Davisville, May 4, 2026: Dating by painting at the Arts Center

Mon, 05/04/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Paint Date painting pair.jpeg

There are lots of ways to get to know someone you like, lots of ways to date. What if your outing consisted of you painting pictures together with your friend, partner, perhaps prospective spouse? Call it a paint date.

The Davis Arts Center offers a Paint Date workshop as one of its events this spring, on May 16. It’s a clever idea for getting people to think about taking up a paint brush in front of an easel, plus there’s a social side. What do people paint, when they have an hour to paint something, in the presence of a friend? Are there any stories here?

Today on Davisville we talk with the Paint Date instructor, Roshelle Carlson, sometimes known as Miss Rainbow, and Sam King, executive director of the arts center. We’ll also hear about what else the center is doing this spring, and how it’s doing in this, its 67th year. King says they’ve come back strong from the pandemic, and she explains how they did it.

Sat, 05/02/2026 - 12:30am | Jojo Johanssen

Sonic Rehab logo 2.png

That's right folks, tune in to Sonic Rehab with DJ Jojo Johanssen on May the Fourth for an EPIC two-song tribute to Star Wars, as well as some house beauts from Blue Six and DJ Gregory plus a track to celebrate Jojo FINALLY reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. There will also be a great prog set to warm things up for a special edition next week.

It should also be mentioned that Jojo may have been a bit indulgent on this one -- 16 tracks over 2 hours! So bring some sonic popcorn, pop those headphones on (or blast those speakers), and get yourself some rehab – some Sonic Rehab! Tune in this Monday, May 4, from 1 to 3 p.m. on KDRT 95.7 FM,  or catch it on demand at KDRT.org. Be there!

11 stories, 11 insights -- my immigration thoughts, on Listening Lyrics, May 1, 2026

Fri, 05/01/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

ChatGPT Image May 2, 2026 at 09_42_58 AM.png

Listen in to Listening Lyrics as I play the top 11 songs from February 1953 … in Toronto, Canada. Not randomly. Those songs will carry a story—my story—of immigrating with my family from the Netherlands to Toronto. We’ll move through it in 11 acts, each one introduced, summarized, and—ideally—kept on track by my friend and fellow DJ Gil Medovoy, who will connect the moment to the music.

This hour was inspired by my brother Art and my trip down memory lane in Toronto last month. We flew to New York and took the train from there to Toronto using the same route as we did in 1953.

We're so grateful for the eight years he has spent as a volunteer at KDRT doing his wonderful show, most recently on Wednesday mornings. Still, we miss him already.

Dirk Brazil, host of Twang Thang, has announced he's taking a long hiatus from radio, citing other time obligations.

All of us at KDRT wish Dirk well in his post-retirement endeavors, and we thank him for his musical excellence featuring outlaw country old and new.
