Listening Lyrics, Jan. 23, 2026: Remembering Bill and Diane

Recently, KDRT lost two truly wonderful and creative super-volunteers—friends who helped shape the heart and soul of this station. Diane Crumley and Bill Wagman were long-time members of the KDRT family, deeply committed to community radio and to showing up, week after week, with generosity, curiosity, and care.

Today, I’m sharing an hour of upbeat, sing-along music—not to mark a loss, but to celebrate a life well shared. This hour is about the joy, the laughter, and the connection Diane and Bill brought into our lives.

So stay with me, turn it up, sing along—and let’s celebrate them together.

RIP Bill Wagman

We here at KDRT – along with the entire music-loving community – lost an excellent friend and colleague this week in Bill Wagman. In addition to hosting our own Sometimes Folk and Folk Brothers programs, Bill could be heard for years on KDVS, presenting a fine array of music, from traditional folk to the latest sounds, including American roots and its offshoots. Bill also brought many touring artists to his wonderful house concerts over the decades. We will miss his knowledge and love of music, his ongoing positivity and support, and his smile. Please do enjoy some of his past shows, on the air and in our archives at KDRT.org. RIP, Bill.
