Here's the latest wrap-up of links and short local news items of interest you may have missed:* Jazz St. Louis has posted some photos on their Facebook page from Erin Bode's CD release shows last weekend. (You don't have to be a Facebook member to view the page.)
* St. Louis' classical music radio station KFUO, sold to new owners and destined to be reformatted with contemporary Christian music, signed off for the final time Tuesday night, as fans held a candlelight vigil outside the studio. To help fill the void left by the sale of KFUO, local NPR affiliate KWMU has added a third HD channel, 90.7 KWMU-3, featuring classical music; it can be heard for free over the air if you have an an HD radio, and also streams online at http://stlpublicradio.org/classical.
* Meanwhile, Don Wolff, whose program "I Love Jazz" aired Friday nights on KFUO and thus also was displaced by the sale of the station, will do his first Internet-only live broadcast this Friday night.
* The renovation of the Kiel Opera House (pictured) downtown will get started with a public event on Monday, and to commemorate the occastion, the Post-Dispatch offers a video tour of the hall.
