map~outlinedDavis~vert.jpg

 

On 3 October, Thursday at 1:00pm, "That's Life" host Lois Richter will interview Councilmember Dan Carson. He will explain about the CHANGE TO DISTRICT ELECTIONS. Both the history of why it happened and the complex process we are now in to finish setting things up.

There will be more public meetings, but things are happening VERY fast (because of the state-mandated 90-day timeframe) so if you are interested in elections, NOW is the time to pay attention!

If you have questions you would like me to pose to Dan, please email them to the show's new eddress -- KDRT.ThatsLife@gmail.com -- before 8:00 am Thursday.

"That's Life" broadcasts live at 1 pm Thursdays, re-plays @ 2pm Sundays.

Our guests today talk about the demographic trend and some of the effects we're already seeing in Davis and Yolo County: Christi Skibbins, executive director of Meals on Wheels in Yolo County, and Sheila Allen, executive director of the Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance.

High Country Music Radio Explores the Music of the Bristol Recordings, Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 11 a.m.

Sun, 09/22/2019 - 9:18am | David A. Reynolds

Screen Shot 2019-07-26 at 7.25.05 AM.png

High Country Music Radio

If you’re following the Ken Burn’s documentary “Country Music,” you’ll have heard about the Bristol recordings. In 1927 Ralph Peer, with the Victor Talking Machine Co., set up a temporary music studio in Bristol, Va., to record Appalachian musicians and their songs. The best-known artists emerging from the sessions are Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. Rusty Nail will explore the Bristol recordings, pairing an original recording with a more contemporary cover of that same song. One cover featured in this week's program includes Boz Scaggs with Duane Allman on guitar. The show will open with two songs highlighting families living and working in coal country. Not often associated with country music, Natalie Merchant contributes to the coal country song list, and provides beautiful and haunting vocals.

Joel Daniel Shares His Music and Story. Recorded Sep 13th, 2019

Fri, 09/13/2019 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Joel D.jpg

Joel Daniel - listen in now 

Joel is a longtime resident of Davis, California.  In his twenties he started a band with his closest friends called Shayna and the Bulldog ("SatB") (https://shayna.bandcamp.com/), an Americana / Indie Rock band. They made two albums together and played hundreds of shows throughout the Western and Southwestern US.  

Somewhere along the way, Joel started a children's band called, The Hoots, (www.hootquarters.com).   For this project, he's written four albums of material, won countless awards - including: a Parent's Choice Award - sold many records, and played hundreds of shows.  Joel started producing an educational children's video series called, Hoot Quarters, starring an owl, who thinks he knows everything, but doesn't, and the The Hoots, who help said owl, Oliver, along the right path. 

Recently Joel started writing some new "grown up" music.  In the summer of 2019 he started to play these songs out in public.  They are the first songs he would consider to be solo songs - outside of The Hoots -that he has written and performed.  He hopes to record them in the coming months and play them out in a more band oriented context in the near future.
