Caregiver seminar There's more to caring for an invalid than making cinnamon toast. A sprained ankle, perhaps, can be cured with a couple of trips to the doctor and a few days on the sofa, and the average good egg is prepared, more or less, to tend for a loved one in sprained ankle straits. This seminar is for those who are in for a longer haul -- those caring for a critically ill child, an aging parent or a spouse with a debilitating illness. "What Every Caregiver Needs to Know," a three-hour session, will have practical tips for caregiving and tips on stress management for overwrought caregivers. 9 a.m.-noon. Wilson Turner Auditorium, Two Memorial Southwest Professional Building, 7600 Beechnut. For details, call 222-CARE. Free.

Tune's Saloon Rod Summers and Will Townsley lack the lisping charm of Roger Rabbit but play a pair of bright purple baby grand pianos that any cartoon character would envy. Summers and Townsley play tunes, do improvisational comedy and encourage audience participation at Houston's newest piano bar. Come on out and embarrass yourself, embarrass your friends and have a loud good time. Larry Moon, who goofs on Mix 96.5, will appear tonight, 6-8 p.m. Tune's Saloon, 2151 Shepherd Plaza, 527-
