Sat. 8/9/ 10p: We pay tribute to the late Jerry Garcia.  It is the 19th anniversary of the untimely death of this icon in American music.  The legions of Deadheads worldwide continue to grow, as the music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead continue to transcend generations.  We will feature music from the catalogs of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.  Rounding our tribute, special guest Jonathan Longcore will offer his reflections on his personal and musical relationship with Jerry Garcia.  

Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico! I grew up in a household that loved music. When I was 14 going on 15 years of age, I began listening to KUNM. It was this experience that cemented my love for radio and especially the free-form nature of the DJ’s production. Daily I discovered new musical artists that just had to be added to my personal music library. Wherever I have traveled, I have sought out ‘good radio stations’ to satisfy my quest to hear and collect great music!
