Listening Lyrics

Listening Lyrics, Kurt.org, community radio

Welcome to an hour of Listening Lyrics, right here on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, California.

No musical passports required. Folk can sit next to funk, jazz can dance with rock, and a singer-songwriter might end up sharing a park bench with a reggae band. Listening Lyrics is your invitation to escape the noise of the day and enter a world of elaborate sounds, unexpected discoveries, and songs that have something to say.

This is the kind of journey only commercial-free community radio can provide.

So close your eyes. Open your ears. Relax your mind. Join me, Pieter Pastoor, as we send color to your ears and wander through the vast landscape of music and lyrics—the grand meeting place of rhythm, imagination, and the remarkable human ability to create art. Whether it's a whisper, a roar, a groove, or a melody you've never heard before, it all belongs here.

Remember: Real Music. Real Community. Real Good Music.

Live Friday 4-5pm

Davisville, Feb. 5, 2018: An exit interview with Enterprise Editor Debbie Davis

Mon, 02/05/2018 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Debbie Davis.jpg

In early March, Debbie Davis will step down as editor of the Davis Enterprise after holding the job since the early 1980s. Today’s Davisville amounts to an exit interview as she talks about the job, journalism, what she'll miss about living in Davis, parting advice for the community, and what comes next—both for her, and for the paper. She’ll be succeeded by Sebastian Oñate, who is scheduled to appear on the next Davisville; her husband Bruce Gallaudet (he’s also retiring) will be replaced by Wayne Tilcock as sports editor.
