In the Key of Folk

In the Key of Folk with Karen Leyse offers music that will keep you humming or dancing along — perhaps both! The focus is on traditional and current folk music, Americana, and bluegrass, with Celtic, Nordic, and Spanish infusions — wherever Karen's travels and interests take her. In addition, the music of contra dance, an American Folk tradition that came with English and other settlers, will often be threaded through the hour. Don’t know it? Check it out.

Diane Crumley, who saw creativity in nature all around her, earned a PhD in anthropology, and worked or volunteered for several Yolo County nonprofits during more than two decades in Davis, died Dec. 28, 2025 at 68 from cancer.

Born in 1957, Diane earned a bachelor’s in biological anthropology from the University of California Los Angeles in 1986 and her doctorate from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 2000.
