Dashboard Beach.jpg

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK plays a veritable smorgasbord of music… some ska, a bit of reggae, a few highlights from the Davis Music Fest, some '60s garage band classics, and several eras of soul music. It’s all over the map, just as the radio gods intended. He thinks it’s really worth a listen this time. Drop on by Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on 95.7 FM and KDRT.org.
