we want to thank you all for donating and becoming members, in the name of community radio!  as another 'thank you' to you, we are continuing the celebratory mood by honoring those who have given birth to the original rock n' roll...  from memphis minnie to mother's finest we will travel from the roots of gospel and blues, into the leaves of funk.  the many years have bore rings of wisdom, and will continue to drop seeds for years to come.

My first show back after a five and a half month break! Thanks to Callie and the other KBOO DJ's for the interim spins.....

and in the early part of the program.... Live in-studio guests will be Rupa & The April Fishes, before their set at The White Eagle later ...

"Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rupa & the April Fishes create music that defies easy categorization. Their two albums, eXtraOrdinary rendition and este mundo, echo with influences of French chanson, Argentinean tango, Gypsy swing, American folk, Latin cumbias, and even Indian ragas. Their raucous and inviting performances have made them internationally renown, with strong followings throughout the world."
