We like anniversaries here at the Golden Road and this week we have a big one! This week marks the 40th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s October 1978 five-night stand at Winterland. Billed as the From Egypt With Love shows, these concerts (October 17th,18th & 20th- 22nd) were played just a month after their Egyptian fieldtrip. If their Egyptian shows were subpar, the band made up for it over the five night as every one of these shows was extraordinary! And guess what? Our esteemed Golden Road founder and Silver Nine Volt Heart host, Rodriquez went to all five nights and has kindly agreed to sit in with us this week and play cherry-picked highlights from these stellar shows! Thank You Rodriquez!

Skyler and Julia of the Yo! and the Electric joined us this week. Yo! And The Electric formed in 2017. This psychedelic group gets its inspiration from such artists as Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, and The Beach Boys. Based in Sacramento, Yo! And The Electric self-released "Spartacus," an EP of original psychedelic jams, in August, and is known for blending '60s pop sensibilities with cool undertones of jazz. The band offers a full rich sound that has a wonderful depth.
Band members are: Skyler Leftridge, Julia Stimson, Ryan Coughran, Dane Skinner, and Patrick Lema.

“Western Drift.” The October 19th episode of Cowboy Tracks is filled with western songs and poems that could well become your new favorites. There will be less talk and more music today so that your mind can drift along in the western wind. Listen and be replenished!

Today's guests are Roberto Jimenez from Mutual Housing California and Lisa Baker from Yolo Housing. We hear about the state of housing in Davis and in our region generally -- finding out percentages of home ownership, rental, and homelessness. Did you know that MOST people in California RENT rather than own their own home? Houses, duplexes and aprtments are all part of the rental landscape; and affording to live in one is a challenge for many people. |
