Brown Bag Lunch—Carl Winters, Kalimba King

The kalimba, or African thumb piano, has been featured in unlikely music venues, including the music of Pink Floyd and in the movie soundtrack of ALIENS. The sounds of this ancient instrument are played to perfection by Carl Winters, whose kalimba repertoire includes gospel, jazz, blues, rhythm, and pop music. Wednesday, July 13, noon.

On Wednesdays at noon, the Birmingham Public Library hosts its ongoing Brown Bag Lunch series. The programs are held in the Arrington Auditorium of the Linn-Henley Research Library for the lunchtime crowd to enjoy. There is no charge, and the library provides beverages.
