Yes, the month of March has arrived with its perennially broken promise of Spring.  Let's not kid ourselves, folks: Spring around here has a notorious fear of commitment - you can't really be sure that the relationship is stable until around the first of May, if then.  

In the meantime, nothing helps maintain body heat like a good, fast march while carrying a tuba. This week's I.W.H. will feature nearly an hour of marching-band music from such unlikely sources as jazz-composer Anthony Braxton, The Who, John Wayne(!), Art Blakey & His Jazz Messengers and Michael Nesmith of The Monkees, not to mention a march arrangement of the song "Roundabout" by Yes.  Actual marching around in your living room, kitchen or car while listening is recommended.
