A little fire, a little sugar…
A little fire, a little sugar…
A fond farewell to Michael Hurley and other wolves…
Come on in my kitchen…
Random despair, random delight
Just be Yourself, and rock on…
Everything you want (wants you too)
One hour of Talk music to round out the fundraising evening.
Fundraising with overflowing color songs
She’s a Rainbow. Another one-hour theme round up.

Time making fools of us all,,,
Objects in this radio show are closer than they appear…
A funny time of year; adjusting to a new year and so forth. Keep warm and carry on!
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Twelfth Night, plus anything else we need to ring out the old and bring in the new with hopes and stars.
Solstice-y, Wintery, sentimental, and a little bit magical…
Happy Thanksgiving…
If we can make it through November…
A show recorded before the election results, so neither here nor there in that regard. Generally music.
A not-very-scary Hallowe’en, Samhain, All Souls, All Saints, Dia de los Muertos kind of thing. Monsters, Saints, Witches, Creatures of the Night.
A whole lotta emotion going on here…a bunch of covers, and a little election inspiration
A mish-mash of new, newish, and older tunes. A bit of Kristofferson, and a few covers. Your basic Thursday Night In…
A fundraising show disguised as a Hardly Strictly Festival preview.
A little pre-recorded shorty 11-midnight following a three-hour live fund raising extravaganza, carrying over the theme of States of the Union.
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.

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!

The Great American Songbook show.
More faves from 2023 – and a few strays.
First show of 2024! And looking back to a lot of the fine music from 2023, plus some old friends.
A Very Betty Solstice. Celebrating the light, the sun, the moon, the glorious cycles of everything.
Not sure this playlist has any overarching mood or idea; just a lot of tunes that struck my fancy this week!
Let’s Get the Band Back Together
Still confused by the time change, but finding some compass with all these timeless tunes.
A bunch of new releases crept upon me and ambushed the playlist. Hope you like them!
It’s the season of the witch.
