Also on today's show: the story behind San Sweeney's "Unfinished Violin," new music from The Trials Of Cato, Maya De Vitry, John Smith, Rhiannon Giddens, and so much more!

Tune in to listen to Irish Ballad Group The High Kings, vocalist Kate Rusby, Irish-Celt band Boys of the Lough, fiddler and hardanger player Colin Farrell, Sharon Shannon and Damian O'Kane with David Kosky. We'll also hear from the UK's Coelbeg, piper Cillian Vallely and the pubroom vocals of Christy Moore with a song from his album of live material which is currently charting in the UK. Clann An Drumma share a tune of the Ghosts of Culleden and we wrap it up with a fine Irish tune from a fine local band, Donut Exchange.

This past year, Anne Ternus-Bellamy and I have sent each other occasional notes of encouragement as we've both covered the pandemic and its impact here in Yolo County. I talk to people about their experiences, while Anne has been deeply immersed reporting on the phenomenal rate of daily information generated by public health agencies and local government.
Anne grew up in San Anselmo, CA, where she first started writing for newspapers. She graduated with a degree in journalism from Northwestern University, and afterwards headed to Sacramento to work for a legal newspaper covering the state Capitol and courts. She took a long break from working full time — about 10 years — to stay home with her kids, though she still freelanced for the Enterprise and other publications and spent many years volunteering with Davis schools. |

It’s been a nerve-wracking year, so maybe we could use some Nerve Wrackin’ Theatre. And that’s what we now have, thanks to today’s guest and Davis Media Access. In March, DMA began airing a syndicated show by the name of Lord Blood-Rah's Nerve Wrackin’ Theatre that observes the late-night tradition of airing monster and sci-fi movies, sometimes of terrible quality, for fun, humor, diversion, and occasionally an insight or two. Host Frank Wallace-Ailsworth, aka Lord Blood-Rah, hosts the program from his home in the Bay Area.
In Davis, you can find his show at 10:30 p.m. Saturdays on DCTV (channel 15 on Comcast, menu 99 on ATT U-Verse); listen to this interview to find out why on earth you might want to.
For more about the program, including viewing options if you don't have cable, see http://www.lordbloodrah.com/
