Bass Player Heaven Adds A Big One

03/17/2023

We lost another dear soul last week with passing of Robert ‘Bobby Mac’ McNamara. Bob was a longtime pal, ally, and co-conspiritor(!) in many things musical.

I knew him from working with his many bands back to Cannibal Dynamo in Reno from the mid-80’s, up through loads of gigs with Guitar Woody & The Boilers, and some of his side projects like Kingfinger, and Strange On The Range, among many others.  He was a big-hearted gentleman who rocked many things, including being on original KAVA Radio Project (the embryonic Jiveradio) and he was a founder of The Reno Blues Society.

DJ Jim will be featuring much of Bob’s various music trips ALL NEXT WEEK [M/W/F 9a-12p PDT] and watch this space for news of a celebration.

A Great Radio Guy Goes Silent

05/21/2022

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that James Boyd K7MKN passed away yesterday (Friday 5/20/22), of a heart attack, at his home.  In ham-speak he’s now a “Silent Key.”

James was a brilliant engineer, a gentleman, a fast friend, and one of our cadre of engineer allies that make the Jiveradio signals propagate into the aether. He helped us at Grizzly (KJIV) and Stacker Butte (KJYV) until very recently. He was a radio operator in the worst of the Viet Nam War (repeatedly sprayed & burned with Agent Orange) and came back to be one of the most respected field engineers in the Pacific Northwest. Jivelandia was lucky to have him in our sphere.

R.I.P. James Alan Boyd.

radio on radio?

11/13/2020

Well, here’s something that is sure to bore most of you: a radio interview with two radio people on…radio! [snore] It’s with me, ‘Jeff The Radio Guy’, and Amanda Eichstaedt (KWMR GM & Morning Host) and aired this Wednesday in Point Reyes Station, a hip little hamlet on the Cali coast near where we recently launched our little ten watter (KXCF 91.5FM) serving the oyster-centric towns of Marshall, Marconi, & Inverness. So in the off chance you want to dive into some radio talk, catch the very rare but enthralling segment HERE.

And, in case you missed it, the radio interview was precipitated by this story in the local paper, The Point Reyes Light HERE.

R.I.P.: The Prince of 4th Street (Reno, NV)

10/19/2020

Only 3 weeks after his mother Inez passed (see a few posts below), our brother from another mother and all-in-all, the best bartender we’ve ever known, Tony Stempeck died of complications from COVID today. A wit as fast as any comedian alive or dead, Tony was a flat-out kingpin. A cornerstone. We are seriously rocked by this loss.  More soon.

Here’s a vid of Tony talking about his Mom only weeks ago. 

You think this COVID thing is all a hoax? Pack sand.

Our ‘Mama’ Inez Stempeck passes to the Ravioli Room in the sky

09/26/2020

One of the most important & loved women in our world slid away to the other side this morning. More soon. We’re tied up crying  a lot and drinking a little more. Oh, and for those of you in outer orbits, Inez was a longtime Reno centerpiece of her own society.
