Hello out there in Radio Land!
On December 25th, The Golden Road show will air it's annual broadcast of some epic sounds recorded live on some of those epic New Years Eve concerts in San Francisco by The Grateful Dead. If you ever had the supreme opportunity to attend one, you know just what I mean...and if you didn't, well...you can get a real good taste of what the soundtrack to these grand affairs was like!
In this edition of The Golden Road, we'll be pulling out some great material from NYE shows at the Cow Palace, Winterland Arena and what is now known as the Bill Graham Civic Center (formerly SF Civic). If you want to catch the signal from the K-D-R-T antenna, the live broadcast will be Sunday, 12/25 from 7 to 9 pm, and replays will be on Friday, 12/30 from 11 pm to 1 am, and Saturday, 12/31 from 3 to 5 pm. And, of course, you can catch it anytime at your leisure via the station web site...www.kdrt.org
Here's the broadcast:
And here's a vid from the legendary NYE from 12/31/78...aka the Closing of Winterland. Enjoy!
An hour of jazz standards tonight!

Well Alright!
Tune in to K-DIRT this Thursday, December 22nd from 7:00 to 8:00 pm for the annual good ol' dose of holiday tunes...Grapevine style! No, you won't hear the usual stuff that typically permeates the retail world...no Andy Williams in a ski sweater by a crackling fake fire on a soundstage set...but you WILL be treated to Christmas & holiday music by the likes of Salomon Burke, Pearl Bailey, The E Street Band, Wilson Pickett and many more...heck, I even dug out my 45 of George Thoroughgood & The Delaware Destroyers laying down "Rock & Roll Christmas" b/w "New Year's Ever Party" for the broadcast.
This will be a real fine soundtrack to wrap up those gifts & finally cut loose from the chains of holiday stress.
Here's some other info that you may wanna know:
Enjoy the tail end of 2011 folks and remember, if anyone asks...just tell 'em you heard it on The Grapevine!
Cheers,
Rod

LEAVING
By Deborah Pope
I was waiting for you
at the end of the long
gravel road that wound
through the woods,
the house barely visible
back in the trees,
two windows lit
and balancing
November’s early dark.
Walking out, I had watched
a sky turning from bone
to ash to black.
I had money and night
things stuffed in my bag,
I hoped you would see me
in the headlights.
A soft rain began.
It fell on the shoulders
of my upturned coat,
wet my face, my hair,
I could hear it falling
through the tough, hard
oaks and beeches,
the late autumn leaves
still stubborn on the trees,
sounding like birdshot,
or grains of sand
steadily, finely pouring.
And I thought suddenly
how I wanted to forget you,
forget everything,
that moment
go utterly blank,
so that I could
come back
and remember it
all from the start
to that waiting,
alone in the fresh,
cold night
and the rain
ticking, ticking.
