Noah Byrd on Listening Lyrics Friday 7/24/15 at 4:00PM

Mon, 07/20/2015 - 2:58pm | Pieter Pastoor

"We finally landed an interview with Noah Byrd. Spend an hour with this local songwriter, right before he leaves to tour the Pacifc Northwest. With a voice compared to Elliot Smith and Bradley Nowell, he combines melancholic vocals with punk-influenced acoustic guitar, giving an aggressive undertone to his otherwise laid-back sound."

All new to you? No worries. Sit back and enjoy. It's indie rock with an Americana feel--swell sounds for a summer day.

Davisville, 7/13/15: The Hand on the Mirror, and life beyond death

Mon, 07/13/2015 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

JanisHDurham 3.jpg

Janis Heaphy Durham, perhaps best known in this region as the publisher of the Sacramento Bee from 1998 to 2008, has written a book about life after death, based on events she experienced after her husband Max Besler died in 2004--unexplained sounds, stopped clocks, flickering lights, the powdery shape of a hand in her home. In “The Hand on the Mirror,” and on today’s show, she describes what she has seen, what she has come to believe, and says we need a lot more research. “Why not fund the study of consciousness?” she writes. “Serious awards for serious scientists investigating consciousness, to prove or disprove that it exists separately from brain function, would be incredibly worthwhile.”
