Programmer Bill Buchanan's DAVISVILLE radio show was the subject of an article on the front page of the Tuesday, September 22 Davis Enterprise. Bill was a longtime print journalist so it is great to see him back in ink. I also happen to know that Bill will be hosting two upcoming television shows regarding local Measure P. So if you can't get enough of Bill from his great show, or from reading the Enterprise, tune into DCTV cable channel 15 to see him on television. Check out the Davis Enterprise article here...you have to log in to see it. Or go buy a copy on the racks for that satisfying newspaper feel.
Freddie Oakley is a wonder! As Yolo County's Clerk-Recorder, she not only keeps our elections running; she also finds new and creative ways to address problems as they arise, looks to the future and offers solutions for NEW problems BEFORE they arise, and is an expert resource to other counties and states (and researchers) about election issues. A frequent guest on my old DCTV show "Thoughtfulness", Freddie has helped us understand everything from what State regulations affect our elections -- to how the gubernatorial recall worked -- to details of being a voter. On my 2009 radio show, Freddie describes legislation
When I Live Alone
I dream of a horizon
with no words.
In the shadow and amongst lights
for my sight it's all black
if you are not with me...here
You
in your world
separated from mine by an abyss
Hear
call me
I'll fly
to your distant world
for you I'll fly
wait for me I'll arrive
my trip's end is you
for living it we two.
For you I'll fly
by skies and seas
up to your love.
Openiong the eyes at last
with you I'll live
When you are far
I dream of a horizon
with no words.
And I know that you are always there, there
a moon made for me
always illuminated for me

A Little Tooth by Thomas Lux
Your baby grows a tooth, then two,

directly from the bone. It's all
over: she'll learn some words, she'll fall
I left the studio after taping Speakeasy today with a huge grin on my face. Turning the tables on Koren Motekaitis (host of "How She Really Does It" on KDRT, Fridays 10 am-noon) by putting her in the interviewee's seat was a hoot. Then I took a little trip down memory lane by playing a portion of an interview with the inimitable Jeff Shaw (DJ Shaw-zam) that we did last year. Spent some time reflecting on KDRT's past & future--this radio station turns 5 on Sept 24!
Capped it all with a little Grateful Dead, which was for Rod, btw.
A good day--how could it not be?
