Listening Lyrics

Welcome to an hour of Listening Lyrics, right here on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, California.

No musical passports required. Folk can sit next to funk, jazz can dance with rock, and a singer-songwriter might end up sharing a park bench with a reggae band. Listening Lyrics is your invitation to escape the noise of the day and enter a world of elaborate sounds, unexpected discoveries, and songs that have something to say.

This is the kind of journey only commercial-free community radio can provide.

So close your eyes. Open your ears. Relax your mind. Join me, Pieter Pastoor, as we send color to your ears and wander through the vast landscape of music and lyrics—the grand meeting place of rhythm, imagination, and the remarkable human ability to create art. Whether it's a whisper, a roar, a groove, or a melody you've never heard before, it all belongs here.

Remember: Real Music. Real Community. Real Good Music.

Live Friday 4-5pm

Replays Sunday 11am-12pm

Replay of The Folk Brothers from Feb. 2, 2022: Remembering Norma Waterson (1939-2012)

Mon, 02/16/2026 - 11:00am | Jim Buchanan

OIP.jfDVQS_A7JfG8hI-h3XFRwHaHa.jpeg

The Watersons -- Norma, her sister Lal, brother Mike, cousin John Harrison, and (later) Norma's husband Martin Carthy -- defined the English trad-folk revival of the 1960s. In the '90s, Norma Martin and their daughter Eliza Carthy, morphed into Waterson:Carthy. Even in ill health, Norma was recording until a few years ago. Her contributions to -- and influence on -- English folk music cannot be overstated.

Hello Davis! This week it's the Davis Downtown Business Association, Feb. 11, 2026

This week on the program, Brett Lee — executive director of the Davis Downtown Business Association — sits down with Kevin Wan, owner of Sophia’s Thai Bar & Kitchen.

Their conversation explores the unique challenges facing restaurants in Davis, from rising costs to shifting customer expectations, and how local businesses are adapting to the changing appetites of the public.

It’s an insightful and thoughtful look at one restaurant’s journey — and in many ways, reflects the broader story of doing business in our community.
