We’re happy to announce the new Dan Hicks page, which will be dedicated to all things Dan. There’s several concert recordings and pictures to come, all starting with a playful set from Dan and Deux Messieurs at the now hallowed Hacienda del Sol circa 1986. See the DAN PAGE UNDER THE “CONCERTS” MENU/TAB ABOVE.
THAT WAS ALL SUCH GREAT RADIO! Thanks to Tiny, Di, and Doug for curating such beautiful music and commentary for our nation’s big-ass birthday.
Broadcasters have been urged (by their federal governing agency) to be sure and air suitable patriotic programming to honor our country’s 250th. When it comes to the Jive-O-Sphere, the first artists that came to mind were Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, but then there’s about 1000 more, and then there’s Jesse Wells. So, we’re going to have them all on the Fourth of July, all day long… A special pot of gumbo from all of us musical chefs to you. Fourth of July. All day. And night.
This next selection from the Jiveradio vault marks the first return for Elvis and his band The Attractions to the US after his explosive premier tour the year before, supporting his album release of “My Aim is True”. It captures Elvis at his fiery best. It joins the growing list of live concert recordings available nowhere else but Jiveradio, on the ‘Concerts’ tab above. Enjoy some Elvis like you seldom hear him on our Elvis page HERE.
I just stumbled onto this piece from about five years ago from our “Press” menu (above). To think that we are still on the air almost 5 years later in this, our schizoclectic version of radio, is due to nobody else but you, our listeners. Our only support. BRAVO!

And if you’d like a couple of classic Bruce nuggets, here’s a pair that the Reno News & Review just re-posted from ’98, about Jethro’s attempt to build a Hillbillies hotel in Reno: HERE
After 36 some years of baking up his weekly risky biscuits, radio DJ extraordinaire Don Darue spits in the skillet and hangs it up on the wall alongside his spurs and worn out chaps. One of the best, most natural radio personalities to ever hit the airwaves, we wish Don and his beautiful wife Tracy and their kids Lucy and Dash loads of happy sunrises and sunsets as they ride into the future.
It’s my guess that while the Hayseed Hoot moves into the history books, we haven’t heard Don’s dulcet tones on the airwaves for the last time. Who knows. You can follow Don on Facebook and at least for a while on his website at hootradio.net where you can also pick up some mighty spiffy ‘Range Wear’ and other merch.
Best wishes to you Dondo! ~’jeffo’
