With the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment fast approaching, Madison County Archivist Shalis Worthy joins Huntsvillain to discuss the fight for suffrage in North Alabama and nationwide. We also grieve some words lost to history like "Enfangle", name some strange biological artifacts from the Madison County Archive and of course deep dive into the lives of those who fought for the rights of women in Alabama.

The AK in Tyler AK stands for Alaska, originally out of anchorage the warm hearts and minds of the valley have kept the original rock and blues musician grounded neatly in the south. Tyler had plenty to talk about his journey from the far north all the way to the valley including his time playing in Seattle, his favorites spots to gig down south, names for his many guitars and some ways to cook Alaska's favorite fish Halibut. We hear three live tunes including "That Girl", "Thinking About You" and "The Coffee Shop".

Last year we had the good fortune of interviewing a passel of local jazz legends about their jazz-funk project titled Groove Yard. Chip Gulbro, Keith Taylor, Chris Ferguson and Bryan Williams all make up the masterful squad that brought four live tracks to Spice Rack Studios. You can hear the entire album online on their Spotify. Our interview covers bass face, Latin music's influence on other genres and how jazz influences pop culture today. We hear four tracks live recorded at the Spice Rack including "49 Days", "Monte Sano Rain", "Lazio Rising" and "Soul Men".

On This month's Red Magic Imports we've got everything from face melting noise rock to funk from Japan and everything in between. Salina Brilla brings us music from Go Go Killers and Obed Edom who're playing the benefit show for Chris Fanning Feb 22 at Shagnasty's. We also hear music from Genki Genki Panic playing Sagnasty's March 7th, Possessed by Paul James and a special treat from Otonana Trio making their return to Huntsville on March 1st at Mario's in 5 points. 

At the Bell Tavern on the evening of August 7th 1820 Reuben Turner and Thomas Logwood were drinking heavily. A horseback battle later that evening ends with one man mortally wounded and another barricading himself in the courthouse, but don't worry EVERYONE get's to wave a knife. The story became one of the first big news stories of the day with a special running in the Alabama Republican Newspaper focusing only on this case.

We also get a peak into Tennessee Valley resident's menu of the time which consisted of a pile of bacon, salted pork and you can polish that off with whiskey soaked bread and a tall glass of milk.

Salina Brilla has a whole host of new shows to talk about, poetry and of course awesome music to play on this month's Red Magic Imports.
