Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment. 

Live Tuesday 6-8pm
Replays Thursday 4-6pm
DJ(s): 
Tree Kilpatrick

Ray Keck takes the mic on Listening Lyrics, May 9, 2025

Fri, 05/09/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

R keck.jpeg

This week on Listening Lyrics, I threw caution to the wind and handed over the keys—well, the playlist—to none other than Ray Keck (pictured), a Davis legend and music maestro in disguise.

Ray didn’t just walk into the studio—he stormed it with a playlist so good, I briefly questioned my own musical taste. (Don’t worry, I recovered.)

And behind the mic? Ray was smoother than a jazz sax solo at midnight. The guy was born for radio—I'm pretty sure his voice came with built-in reverb.

Thanks for gracing us with your presence, Ray, and for not hijacking the station entirely. We’ll keep your chair warm.

P.S. This is our fund-raising week, and wouldn't you know it? Ray contributed so he could receive his own special KDRT T-shirt.

www.kdrt.org/donate

Check out the playlist.
