Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: A blues classic that became a hard-rock blueprint, some new-wave sounds, and a song of enduring peacefulness. We also hear an enigmatic icon of the underground. All that plus Jackie DeShannon, The Del-Lords, Dave Edmunds and much more.

Thanks, that’s deeply appreciated. I love going on with Jon (or Misti or Bryan). Those conversations are a lot different than the carefully scripted show.

I'll be on 90.9 The Bridge with Misti Mundae from 1 to 4 today and again on Thursday from 5 to 7 with Jon Hart to ask you to support local arts, culture and radio. With the recent elimination of federal funding for all public media, your membership means more than ever.

I played an Oasis b-side ("Talk Tonight") a couple of weeks ago. This one is from an earlier decade and a different continent.

This week's edition of Revival on 90.9 The Bridge falls on Easter Sunday, and for the second straight year, we’re playing nothing but jazz. We hear Kansas City classics from Count Basie and John Patton, funky soul jazz from Lee Morgan and Reuben Wilson, and something bouncy from Bud Powell.
