That's Life Lois Richter

 

Heidi Pidcoke.

A Quaker, psychotherapist, teacher, and ...

In all, a very interesting person.

 

 

What's related to what?  It's complicated.

Producing the KDRT radio progam "Jazz After Dark", our own Don Shor knows a lot about jazz and its roots.  Also about some of the spin-offs that have happened over time.  But after talking to him today Lois came away a little dizzy. 

It seems that each individual jazz player/ singer/ artist can add whatever flavor they want to their improv in the middle of a jazz performance. A little of this and a bit of that are just fine on a jazz record.

On the other hand, performers in other genres can "jazz it up" and slide their sounds over into jazz -- either by intent or by chance.

Ancestors or antecedents, some "cousins" of jazz have strong lines thru the jazz genre, while others derive from the parents of jazz.  Did I mention that jazz has LOTS of parents?

Don explains all this better than I can, so listen to the show to find out more about your jazzy family tree.

[This episode was re-broadcast on 18 and 25 April 2024.]

One of our great producers here at KDRT is Preacher.  He gives the world his "Praise Time with Preacher" every week (Tu@4pm, Sun@7am).  Featuring gospel music in the broadest sense -- that is, songs that inspire and uplift -- his show is well worth podcasting so you can hear those sweet sounds anytime at all!

Although Preacher is a long-time radio host, this was his first ever zoom call.  We did great!  Lots of laughter in this show.  Hope you enjoy our time together as much as he and I did.

History!  It's all HISTORY !!  (Family history, that is.) 

Lisa Henderson is a dynamo!  She is always very busy, yet never too busy to help if help is needed.  Lois and Lisa have worked together on many genealogy activities -- Davis Genealogy Club presentations (and now zoom meetings), the DGC website, the International German Genealogy Conference (IGGC) in 2019, and other events. We have also shared some just-for-fun times.  This episode of "That's Life" was recorded during the pandemic and does not have current announcements. 

In 2023, Lois & Lisa became "stent buddies" after similar heart problems and "stent" solutions.  We meet monthly to check in and shared experiences and resources.

Kevin Hall managed the volunteer team taking the 2020 US Census in our area.  Here's the inside scoop on how it got done.

In addition to census-work, Kevin is a budding author and will [soon?] publish his book under the name "Kevin Ross Hall" -- because it turns out "Kevin Hall", "Kevin Ross", and "K.R. Hall" are already in professional use.  We talked about his writing, his family history, and genealogy in general.
