Lots of long playing records fill the airwaves (or internet packets of zeroes and ones) on this episode of Live Tracks. First aired August 31, 2017, the Summer of Love (1967) was all the rage once again as we collectively licked our mental wounds following the unfortunate election of what would prove to be the worst electoral mistake collectively made by the voters of this wonderful country [the regrettable electee's name rhymed with dump].
Miraculously sober for the entire two hours of this program, your host honored the music of an era that featured creative, emotive songwriting. You will hear the Stone Ponies, Savoy Brown, Country Joe and the Fish and much more. Revel in the wonders of true dynamic range (instead of highly compressed sonic train wrecks).
Peace.

Many, many questions this time! (Some carried over to the next show.)
Gardening for butterflies,
hanging baskets for coastal zones,
time to plant brassicas (cabbage-family) and a winter garden,
persimmon trees struggling to establish,
tomatoes that didn't do well, and more.

David Hosley had led a very full life. Lois could have interviewed him about many many different things and filled up a show -- his long media career (starting at age 12!), being a renowned investigative reporter, teaching at various colleges and universities, UC administration, managing LOTS of radio and tv stations, producing six documentaries, training journalists in ethics, heading non-profits, talking about the history of migration into California and the challenges of life in the San Joaquin valley, and sharing thoughts on community, economy, social assumptions, and why people work after retirement. As I say, we COULD have filled up an hour on any of those. Instead, because we met working together on a project of the Davis Genealogy Club, we started with family history and went from there.
So how do I know all those other things about David Hosley? We actually touch on them all during this show! Jam-packed and fully loaded, this episode is definitely a keeper.
