FRIDAY EVENING JAZZ...

MARIAN McPARTLAND'S PIANO JAZZ
George Shearing
English pianist George Shearing has appeared on Piano Jazz four times over the last 30 years -- a record shared with Bobby Short for most appearances by a single guest. In this program from 1987, McPartland reminisces with her fellow countryman about obscure British tunes and the two have fun re-harmonizing "God Save the Queen." Shearing sings and plays Cole Porter's "After You" and the two end with a two piano version of "Indiana."
Airs Friday, November 20 at 9 p.m.

On the Road to Safety
Be listening Thanksgiving week when NPR’s national desk will take a look at how new technologies, road designs and behavior-changing campaigns can save lives. The reduction in fatal auto accidents already has been huge, but where are we going from here? Will the trip to grandmother’s house be a lot safer on Thanksgiving Day, 2029?

The One Time It's OK To Call Your Patient A Dummy
A health care provider in Arizona is trying to reduce the number of deaths caused by hospital error by training staff on some unusual patients: mannequins.

Digital Data Make For A Really Permanent Record
There was a time when defense lawyer Robert Perez did a brisk business expunging criminal records. People who'd been acquitted of criminal charges could clear the record and start over with their lives. But no more.
