Davisville, Jan. 14, 2019: Winter is here, and the shelter is open

Mon, 01/14/2019 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Shelter image.png

Like other cities, Davis is home to people who have no home. And so each year the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter, a project of Davis congregations (mostly churches), offers overnight shelter and food to the homeless for a week at each of 10 locations. It runs from December to mid-March. Linda Scott, co-chair of the shelter and a longtime volunteer, talks about how it works, what it offers, recent changes, the main cause of homelessness among the people they serve, and the contributions of their 1,500 volunteers. The shelter helped about 140 people last year.

j malone.jpeg

We interviewed Jessica Malone about her new album "Jessica Malone Live" playing some songs from the CD and also she performed  a few live for us. Jessica Malone is an award winning singer/ songwriter who was raised in the tall mountains of far northern California. Her original music evokes a sense of wanderlust, self-discovery, positivity and moving forward. On Jessica's latest release, "The Waiting Hours" EP, drums, upright bass, violin, acoustic & electric guitar accompany her powerful and soothing vocals. Her raw and unfiltered approach to folk/ Americana songwriting creates music that will take you back in time, while her heartfelt lyrics will keep you rooted in the present.

A ‘new’ album from Erroll Garner is always something to celebrate!

We’ll hear three selections.

Davisville, Dec. 31, 2018: Bob Dunning

Mon, 12/31/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bob Dunning.jpg

Bob Dunning moved to Davis in the early 1950s, began writing for the Davis Enterprise in 1969, and started producing his daily column in 1976. At that pace, he has probably written more words about Davis than anyone. Ever. On today’s show we talk about the column, the idea that the Enterprise could use additional local voices like his from a greater variety of people in Davis, what he thinks Davis needs most, and his memories of sharing a stage with Bob Hope at the legendary comedian’s fundraiser for the Davis Senior Center in the 1980s.

Davisville, Dec. 17, 2018: Doug Hatton is one of the Santas of Davis

Mon, 12/17/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Doug Hatton at KDRT Dec 2018.jpg

Doug Hatton has appeared as Santa Claus at events in and around Davis for 22 years. On today’s Davisville he talks about the experience, what Davis kids ask for, the time a girl asked for an ATM for her room, how he manages expectations, and the enjoyment he gets from doing it all. Listening is important, he says, kids can sense if someone really wants to talk with them, and yes, his beard is real.
