Sort of thinking about the idea of “manhood” lately, since it seems to be part of the election cycle discourse. So a few songs about the Guys, and some random bits and bobs, ending with a bit of autumn and something from the great Peggy Lee.
A little swimming, a bunch of rambling around, some old-time ballads, and even a bit of Miles Davis.
It’s California Public Radio Day! Celebrating all kinds of radio – especially the kind you listen to deep in the night under the covers, all dreamy and cozy.
Still fangirling over the 2024 Olympics: Simone! Ilona! Pommel Horse Guy! Turkish sharpshooter! Dressage! Fencing! Those Irish rowers from Skibereen! Lots of songs about Gold and Silver for the win!
Still standing after a couple of bumpy weeks! Happy to have you along for the ride with plenty of favorites, and a new track from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

Just another hot July night.
It’s the 4th of July. It’s all about Independence and Freedom.
Early Summer vibes with new track from Nick Lowe, The Decembrists, Iron & Wine, and The Wonder Women of Country. Plenty of old favorites as well.
It’s the summer solstice! All things summery, sunny, and sometimes a little sad.
Spring and All…
Last night of the Fund Drive…still hoping to make our goals. It’s a Big Backyard.
A solo fund drive show with lots of songs about walking and driving…and ending with the best song ever about Cubism.
Just an hour, continuing from Bonnie and Derk’s California theme for the first fund drive Thursday.
Songs about Stars (to complement Bon’s set about Sleep I guess!) and some songs about ramblin’ and roamin’, since I shall be doing neither while I recuperate from foot surgery. We end with super-floaty dreamy sort of music if you’re feeling meditative….
A bunch of songs about records, owning records, playing records, making records, selling records to pay the rent…then just a bunch of good records.
1st Hour: Lots of new tunes from Bonny Light Horseman, Ana Edge, Kyshona, Sierra Ferrell, Ruth Moody, Adeem, John Moreland, Linda Thompson…then we mellow out into love and happiness.
Some calamity and some healing…all part of the Package.
Another rainy night in Northern CA.
Coming to the end of Women’s Month, let’s do another all-girl program. It’ll be a corker!
Spring and other Rainy Days…
Back in the Saddle after a long fund drive – a few new tracks, but mostly a mish-mash of good stuff.

A fund drive show with lots of new music.
A little Bacharach, and a lot of new songs from Dale Ann Bradley, Slaid Cleaves, Steve Lacy, St Paul & the Broken Bones, and Mya Byrne. Also, Rissi Palmer, Nick Drake, Billy Strings, Stevie Wonder, Birds of Chicago and more!
Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative…All the moods.
Some fab new songs from Dom Flemons Josh Ritter, Nickel Creek, and Say She She. Some happy memories and wistful nostalgia as well. And wrapping up the second hour with those excellent sounds of Philadelphia.
A few new tracks from Eric Bibb, Taj Mahal, Margo Price, Wylie and the Wild West. Other fun stuff from Charley Crockett, Plains, Jennifer Warnes, David Bowie, and more. Plus a nod to the 50th anniversary of Roberta Flack’s greatest classic.
Not a lot new this week – just a pile of favorites to help us dry out and get warm from a soggy week! Though it looks like there might be some rivers running through our subconscious as we wend our way through the evening.
The upcoming Django Reinhard Birthday Festival got me listening to a pile of French Jazz and early 20th-century vocal music. So that takes up most of the show tonight. Plenty of swing, but also a little sentiment Français.
The first program of 2023! No resolutions, no theme; just a little holiday detox. A few spillover 2022 favorites from Tami Neilson, Molly Tuttle, Aloe Blacc, and The Brother Brothers, plus a new record from Andrea Pritchett.
