In a new work by legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb, he has rendered an image of the legendary guitarist/musician Robert Johnson, from one of only two known photographs of the Blues icon. Released today, it is available in a limited edition (150) signed & numbered serigraph at Crumb’s site HERE. Like most of his work, these collectible images sell out soon after hitting the market. To see other impressive images of Blues artists Crumb has rendered, check out this sold out “Heroes of the Blues” giclée HERE.

“All Night Filling Station Man” by Annie & The Chickens:

If you’ve got a spare half hour (to watch some TV), John Oliver did a nice job last winter examining the realm of some ‘community’ radio stations, including a slice about our friends at KWSO, a tribal station in the same territory (Madras, Oregon) as our flagship KJIV.

And if you’d like to read for 20 minutes or so on the subject, here is a recent story from radio industry mag Radio World reporting on the status of the non-commercial radio landscape since Trump killed off Big Bird.

There is some hope on the horizon for some, but we here at Jiveradio have never had the benefit of federal (or any other kind of grant) monies, and continue to rely on just you, our dear listeners!

Our pal The Punmaster David Gross did another nice job penning a sendoff for the noted Rock ‘n’ Roll luminary Dave Mason in his MusicWire post HERE. Dave leaves us with such a great stack of perfectly crafted classic songs. It’s great to hear them all again, and will be for a long time.

Jerry Jeff Walker was Reno’s favorite Gonzo Compadre and he made a slew of appearances in various venues from the early ’80s into the oughts. It was always fun, and always a party. The first up of several recordings is a solo acoustic show from the Hacienda del Sol circa February ’89, up now on our new Jerry Jeff page [HERE] with more to come in the months ahead, so, as they say in radio…STAY TUNED!
