Post-Labor Day Weekend

Tue, 09/06/2016 - 6:05pm | Rocket Drew

That's right, the first 3 day weekend of the new school year came and went. During that weekend Rocket watched the classic "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and talks about it at length. The movie follows the story of Johnny Depp's and Leonardo Dicaprio's characters as brothers stuck in a small town. 10/10 would watch again. Rocket also mentions an upcoming play reading Acme Theatre Company is hosting that's open to the public for the play adaptation of "A Wrinkle In Time". Rocket reads the description of the novel on the back cover of the book. Extracurricular type things are starting up at DHS and the Speech and Debate team has their first official meeting this Wednesday. Rocket reads from The Psychology Book because his history teacher also teaches psych and sometimes talks about psychology in hisory class. This show also includes some pristine jokes from the book 1001 More Cool Jokes.

Davisville, Sept. 5, 2016: The Byrds and After with Gene Parsons (part 2)

Mon, 09/05/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Today we conclude our interview with Gene Parsons, 72, who was part of The Byrds from 1968 to 1972 and performs with David Hayes in Davis this Saturday, Sept. 10 (here's part 1 of the interview). We hear more about his songs, The Byrds, the note-bending Stringbender device he invented in the 1960s, a steam engine he built in his shop, new music he’s recording with Hayes and the Mendocino Quartet, a long-ago trick in a Yucca Valley bar & grill that tapped his skills with an acetylene torch, and what's coming next. “We have a few other performances that are on the books. We don’t do a lot. We’re kind of basically semi-retired in the music biz,” he says. “We’re kind of just letting it unfold.”
