Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: we find out, kind of, why Dr. Lonnie Smith is a “doctor.” The legendary jazz master of the Hammond organ will play in Fayetteville this weekend and he talks to Robert Ginsburg about his music and his career. And a survey to help gauge the direction for the city of Rogers as growth continues.
A new guide to the art galleries in Fayetteville was created through cooperation. This weekend there will be a toast to the project.

For more information about the series of economic discussions and to see materials from this week's event, visit www.arkeconbreakfast.com.
