'Children of Sanchez' sets the tone this week on Listening Lyrics, Aug. 1, 2025

Fri, 08/01/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Childrenof Sanchez.jpg

I usually say, never start a summary with an apology. But today, I’ll make an exception. I want to apologize for not properly introducing this week’s show at the beginning of the program.

That said, this week’s episode took a powerful turn. Ray Keck joined me for an hour of reflection on the tragic consequences of war—especially its toll on innocent children. The conversation was sparked by the news of Chuck Mangione’s passing. Listening to his album Children of Sanchez led us into this moving hour of reflection through music.

Here's the playlist.

Screenshot 2025-07-30 at 11.34.29 AM.png

Summertime is Festival Time, and today In the Key of Folk brings you a program just about straight from the Vancouver B.C. Folk Festival. We're starting off with a good-bye to Tom Lehrer. Then we're moving into festival land with tracks from the Nordic group, Víík, along with the Rumbaristas and Locarno, followed by such well-known singer-songwriters as Jake Xerces Fussell, Kris Drever, Watchhouse, and more singer-songwriters from the U.S. & Canada. So join us for some new voices from the happily independent Canadian provinces! 2 p.m. Wednesday on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, CA & KDRT.org online.
