This week we have a very special edition of the Golden Road featuring the mighty fine music of the David Grisman Quintet! Over the last forty years or so, David Grisman (aka Dawg) has carved out a unique musical space called Dawg music, which is a blend of jazz, bluegrass, gypsy jazz and folk. Backing the Dawg was a great band with great players that included Tony Rice, Todd Philips and Darol Anger (and later Stephane Grappelli). Featured tonight is Dawg music from 1977 to 1979. Amazing music in our humble opinion. And rounding out this week’s broadcast are a couple tunes by Jerry Garcia and Dawg from their release So What. Now get comfy because there is lots of great picking and playing this week!

“Go West.” Today’s program is called “Go West” which is the title of a song on our playlist and is also a general descriptor for the songs to come. You’ll hear from the High Country Cowboys, The Cowboy Way, “V” the Gypsy Cowbelle, Donnie Poindexter, Adrian, Jean Prescott and many more. It’s all good music, so enjoy!

Co-ops are GREAT! And Davis has lots of them. Today we hear from Kim Coontz, executive director for the California Center for Cooperative Development (CCCD) about coöperatives in general and housing coöps in detail.
The Davis Food Coop is only one of many co-operatives we have in town. And only one KIND of coöp common in California. Ag coöps and housing coöps are the most prevalent. Worker-owned businessed are also common.
CCCD is a non-profit organization which promotes the creation of co-ops and helps folks who are setting up or running one. A great group.
