It took us 8 years, but finally in 2021 we are ready to help homeless and pet dogs and to seed and spread compassion in our communities.

For Wavy Gravy’s 87th birthday this week, the mail brought me the new Dave’s Picks Vol. 46, featuring the Grateful Dead show recorded at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Sept. 9, 1972.

This show is interesting, with a heartfelt "He’s Gone" since Pig had just recently passed, and a 35-minute "Other One." Wherever you are on The Golden Road, check it out!

The Folk Brothers for May 17, 2023: Remembering Chris Strachwitz

Wed, 05/17/2023 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

OIP.UPEEHhGwY7ODXyOtnUPYyAHaIW.jpeg

Although not a musician himself, Strachwitz -- who passed away last week at the age of 91 -- had an outsize inflience on the world of roots music through his record company Arhoolie, which has been going strong for over 60 years. Strachwitz championed Norh American vernacular musicians -- playing and singing acoustic blues, Norteno, Zydeco, Cajun, and more -- at a time long before the genre we now call "World Music" came into vogue. This morning we heard from a few of the many great musicians recorded on Arhoolie, including that first release by Mance Lipscomb in 1960.

Davisville, May 15, 2023: Integrating a traumatic week into Davis

Mon, 05/15/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Spring 2023.JPG

How do you make sense of what just happened in Davis? Two people stabbed to death in public parks, and a third person seriously injured. The town’s responses included mourning for David Breaux and Karim Abou Najm, vigils, donations to help Kimberlee Guillory recover from her injuries, and fear, followed by a huge sense of relief when Davis police arrested the suspected killer.

And — now what? How do you find perspective? Listening can be a start. Today on Davisville we talk with Susan Cosio, a retired hospital chaplain, ordained pastor and longtime resident of Davis, who has spent most of her adult life helping people navigate crises.
