We here at KDRT – along with the entire music-loving community – lost an excellent friend and colleague this week in Bill Wagman. In addition to hosting our own Sometimes Folk and Folk Brothers programs, Bill could be heard for years on KDVS, presenting a fine array of music, from traditional folk to the latest sounds, including American roots and its offshoots. Bill also brought many touring artists to his wonderful house concerts over the decades. We will miss his knowledge and love of music, his ongoing positivity and support, and his smile. Please do enjoy some of his past shows, on the air and in our archives at KDRT.org. RIP, Bill.
