Davisville, Dec. 27, 2021: ‘Carol’ is more than an ornament, plus prospects for more theater in Davis

Mon, 12/27/2021 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Christmas Carol horizontal.JPG

Few things created in 1843 are still relevant, but A Christmas Carol still is. One of the lasting versions of Charles Dickens’ classic story is the adaptation that today’s guest, Richard Hellesen, wrote for the Sacramento Theatre Co. in 1987. Its latest run wrapped up this month. Today we talk with Richard about what he calls the “pure luck” that landed him the offer to write the play, why Carol is timely, and why & how Davis could become more of a regional center for live theater. UC Davis, where Richard studied, is a catalyst.

It's that time again when Brother Bill drags out (just a small fraction of) his collection of cheezy holiday tracks, including ones by The Three Weissmen, The Yid Kids, Jimmy Sabata, as well as Percy Dovetonsils (who was one of Ernie Kovacs' alter egos). We are off next week and back live on Jan. 5. Happy holidays!

Celtic Songlines Winter Solstice

Screen Shot 2021-12-21 at 8.27.38 AM.png

We’re now at that special time of year when many of us celebrate holidays during the Winter Solstice, such as Yule and Christmas. Our homes feature candles, mistletoe, holly or pines creating a close connection with the natural world.

The playlist on this week’s Celtic Songlines features artists who celebrate this season through their music, to help us pause and allow us to contemplate our connection with life on this earth and with each other.

Tune in for Loreena McKennitt, Ashley Davis with John Doyle, The Gothard Sisters, Kate Rusby, The Chieftains, John Fitzpatrick, Al Petteway with Amy White, Maggie Sansome and Bonnie Rideout, and Libana.

Pieter is back in the studio, oh my -- on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 17, 2021

Fri, 12/17/2021 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Pieter at KDRT.jpg

Yes, your Listening Lyrics producer was back in the studio. With one heck of a show. 

Songs by Nils Petter Molver, Brotherly Mud, Ekimi, The Beatles, The Trials of Cato, Fairport Convention, and even a tune written by Charlie Chaplin. Some holiday stuff, a song about Thomas Paine, and so much more. It's the last show of the year, so hope to see or hear you all next year.

Happy holidays, merry Christmas, and all the best for 2022.
