar size and purpose to the modern beagle can be traced back to Greece in the 5th century BC.

This original and compelling tale of a drunk in Venice attempting to survive — and keep his beloved dog alive as well — has been described as “a rewarding story of a man’s unconditional love for his faithful companion” by Kirkus Reviews.  It’s really Raymond Chandler and Charles Bukowski and The Cohen Brothers by way of a very talented writer.  You can visit Eric Coyote’s writer’s retreat here.

We are pleased to report that “Running Through Museums,” the full length album from The Burlinson|Whitten Trio, will be released on February 13th, 2012 by Vitally Important Records.  As the entire music industry is going digital and no longer manufacturing actual CDs, why not be the first to pre-order your copy of this rare item here.  And please check back for more news about BWT’s world tour, which will begin at a cafe in Fairfield, Connecticut and then to Nova Scotia and Iceland.  Perhaps.

Perhaps because they’re playing songs from The Burlinson|Whitten Trio. Bob D’Aprile’s show “Connecticut Rocks“ on WPKN, 89.5 has spun (or clicked) “Red Rocket Ship”, among others, and Steve di Costanzo’s show “Radio Base Camp”  managed to slip in “Dharma Bums” without the station manager pulling the plug on the whole enterprise.  Why not listen here to WPKN on a regular basis and see why it’s the best station in the digital universe. And then get your free download of “Dharma Bums” afterwards.
