Our own Sonic Seamstress ‘Sister’ Tiny turns somewhere over 39 today.

She’s been churning out great sets of great radio for the Jive for over 5 years now.

Send her a Cheers! if you are inclined: tiny@jiveradio.org

Can you make room in your mouth for some artisan 3-year old aged cheddar?

What if you get cheddar AND help feed fire victims in Southern Oregon?

Stay tuned and help Jiveradio CUT THE CHEESE in it’s first ever Spring Cheese Incident.

COMING IN APRIL.

…JABBED!

See you on the dance floor…maybe this Summer?

one of the GREAT british guitarists, singers, and songwriters, the remarkable Peter Green went to sleep on July 25th and forgot to wake up.  he was 73 years old.

 

everybody knows Fleetwood Mac.  but not many know that the band was created by Green back in ’67, along with drummer mick FLEETWOOD and bassist john MACvie.  and many of us don’t know that that first version of the Mac was EXTREMELY popular, at least in the UK.  they were STARS, mainly because of Green, who was really good. the author of Black Magic Woman (yep, that’s a fleetwood mac song covered by santana) and a revered guitarist (none other than B.B. King once said Peter was the only guitarist who could give him chills), it’s obvious we need to pay tribute to his memory and legacy.

 

so yes….a tribute show is coming.  it’s currently in production, stay tuned for details……should be ready to roll by thursday?

 

 

 

one of the GREAT singer songwriters has passed on.  yep, a victim of the corona bug.  john prine was 73, and his death wasn’t a shock.  his family announced last week that he had been admitted to a nashville hospital, and that things weren’t going well.  john, in his seventies, had danced with cancer often these last few years, so he fit the profile of a person who was going to struggle with this virus.  and sure enough….the bug was too much.

hey, john effing prine was too much!  so if you feel like doing some prine time today, here are some quick suggestions that can’t miss.  his first record now can be seen as a towering achievement in folk rock acoustic coolness.  called John Prine, it’s just way good.  also terrific listens are Sweet Revenge from ’73, his “best of ” record called Prime Prine will obviously work, and then you got The Missing Years from ’91, and the awesome Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings from ’95.  all really really really really good records.

yes, a tribute show is gonna get done.  what the heck, it’ll be far more rewarding than watching another crummy science fiction flick on NF!

 

 

Our crack street team in the heart of the Mississippi Delta town of Clarksdale spotted this Jive graffiti outside Red’s Juke Joint.
