Clarinetist, composer and writer David Rothenberg; High Cotton bluegrass band

David Rothenberg is a clarinetist, composer and writer on the relationship between humanity and nature. His books include Why Birds Sing and Thousand Mile Song, on making music with whales. He will participate in an improvised performance in downtown Champaign Thursday night, and he'll join me on the Thursday edition of "Live and Local," when we'll also hear from members of the High Cotton bluegrass band.
