Today "Genealogy" means the same as "Family History". That is, discovering who your ancestors are, where they lived, and (hopefully) find stories to flesh out the bare bones of the past. Today Lois Richter and Sue Torguson suggest how to get started, where and how to organize your data, some resource ideas, and they share personal stories from their own explorations of years gone by. Featured are the local Davis Genealogy Club and the worldwide place to share your work FamilySearch.org/tree/ as well as regional and topical groups and clubs.

Today Lois begins with reminiscing about her former bookstore "(Davis Wo-Men's Books), the 1970s, being the Davis distributor of women's music (music made by and for women), the feminist movement, and groups that got started near here then.
Remembrances lead up to how "Sweet Honey in the Rock" got started in 1973. Today we listen to their 20th anniversary album "Still On The Journey" (from 1993).

Fresh off her wildly successful presentations at the UCD Arboretum -- "Birds: The Inside Scoop" and "Birds: Out and About" -- Lois was inspired to share some of the same info with you, her radio friends.

Reba McEntire ... LOTS of Reba McEntire ... "Reba McEntire's Greatest Hits" and "Reba -- Greatest Hits, Volume Two" (both from1993).

Do you know the music of Margie Adam? She is one of my favorite musicians! Singer -- songwriter -- pianist -- activist -- feminist ... the list keeps growing. Did you know that she lived in Davis in the 1970s? I had the pleasure of meeting her then, carrying her very first album in my store (Davis Wo/men's Book), and watching her career take off. She moved from Davis to the Bay Area long ago and toured for many years before changing gears in 2015 to do integrative counseling.
Today' program featured pieces from her final two albums -- "Avalon" and "Portal" -- interspersed with remembrances. This is 'part 3' of this series.

No new shows for 12/26/2019 or 1/2/2020 because the station was closed.
Instead we re-played "That's Xmas Music in December" which was first aired on 12/19/2019.

Christmas (sometimes spelled Xmas) was originally, and still is for most, a Christian religious holiday.
Xmas (sometimes spelled Christmas) is often a secular celebration of family and gifting -- a holiday that is particularly enjoyed by children.
Both Christmas and Xmas exist. Both can involve songs and music.
This show "That's Xmas Music in December" is a sampling of the music we might hear in December each year -- some religious, some secular.
These songs are from CDs that were left over after all KDRT's "Community Garage Sale" fundraiser in fall 2019. I kept them out to share with you now and in the future. (There is more than enough Xmas music songs here to make several shows!)

Seasonal music from CDs donated to a KDRT fundraiser and gotten by Lois afterward to use in December shows.
We start with "Omnis mundus jocundetur" performed by Choir of East Helsinki Music Institute (on YliesRadio) and "Traditional carols from the Tatras Mountains" performed by Jan Karpiel Group (on Polish Radio). Both are off the CD "Music for Christmas: A concert of festive music from around Europe" (a BBC special compilation CD of live or radio performances -- 25 songs, with only 2 sung in English.) |
