Since our fair state is once again thoroughly blanketed with snow, I’m planning to stay in and watch Oklahoma music icon Leon Russell and British pop star Elton John play “The Late Show with David Letterman” tonight. Letterman starts at 10:35 p.m. on CBS (KWTV-9 in Oklahoma City).“The Master of Space and Time” and “The Rocket Man” will perform a song from their 2010 duet album “The Union.” They are nominated for best pop collaboration with vocals for “If It Wasn’t for Bad,” the opening track from “The Union,” at the 2011 Grammy Awards. The Grammys will air Sunday night on CBS, and you will be able to follow my live blog of the big show here at BAM’s Blog.
In addition, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that John will do the honors when Russell is inducted into the rock hall next month.
If you want to venture out despite the wintry weather, go to www.wimgo.com to learn about more entertainment options. But plan to call ahead to ensure the event of your choice is still on and proceed with caution on the roads.
