Take a break for a moment and enjoy the creative arts with two daytime music shows on KNSJ

11am-Noon CUSTOM TAYLORED with Tim Taylor.

Today’s show is part of a subseries on the music that predated post war urban blues.  You’re going to hear some piano blues, some country blues, some jazz, and some hokum blues.  All of the songs featured in the episode were first released in 1935.  You’ll hear Eugene “Buddy” Moss, Memphis Minnie , Blind Teddy Darby, and much more. 

About Custom Taylored: Tim covers the history of blues popular music–the blues, jazz, R&B and country that birthed Rock and Roll. His series spans chronologically from the 1920s to the 1950s, with each week focused on a particular genre and era.

Today, Don is the producer and host of “Friendly Fire: A Voice For Veterans” where he frequently tackles thorny issues like chemical exposures and toxic PFAS testing for veterans and more.
A member of the Maine Veterans for Peace, Don views social and environmental justice issues in a global context. Did you know that the number one entity for consuming fossil fuels, thus contributing to global climate change on the planet, is the US Department of Defense?

SUPPORT KNSJ INDEPENDENT PUBLIC COMMUNITY RADIO, SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

Friends,
As we approach the end of another year in America, one thing is clear. We’re grappling with a lot. Democracy is in peril. Gun violence, antisemitism, racially-motivated hate crimes, and the wealth-gap are all on the rise. The rampant spread of misinformation throughout our increasingly corporatized digital media platforms means that now more than ever, independent media is critical to the democratic discussion. This is why KNSJ matters.

In our ten years on the air, KNSJ has featured live debates between candidates for City Council and the Mayor’s office, live productions from rallies for climate action, labor rights, civil rights, the PRIDE parade, and the Women’s March. We have more science and environment-based programs than all the other stations in San Diego County combined. The service we provide to our listeners doesn’t stop at our Public Affairs programming. KNSJ is continuing to develop the best independent music programming schedule you’ll find in the entire county. Night in and night out, listeners who tune to 89.1 FM or stream online at knsj.org will hear an incredibly eclectic array of music that will not be found on any of the corporately-monopolized stations that dominate the airwaves.

In 2024 KNSJ moved to a bigger and better studio. We hope to strengthen our terrestrial signal and we continue to expand our locally-produced programming schedule and strengthen our ties to the community through live-music events and youth-based radio-production opportunities.

This Giving Tuesday, we hope that you will consider contributing to the cause of Social Justice community radio in San Diego County by becoming a member of KNSJ. Your donation will not only help KNSJ accomplish our goals, but will also help to counteract the dangerous spread of misinformation throughout the digital landscape with the type of truth-telling that only independent media can provide. Thank you for your support and donations. Please become a sustaining member or make a one-time contribution.

PLEASE DONATE TODAY. #knsj
