I've got a speaking engagement May 24, so the Davis Garden Show program will be a compilation of conversations Lois and I have had recently all about tomatoes. See you next week!
In celebration of a new biography, Vince Guaraldi at the Piano, by Davis author Derrick Bang, music composed and performed by Guaraldi, as well as his works performed by other artists, will be featured on Jazz After Dark. Other artists will include Bobby Militello, Dave Brubeck, David Benoit, Cal Tjader, and George Benson.
The program will air Tuesday May 22 from 8 – 9 pm, and rebroadcast Saturday 9 – 10 pm and Monday 6 – 7 pm. It can be heard on your computer by livestreaming at http://kdrt.org (click on Listen Now), and as a podcast at iTunes.
Vince Guaraldi is best-known for the music in the Peanuts television specials. Derrick Bang is the author of several books on Charles M. Schulz and Peanuts.
Jazz After Dark is hosted by Don Shor.

"Boogie" Bruce Englhardt passed away Wednesday. An essential member of the Dirty Butter Jug Band, The Club Zayate Jug Stompers, and the, Tarantulas Bruce was a maistay in the Santa Cruz music scene for over 30 years. And he was a friend.
It was during an email exchange between Bruce, Mike Billo, and myself that the idea for a California jug band festival of some kind was hatched. That lead to the International Jug Band Festival in Sutter Creek, the San Francisco Jug Band Festival, the California Jug Band Association, the Santa Cruz Jug Band Jamboree and a host of other exciting opportunities for those interested in jug band music. He will be sorely missed.
Tonight I'm playing music featuring Bruce. Music that he inspired and music that inspired him.
