Tomorrow morning I once again have the honor of hosting Walk & Wag, the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Humane Society of Huron Valley. This year’s event will be at the beautiful Rolling Hills Park on Stony Creek Road in Ypsilanti. Please join me for a fantastic time in the park with your favorite canine companion. Walk & Wag runs from 8am-1pm this Saturday, May 19, and will include a 5K run, a 1-mile walk, performances, games, contests, food, vendors, kids’ activities and much more. All proceeds support HSHV programs and services for homeless animals in our community. Find out more at www.hshv.org, and we’ll see you tomorrow at Walk & Wag!

I’ve got tons of ground to cover this Sunday at 4pm on my 107one Fine Tuning program — hope you can tune in! First of all, I’ll be featuring “Out of the Game,” the terrific new album by Rufus Wainwright, who’ll be in town soon for a mainstage performance at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. I’ll also play some Booker T. & the MGs in honor of their late, great bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn, who passed away last Sunday at the age of 70. To finish off the show, a 71st Bob Dylan birthday tribute plus some Steve Winwood tunes. I caught Steve at the Fillmore Detroit last Wednesday and he rocked the house.
