Today on In the Key of Folk: Nirvana can be defined as "a place of complete bliss and delight and peace." I'm going to say that many of us felt that when we were there at Bill's house concerts. Bill was always gracious, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in all of us. He made us feel welcome. The musicians who graced his living room became his friends, those of us who came to listen often became like family. Last week and today I'm playing tracks from a small portion of the musicians who graced his living room, so step inside and join us at 2 p.m. today, Wednesday.

On today's Hello Davis!, David Abramson interviews Juliette Beck of the YoloSol Project.
On its website, YoloSol says it "cultivates place-based civic engagement and learning about issues of environmental and economic justice in Yolo County through storytelling, and creative nature-based and multimedia cultural activities. YoloSol brings together multimedia artists, cultural workers, and community organizers, who have decades of experience using digital and hands-on technologies and practices, to foster inclusive public participation. We believe that the arts are the best vehicles for fostering dialogue across difference, so that we can work together to build climate resilience and a just transition from the current fossil fuel economy to an equitable, inclusive and sustainable society."
