And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Album of the Week, Sep. 27, 2023: Rising Sun Melodies by Ola Belle Reed

Today's Album of the Week compiles performances recorded in the 1970s by Ola Belle Reed. It's called Rising Sun Melodies.

From Smithsonian Folkways: "Ola Belle Reed was a trailblazing force for women in bluegrass music, an Appalachian woman of hard-earned talent and generous ways who delivered honest music sung from the heart. Her songs 'I've Endured,' 'High on the Mountain,' 'My Epitaph,' and many others forge real-life experiences into music steeled with determination, family tradition, and commanding presence.

"[These] classic tracks ... remind us why the light of Ola Belle's music shines brightly to this day."

“I love the fall,” says Sara TAPS, host of The Awesome Patrol Show. “It inspires the best playlists from me, and I love being able to witness nature’s physical transition of the colors, of the leaves turning, because it means we’re almost done with another year and hopefully we’ve changed a little bit too -- and so maybe our landscape is looking a little more colorful, or maybe we’ve simplified and gone monochrome and we’re just like totally in this favorite hue of whatever we want to be, and be doing.”

Sara starts this week’s program with “Nox Lumina” from Lux Prima (the picture shows the album cover) by Karen O and Danger Mouse, “one of my favorite records, and from there, we’ll ride a roller-coaster of sound.”

‘He’s just a kid, but God can he play the piano’

Wed, 09/20/2023 - 8:54am | kdrtradio

Chico Hamilton Quintet, Aaron Diehl.png

3rd Streaming presents 20th and 21st century classical, jazz, and motion picture music, and DJ Gary Chew has songs from all of the genres on this week’s show.

He starts with songs from two musicians from different eras who were born this time of year — “I Want to Be Happy,” by the Chico Hamilton Quintet, recorded in 1955, followed by “Blue Nude” by Aaron Diehl, released in 2013. (The photo shows covers from their respective records.)

Hamilton would have turned 102 on Sept. 20, Gary says. Diehl was born on Sept. 22, 1985. “He’s just a kid, only 38 years old,” Gary says, “but God can he play the piano.”

Davisville, Sept. 18, 2023: How to reduce all that conflict we're feeling (repeat from 2021)

Mon, 09/18/2023 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Arrows of conflict.jpg

This program first aired on Feb. 1, 2021

I recorded this soon after Joe Biden became president. The U.S. had just endured a bitterly contested election, and the conflicts that tear at the country showed no signs of going away -- then or now. To do more than separate into groups and shout at each other, we need to do a better job of addressing and resolving conflicts. On this edition of Davisville Kara Hunter, executive director of the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center, talks about how to handle conflict, wherever we find it.

She believes the quantity of conflict might not have increased in recent years, but our exposure to it has. Also, people might have become more comfortable sharing their disdain, disappointment and disillusionment.
