Who are the Amazing Grapes you say?

The Amazing Grapes is Bob Palasek, Erich Sylvester, and Mike Billo.
The band performs songs from the classic jug bands of the 1920s, as well as some hillbilly hokum, old time jazz and ragtime.
The band employs all the classic sounds of the jug band: harmonica, banjo, guitar, jug, and kazoo, plus fiddle, mandolin, and washboard.
Erich and Bob are Alumni of the Cincinnati Dancing Pigs, one of America's oldest, ongoing Jug Bands.
Mike is a 40 year veteran of the San Francisco Jug Band scene.

I had lots of fun with todays show featuring women in Jug Band Music.

I'm looking forward to May 17th when we will have, live in the studio, The
Amazing Grapes. Led by Erich Sylvester, a long time jug band player, the Amazing Grapes are a superb jug band. I am really looking forward to this.

I think I sent this to the wrong place the first time : )

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.
