In keeping with the season, this afternoon on In the Key of Folk we'll include both contempory and old celtic ballads that are... what -- spooky, tragic, mysterious, or just good tales?

On tonight's show:
Sahaya International, a Davis nonprofit, took shape after a chance meeting when founder Dr. Koen Van Rompay (pictured), a researcher at UC Davis, was in India for an AIDS conference. Since then Sahaya has grown into a group of friends and donors, many in Davis, who give money to help people in developing countries by relying on local knowledge, trust, and long-term connections.
Sahaya celebrates its 25th anniversary at Veterans Memorial Theater on Nov. 2. Today on Davisville we talk with Van Rompay about how Sahaya began, what it does, and how it operates. Sahaya’s tax return says they raised and gave away about $830,000 in 2023.
“There’s much that we can do if we just join hands together, especially if you find people you trust,” he said. He’s just as happy if Sahaya’s work inspires people to do something useful outside the charity, “close to their heart,” on their own — the ripple effect.
There's a lot of fun coming your way in Yolo/Sacto this week — including our very own KDRT Suds & Sounds this Wednesday eve at Armadillo Music, Halloween happenings galore, and some excellent touring bands. Keep up to date this and every week with the KDRT Events Outlook, airing live daily at noon at 6 p.m. and always available via kdrt.org!
Tonight on the Electric Compost Heap on KDRT 95.7FM, we will feature a few tracks from the Funky Lagos edition of the classic Nigeria 70 series; we'll also sprinkle some Halloween tunes into the overall Electro-Compostic mix, so it's gonna be a great time. Hope you can join us at KDRT.org!
Today on the Russ Tolman Goodtime Hour, we chat with Sid Griffin of the Long Ryders about his new solo album, upcoming Long Ryders and Coal Porters dates, his spring U.S. tour with Peter Case, and 32 years as a yankee in London. Join Russ and Sid at 5p Pacific on KDRT 95.7 fm | KDRT.org.
