Greetings!
It has been a busy spring at KWMR! The art show at Toby's featuring the creative work of David Bunnett is still up through next week (April 28).

We just completed our White Hot Burn and the Missing Monday pledge drive last Sunday the 20th. Just inching up to $40K but shy of our $50K goal. Not too shabby for 5 1/2 days. This would be a great time to contribute to KWMR if you have not done so.

Eat My Heart Out Supper Club is this Saturday, April 26 (read below) and tickets are almost sold out for this event.



And KWMR is 15 this year! We hope that you will join us on the actual anniversary that KWMR was turned on and become the local radio station in West Marin. May 2nd is the day! We are having a community dance/prom at Toby's Feed Barn. It's free and all ages and we hope you will dress up and join us. The DJs are getting the tunes prepped and if you have a certain special tune you would love to "cut a rug" to, please email [email protected] to make your request.

The punch recipe is being perfected, the disco ball is reserved. The photo booth is on order!

See you there! 

I'll be the once dancing!
Amanda

Richard Dillman
Richard Dillman
is no stranger to Round Up readers. He is KWMR's Transmitter Wrangler and host of Incredible Radio Tales on KWMR. He has stories. Oh my, does he have stories. This should be a good one. I heard it is inspiring some sort of ravioli....

Glen David Gold
Glen David Gold,
author and creator of the Paper Mill Tales series that was featured on KWMR in 2013. Glen wrote both Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside
. I know nothing of Glen's story and am looking forward to being surprised!

Maria Muldaur
Known more for singing and performing (Midnight at the Oasis is a great hit). The wonderfully talented
Maria Muldaur has a few stories of her own. In
Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez

Seeing Red after the White Hot Burn

620 - 740 nm on the electro magnetic scale
 
by Devon McMorrow 
Red is ancient. In a cave in South Africa, paleoanthropologists found evidence that people in the Late Stone Age-170,000 years ago-used red clay to paint their bodies. Red lipstick has been around since the time of the Mesopotamians, but it did not become popular in America until the late 1800s. In 1770, a law was proposed to the English Parliament that women should not be able to wear cosmetics until after their wedding day. Wearing lipstick in England was associated with "marginalized groups such as actors and prostitutes."  In Russian, the word for "red" is derived from two words that mean beautiful and excellent.

Wikipedia states: "Red is commonly associated with danger, sacrifice, passion, fire, beauty, blood, anger ... and happiness." This could not be any truer than in rock and roll songs.
   
You could almost tell a story with the red lyrics in classic tunes.  
Red is worn.     "She wore red shoes by the news-stand." Tom Waits   
  
Red is eaten. "Hot tamales and they red hot. Yes, she got 'em for sale." Red Hot Chili Peppers             
 
Red is driven. "And honey, I say Little Red Corvette. Baby, you're much too fast." Prince  
  
Red is plucked from a fairy tale. "Who's that I see walkin' in these woods? Why it's Little Red Riding Hood." -Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
   
Red describes a location. "There was a murder in the red barn. Murder in the red barn." Tom Waits 
  
Red becomes poetry. "Red rain is pouring down, pouring down all over me." Peter Gabriel 
 
Red is given a different name. "Now, I don't hardly know her. But I think I could lover her. Crimson and clover. Over and over." Tommy James and the Shondells  
   
And red makes you feel so fine... "Red, red wine, you make me feel so fine. You keep me rocking all of the time." UB40

Listen to The Retro Rock Show this Wednesday from 4-5.
