For nearly 30 years they have quietly made it their mission to find, mine, and reinvent other artists’ songs. Mollie and Rich are geniuses at the craft of interpretation in the way that great singers have made the songs of their era their own. As songwriters they add their own tunes to the canon of American roots music and show us they’re completely at home with their musical selves. Mollie won a Grammy in 1997 for her participation in Sugar Hill Records True Life Blues and is a member of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Rich, while known to produce some of the funniest onstage commentary, is also a powerhouse guitar player who can keep up with O’Brien’s twists and turns, from blues to traditional folk tunes to jazz and rock. Tickets: $25 online at rainshadowtickets.com <https://kptz.us10.list-manage.com/ track/click?u=6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf&id=a0a3601aaa&e=eba4e3a8b6> or $30 cash or check at the door.

FRIDAY FLOATING BRIDGE with host DJ Fishstick 7:30-9:30am THE BUZZY DONAHUE SHOW 9:30-11:30am Good old Rock and Roll. Turn it up or turn it off. A JOURNEY ALONG THE SILK ROAD Friday 12:15pm and Tuesday 5:20pm Bill Porter, or Red Pine, is one of the world’s finest translators of Chinese Poetry and religious texts. Each week, Bill will bring you a series of enticing installments that we’re calling A Journey Along the Silk Road. So sit back and enjoy the Journey and lose yourself in the mystery of the Silk Road! April 18 We’ve been visiting the sights of Jinguan, one of the four garrisons the Chinese had built along the Gansu Corridor 2000 years ago. Despite its long history, the town’s only above-ground relic from the past was its drum tower, which sits in the center of town. We caught a bus that took us to the next town down the line, which was Jiayuguan, 22 kilometers to the west. April 22 / 25 We’re in the town of Jiayuguan., and we’re still fighting a bronchial infection we get every time we travel to China. The local hospitals turned out to be a farce, if not a nightmare, so we threw ourselves at the mercy of the local pharmacy. Jiayuguan began its place in Chinese history as early as the Han Dynasty as a.checkpoint along the Gansu Corridor April 29 Now we’re actually just just six kilometers west of Jiayuguan at the fort for which the city was named. “Guan” means “pass,” and the fort was built to guard the Jiayuguan Pass. Aside from the Great Wall, the fort is the most impressive piece of construction along the Silk Road. COUNTY CONNECTIONS with host Jim Burke Friday, 12:30-12:55pm Join host Jim Burke and a rotating roster of County Commissioner co-hosts (Heather Dudley-Nolette, Heidi Eisenhour and Greg Brotherton) for discussions about what is going on with Jefferson County Government and their work being on behalf of the county.

In this reprise airing, Cris Wilson welcomes author, storyteller and old time musician Mitch Luckett to Booklovers’ Cafe. Mitch‘s latest novel titled Holy Roller Heart is set in the Missouri Ozarks. The Portland Tribune says anyone with a taste for bazaar fiction will have plenty to feast on in these pages. I certainly agree. This story is set in the 1950s where a 13-year-old Moses Grady Witt is trying to straddle a barbwire fence between Pentecostal zealotry and Ozarkian witchery. The strain at times almost rips our hero apart. Mitch himself spent the first 12 years of his life on a hardscrabble farm in hills of Missouri. He eventually settled on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, and has been a hod carrier, preschool teacher, landscaper, school bus, driver, and the Portland Audubon Nature sanctuary’s Director. He has also written two books set on the Olympic peninsula titled To kill a Common Loon and The Man in the Loon!

COMMUNITY TIDES Alternate weeks from Our Working Waterfront, Tuesday and Sunday KPTZ’s Chris Bricker, and Siobhan Canty, President & CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, explore new paradigms and new developments from our County’s good people doing good work.

Maryanne interviews Samantha Harper, the county’s Director of Waste Management. That means she's in charge of making sure the new Hadlock sewer system becomes a reality. She estimates that by mid to late June we will have an operational sewer system at least for a small section of the territory. Existing septic systems will be “de-commissioned” and raw sewage will flow through the brand-new treatment plant. This has major economic implications for the entire county. Zoning changes will allow development of many more commercial buildings and residential properties. Samantha (aka ’Sam’) believes the entire project will be up and running sometime in 2027. LOCAL NEWS PROGRAMMING KPTZ LOCAL NEWS Tuesday through Thursday 12 noon and repeating at 5pm KPTZ’s Local News Crew, Diane Walker, and Charlie Bermant, plus on Wednesdays reporters from the JeffCo.
