Dead to the World is pre-empted by KPFA fund-raising this week (Wednesday, July 23). If you aren’t already a member, we’d very much appreciate your support. Rather than doing the usual on-air pitching, we’re asking listeners to go to KPFA’s web site and either become a member or make an additional contribution. It’s the KPFA Summer Friend-Raiser! Every little bit helps, so please give something if you possibly can. Thanks!
On July 30, when I’m in the East performing at two music festivals, Sing Out! host Larry Kelp will take over my show and then follow with his own. He’ll play some of the fine 1971 Grateful Dead music that was just released on Road Trips volume 1 number 3, and then he’ll have the wonderful Claudia Russell and the Folk Unlimited Orchestra live at 9pm.
On August 6, I will be performing at the Fairfax Farmers’ Market (that’s the Fairfax in Marin County, California, not the one in Virginia). Kevin Vance, host of KALW’s A Patchwork Quilt and Thursday 5-6am music host on KPFA, will sit in for me on DTTW; he’s got some favorite Dead music from 1970 that he wants to play.
You can listen to KPFA live online at kpfa.org and kfcf.org. Dead to the World programs are archived online at kpfa.org.
