Route 66 is known as America's Mother Road. As one of the first highways, it was the gateway to the west. Dust Bowl migrants of Texas and Oklahoma in the 1930s and easterners in the 1940s relied on the road to take them to new lives in the west. In the 1950s, the highway was packed with station wagons of vacationing families headed for California. Route 66 is a symbol of American freedom, opportunity, adventure and the promise of the open road. This week's program features western songs about Route 66, towns along the route, the call of the road and the travel spirit.

Former Yolo County Archivist Mel Russell will give us a 100-year-old NEW FLASH on 'That's Life' on 26 October 2017 (Thursday @ 1pm, Friday @ 3pm)! Her second talk in the series 'Lest We Forget' will cover the second six months of World War I as experienced by residents of Yolo County: On the home front there is extensive activity by the Red Cross, YMCA, various schools, and the newly formed ultra-patriotic 'Liberty Leagues'. Young draftees are disbursed to training camps throughout the nation. 'Enemy Aliens' now have to register with the government. Some Yolo boys are on the troop ship 'Tuscania' that sinks in the Irish sea killing 210 men, while others finally make it 'Over There'. Now we get word of our very first causalities of the war. And also of our first medal for bravery -- when the French 'Croix de Guerre' is awarded to ambulance driver Herbert Hope, a volunteer from Yolo County.
100 Years Ago Today = Still at War!
On today's program we'll be bringing to you a mix of music and poetry from Trinity Seely, Asleep at the Wheel, Ian Tyson, Dave Stamey, Marleen Bussma and more. Settle in for a roundup of real music that's easy on the ears and soothing to the soul.
Moody Slough (Pronounced Moody Slooooo) is an acoustic-based project of original tunes. Joe Sanders appreciates more and more the sound of an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the simplicity it brings while writing a song. Over the years, music has always been his main focus. When writting his music he didn't see these songs as the beginnings of a project. “Moody Slough” is just the name that he slapped on that project once I figured out that it could really be a project. Joe's ultimate dream is to one day be able to pay his rent and bills through playing music.
