Featuring all live recordings of local artists, this special episode celebrates the renewal of Spring with the lively harmonies of Davis duo Duval Speck, the Brazilian space-funk of Boca do Rio, the world beat of Yolo Mambo, and the bossa nova/samba sounds of Son Nosso, whose members hail from Brazil, Sweden, Mexico, and Davis.

Duval Speck was recorded live by DJ Jim Buchanan in downtown Davis at E Street Plaza and Davis Central Park. The other bands were recorded live at Davis Odd Fellows Hall during the monthly Thursday Live! concert series.

Do you remember when Freddie Oakley was our Elections official for Yolo County?  She has done so much more than that!  I've know Freddie for many years, interviewed her here several times, had her as a guest on my television series back in the 1990s, and she even hosted that show once ("Thoughtfulness" on DCTV).  Today on That's Life, we reminisce about the old days (good old days? bad old days?) and hear what Freddie has been doing since she retired. 

Retired?  HAH!  Busier than ever is more like it!  Hope you enjoy the chat.
