The Liberated Wailing Wall will perform in concert on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Blacksburg Christian Fellowship, 2600 N. Main St.
Admission is free, but donations will be accepted.
\ HEY, GRANDPA? WHAT'S FOR SUPPER? How about savory homemade stew, freshly baked corn bread and your choice of lusciously sweet desserts?
Yuuuum-yum.
That's what they'll be serving up on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Founders' Day celebration at the Wilderness Road Regional Museum in Newbern.
The cost will whet your appetite, too - just $3 for the meal, and admission to the museum is free.
On the main floor of the historic showplace, you'll find an exhibit of Wythe County memorabilia that's sure to occupy an attentive hour (or two) of your time. The exhibit is on display in commemoration of Wythe County's bicentennial year.
Author Mary B. Kegley-Bucklen, locally known lawyer, professor and genealogist, will be available to autograph her latest book, "Wythe County: A Bicentennial History," and several of her other publications about the history of the New River Valley will be on sale at the Founders' Day event.
The Wilderness Road Regional Museum is off exit 32 from Interstate 81 in Pulaski County. Follow the brown signs.
\ MUSIC TO YOUR EARS? Do you enjoy dining-room music? Does a tender tapping tune on the xylophone bring tears to your eyes or make you want to - er, throw up?
Either way, you'll probably eat up the concert that Radford University's Department of Music is planning for Wednesday.
"5 & Dine" is what the musicians are calling this light-hearted look at the contemporary works of Samuel Barber, Benjamin Britten, George Crumb and Virgil Thompson.
The program, which begins at 8 p.m. in Preston Auditorium, promises a gourmet selection for picky listeners.
Performers include Radford University's Percussion Ensemble and music professors David Phillips and Caryl Conger on piano, Joey Akins on saxophone and David Shumway on cello.
Admission to Wednesday's "5 & Dine" is $3 for the public and free for Radford students.
