Here's to hoping you have fully recovered from all the St. Patrick's Day festivities, because this weekend there's a flight of music varieties to check out. There's even the production of "Evita" taking the stage Saturday at the Southeast River Campus.

There is plenty of live entertainment Friday and Saturday night in downtown Cape Girardeau, provided by Head 1st, Bittersweet Band and GenX, and the Mike Tuschhoff Band is playing in Jackson.

But if going downtown isn't your thing, take the laidback, subdued approach and enjoy a performance of David Phelps -- once with the Gaither Vocal Band -- at Cape First, or there's the 125th annual hymnal performance at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Jackson.

And don't forget to round up the squad for some baseball at 2 p.m. Saturday as the Redhawks take on Austin Peay University at Capaha Park.

Sunday, hockey and stray pets combine for a power play at Arena Building in Cape Girardeau, where local hockey players dish an assist with Pucks 4 Paws, a free-to-attend hockey tournament to benefit the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri.

The sun is shining, it's springtime and it's finally Friday. We couldn't be off to a better start!
