On the Beat: David Menconi on music
News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
Nnenna Freelon: Going mad
Word is that Nnenna Freelon will be in a choice televised position Sunday night -- on the soundtrack to the show "Mad Men." The Durham jazz singer's recording of the standard "A Prelude to a Kiss" will reportedly play over the closing credits of this week's show. As she says, "No on-screen moment but who knows, maybe in the future."
That's 10 p.m. Sunday on AMC.

I knew it!

Go Nnenna!
