It's Opening Day, right?

So get your glove, grab a bat and check out The Golden Road broadcast from April 5th. A great way to start off the season.

Gene Parsons, who played and sang in the Byrds for most of the final years of the 1960s/70s rock band, talks about that experience and more on the next edition of “Davisville,” a public affairs program on Davis community radio station KDRT 95.7 FM.

Hey out there in Radio Land!

This Sunday, on the Golden Road, we will highlight the legendary 3/18/77 show of the Grateful Dead at San Francisco's infamous Winterland Arena. Hard to let the month of March go on by without turning the spotlight on a show that included the first pairing of Scarlet Begonias & Fire On The Mountain, breakout versions of Estimated Prophet, and the beautifully orchestrated Terrapin Station including the once-performed "Alhambra" portion of the suite.

Ever wonder what it takes to keep a business running for 21 years? Tune into KDRT 95.7 FM this Wed., March 18 at 10 a.m. to hear Heather Caswell, owner and style coach of The Wardrobe, share her unique perspective on small business and community activism.

It’s a hyper-local issue, but it affects everyone who drives to central Davis. Joy Cohan, administrator of the Davis Downtown Business Association, talks about the persistent problem of downtown parking on the late March edition of Davisville.

Says Joe, "no, don't do that, I might just play it later."

The world is Joe Craven’s toolbox
by Nancy Bodily

Joe Craven sucks in his cheeks, drops his jaw, rolls his eyes back into
his head and begins to play … his face … with mighty hands tapping out
“Turkey in the Straw.” The rhythm is true, a nice hollow sound, and you can
tell he’s done this a time or two, his face just one of the many tools in
his box, “when the world is your musical oyster.”
Craven the musician, teacher, grassroots organizer, MC, crazy hat
wearing, larger than life artist is in the KDRT studio and he’s brought j
