“Unsung Dance,” a track on Sally Taylor’s independent debut album “Tomboy Bride,” features a guest guitar appearance by James Taylor--or, as Sally refers to him, Dad. If that’s not enough singer-songwriter in her bloodline, consider that her mother is Carly Simon. The 24-year-old performer’s Southern California swing includes the Troubadour, the legendary nightclub that hosted both her parents in their heydays.

all day: Movies

The new Morgan Creek-Warner Bros. film “The King and I” is the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical ever to be made into an animated feature. The musical is just the first of two films to be released this year that retell the story of Anna Leonowens, a widowed British teacher who became the private tutor to the children of the King of Siam in the mid-19th century. Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat are currently in production on the nonmusical “Anna and the King” for 20th Century Fox. Both films have been made before, memorably: Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison starred in the 1946 “Anna and the King of Siam,” and Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr immortalized the characters in the 1956 musical version of “The King and I.”

* “The King and I” opens Friday in general release.

Not so long ago, “weaving” had nothing to do with hair extensions. Proof is offered this weekend, when more weaves will be in evidence at Southwest Museum’s Textile Symposium & Trading Sale than at all of the season’s awards shows put together. Navajo and Pueblo weavers, scholars and traders gather to review the traditions and explore the future of weaving. Specialists in Native American textile art will discuss (and display) the art form’s beauty and function.
