That's Life returns with a new series about one of the most important things in Davis: trees

Fri, 07/21/2023 - 9:53am | kdrtradio

Google Street View screenshot on Russell, west of Davis.png

That’s Life has returned, and host Lois Richter has chosen an apt subject for Davis and especially for this time of year: trees. This week’s program is part 1 of 2 or 3 on the topic, or, as she says, “as many as it takes.”

Her guest is Don Shor, who co-hosts the Davis Garden Show with Lois every week. He owns Redwood Barn Nursery and is a member of the board of Tree Davis.

Among other things, Lois and Don talk about some noteworthy feats of volunteerism, like Tree Davis' staff hand-watering 200 newly planted oak trees along Russell Boulevard west of Arthur (see photo)  for the trees' first three summers. Don adds, "that's 200 of 1,000 trees, roughly, that we're doing that for throughout the city."

Silver Nine Volt Heart for July 20, 2023: Filling in for Rod

Thu, 07/20/2023 - 6:10pm | Rodriguez

41b601fa8b11b989fce5ebbdcbeefaea.jpg

It was an honor this week to fill the seat normally held for Rod. I tried to stay true to the vision of Silver Nine Volt Heart.

In a wonderful mix (or thread) of music, I have included some local artists: Boot Juice (with a new single), Adrian West (and his amazing electronic fiddle), Nat Lefkoff ( a tribute song to his late grandmother) and Jim Fowler (a tongue-in-cheek music journey about his daily commute).

Thank you, Rod.

Album of the Week explores a variety of music, one LP (CD, 8-track, whatever we've got) at a time. This week’s host, Frank Fox, brings you O Brother, the Story Continues, the sequel to the soundtrack for the 2002 movie O Brother Where Art Thou.

“This is roots music at its finest,” Frank says.

Frank hosts The Wild Fox Party  each week on KDRT. You might also know him from Frankie and The Fabletones … which by the way if you haven’t heard them perform Heidi Bekebrede’s “The Davis Song,” well, what are you doing for the next few minutes?

Live Tracks goes all-vinyl for this week’s show

Fri, 07/14/2023 - 9:10am | kdrtradio

Jim is playing vinyl tonight on Live Tracks.

The experience is “complete[ly] analog if you’re listening on July 13 to the airwaves,” he says. “If you’re listening to the replays, it got digitized so that it could get replayed for you. Still pretty darn cool.

“I’ll be going to some very famous live recordings from around the country, from the 1940s, ‘50s, and possibly even the ‘60s.” Plus Beatles history, stories, a little trivia. And lots of music. Take it away, Henry Mancini.

Folk Brothers starts this week’s show with Irish singer’s cover of ‘Angel from Montgomery’

Thu, 07/13/2023 - 8:28am | kdrtradio

Screenshot 2023-07-13 at 8.14.32 AM.png

“I have a mix of things for you this morning,” says Folk Brothers host Bill Wagman at the start of his latest program. “I’m going to start off with a cover of ‘Angel from Montgomery’ sung by Jessie Buckley (pictured), an Irish singer who starred in a movie called Wild Rose. She played a young country singer in Ireland and had dreams of going to Nashville and performing on the Grand Ole Opry. … It’s a good movie.”

And a great song, starting off a great set. Let Bill take it from here.
