Asking someone to select their top 20 songs is difficult, and picking just one is impossible. But that's what we have today: one favorite song from each of several people, along with the reasons it's their favorite. I left the genres open.
Music is a mystery that touches us on so many levels at so many different times. It can make us happy, sad, or melancholy. Or maybe we're drawn to the music itself, or to the lyrics; or for many of us a song offers a look back in time that allows us to relive a past moment.
On today's show, we play songs chosen by Karin Pastoor Husebosch, Carol Hess, Rod Rodriguez, Preacher, Ed Branam, John Caroll, Jeanne Pastoor, and me, Pieter Pastoor. Listen to the stories and be moved by the power of music.

Today we played a wide variety of music from artists who will appear at the Davis Music Fest on June 14, 15 and 16.

Vices To Virtues is a powerful dynamic duo group with musicians David Martin and Violet Brown blending elements of folk, jazz, world, funk, psychedelic rock and dub with intricate vocal harmonies and powerful conscious lyricism.
Spend some time with a couple of musicians as they radiate their love of music.

There's no guest this week, due to a change of plans. So I picked some tunes that caught my attention as something new, or as something I forgot about but liked.
Included are a couple of local artists, The Philharmonik and Rumi Shimada. Check out the playlist below . Clean your ears, sit back and enjoy.

Heads up. Before you listen, please note that the last 10 minutes or so of the broadcast we had some technical diffulties.
Alex Roth is an institution in Davis and Northern California. It's been a few years since I've heard him sing live, and boy, have I missed it. In this hour Alex plays a few tunes he has recently written. During the past few years he has spent a lot of time on many of the oceans of the world. He does this as he works for International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).
On today's show Alex talks a bit about his work and creating new music, but mostly he sings his tunes. I was blown away by his guitar work, his voice, the lyrics, and of course the music. He's a very talented musician, but even more his joy as a human being shines through in this broadcast. I was lucky to catch him for his short stay in Davis.
