Classical Excursions

Greg LaTraille

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Davisville, Sept. 4, 2023: Investors buy land for a ‘dream city’ next door to Yolo County

Mon, 09/04/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Fairfield Mayor Catherine Moy was among the first people a few years ago to draw attention to extensive and secretive land purchases in Solano County by Flannery Associates. Who the buyers are, and what they wanted, has now become much clearer thanks to reporting from The New York Times and other media — Flannery wants to build a green “dream city” from scratch on rural, arid land in southeastern Solano County, one of the least-populated parts of the greater Bay Area and Yolo County’s southwestern neighbor. The backers include some of the wealthiest people in America, with ties to Silicon Valley.

Today on Davisville, Moy criticizes the idea, says the opposition is large and growing, and chides the buyers for conceiving big plans involving Solano County while not engaging the people who live there. “I have literally had several hundred people [in Solano County] contact me,” she says, "and about 95, 96 percent want them to go away. For a number of reasons.”

After this interview was recorded, Flannery began saying more about its plans. This SFGATE article has details.

“Today I’d like to talk with you about someone who has been called the granddaddy of motivational speakers on television,” says Heart to Heart host Dr. Gitane. “At one time he had five of his books on the New York Times bestsellers list.”

On her program for this week, Dr. G invites listeners to learn more about “this fine person, who I had the pleasure of meeting, by the way, umpteen years ago” — Felice Leonardo Buscaglia, more commonly known as Leo Buscaglia, and also as “Dr. Love.”

Penguin Random House says his first book, Love (pictured), was a continual bestseller for more than 20 years.

“Americana music didn't just show up one day — the genre has evolved from deep and varied country music roots,” says Twang Thang host Dirk Brazil. The show “explores both the old and the new and a bunch of stuff from the in between.”

Like this week’s show, which starts with Joe Ely’s “Whenever Kindness Fails” from his 1992 album Love and Danger.
