...Dorsey: Night People (ABC). New Orleans R & B for the '70s, created by peerless Allen Toussaint, sung by a great master of soul...
DIED. Joe Venuti, eightyish, peerless jazz violinist whose daring experiments in swing were matched only by his outrageous practical jokes; in Seattle. Trained in the classics, Venuti played second violin in the Philadelphia Orchestra but longed to improvise. He played with Dance Band Leaders Jean Goldkette and Paul Whiteman, teamed up with Guitarist Eddie Lang to make hundreds of vintage jazz recordings and then formed his own band. An energetic performer who worked high jinks with his bow to play four strings at once, Venuti enjoyed a renaissance in the past decade and was still performing in jazz spots last...
Tommy's Lunch--Mt. Auburn St. The best atmosphere around, which your small intestine may not really appreciate, and some decent food to boot.

Then watch what should be a helluva hockey game between the big bad Bruins and the peerless Montreal Canadians. It you can't get tickets for this clash you can see the Bs take on the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 30 or you can switch sports and cheer on the Green (the Celtics, for the uninitiated among you) as they strive against the Chicago Bulls tomorrow night...
