KPFA Fundraiser: Annual 16-hour Greatful Dead Show begins now!
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 12:14 PM by GregD
At no time in the past 50+ years, when this venerable community resource was born, there may have never been a more critical moment.

They are one of few voices who speak truth to power.

If you are not plugged in to KPFA and Pacifica Radio, time's-a-wasting. The Morning Show, Democracy Now, Guns n Butter, Flashpoints - and the evening news provide more value in one day than any local Clear Channel station will provide in their lifetime. And that is a mere sampling...

In the face of the regretable demise of www.ieamericaradio.com, we must protect those that remain.

Today is the day of the annual David Ganz 16-hour Greatful Dead Marathon. Listen in, twirl, smile, and know we all have much work to do. And of greatest importance, PLEDGE!

http://www.gdhour.com has a link to the playlist, as well as a lisk to their donation page.

Raise the volume... Enjoy the ride! And keep it kicked all day please! The show has now begun...

The show is streamed...

Long live KPFA!
www.kpfa.org


On edit, how could I forget The Morning Show!

1. Oh the good old days go on forever!
Once upon a time---the Dead would broadcast a show live over the NPR satelite distrubution system and stations would roll with it.
Out here in KVNF land, Western Colorado, we went DEAD FOR A DAY when a show from Toronto was fed back in the early 80s. Featured The Dead, The Band, Wavy and Kesey as MC's, and a final with all. Lasted all day. Now, if I can only find the tapes----!

6. great clips of the new Garcia/Grisman CD being played!
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 04:01 PM by twilight
and it is called "Been All Around This World" (not yet released but soon is the word!) and you can get one for yourself - an $80.00 donation before it is released! :D



This is just a great show and to be able to pick it up on the computer ALL day on a dial-up connection for those of us without DSL makes it even more fantastic!!!! :party: :party: :party:

:D :D :D Lots of memories flowing out here with the Good Old Grateful Dead! :D
