Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Yesterday on Big Day of Giving 2024 close to 130 local nonprofits participated in BDOG, including our "mothership" Davis Media Access. Regionwide, a total of 826 nonprofits came together and the $100 million mark was surpassed in total since the area's first giving event 12 years ago. We too broke our record this year surpassing our biggest goal ever! We are extremely grateful for your support and hope to thank you in-person this spring as we are out in the community with live broadcasts from Davis Pride June 1 and from the first two days at the Davis Music Fest June 14-16. Your support on BDOG2024 goes a long way toward implementing these efforts and is greatly appreciated!

Davisville, April 29, 2024: Capitol Corridor’s plans include underpass from Olive Drive to Davis station, more trains

Mon, 04/29/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Davis train station underpass concept.jpg

The Capitol Corridor trains that connect Davis with the Bay Area and Sacramento are evolving as the service recovers from the pandemic. The corridor is adding passenger cars and resuming a full weekday schedule this year, experimenting with a tap-on/tap-off payment system to eventually replace tickets, and proceeding with plans to change access in Davis so that passengers board from an expanded center platform reached via an underpass (or perhaps an overpass) from the parking lot and Olive Drive.

Longer term, the service plans to shift to hydrogen or possibly electric power for its trains. We talk about all this, as well as this year's ridership trends and efforts to improve their timekeeping, on Davisville with Rob Padgette, managing director of the service. Today’s program updates our conversation about the corridor from early 2022.

Let's create music with Kunwoo Hong, on Listening Lyrics, April 26, 2024

My personal choice is to be around creative people. That of course does not only mean music, but today it does. I spent an hour with a jazz musician who is not only creative but also very articulate about his creative process. Kunwoo Hong creates music on his laptop with a program called Note Flight. He plays piano, but his true love is percussion. Kunwoo spent the hour going through his process of creating a song along with some of his finished work. Listen and marvel at how we humans thrive on creativity.
