This week on the Golden Road, we are taking a trip back to late Fall 1969 for a mix of Grateful Dead music recorded live at the New Old Fillmore (after Bill Graham closed down the Fillmore Auditorium in 1968, the venue reopened sometime in 1969 as the New Old Fillmore). This week’s music is culled from the November 8th (Dick Latvala’s favorite show!) and December 20-21 shows and features several songs by the one and only Ron “Pigpen” McKernan! Call the Fillmore Auditorium by any name, but these shows must have felt like old home week for the band and their playing was very inspired! Now get ready to dig the Pig!

Remember sitting up all night with friends listening to vinyl. Thats what this hour is about. Listening to Tari's vintage vinyl blues collection and some talking with Tari and friend Lee. This show embraces the concept of community radio.

In this third 2018 program about jazz, Don Shor (host of "Jazz After Dark" on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm) shares more history. In part 2, we heard -- and heard about -- the three most popular and well-known jazz singers. This time, we hear many of the less well-known women jazz vocalists singing over the decades. While Don says he is "not an expert", he has a lot to teach us about this quintessential American art form.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
