Thank you Catherine for making the words...
Laura Ellen, Dang!
KFAT, KHIP, KPIG, LAURA ELLEN. For many many years these radio stations, in the reign of Laura Ellen, have comforted me in times of pervasive cultural sadness and loss. From the untimely deaths of Steve Goodman, Kate Wolf, Bob Marley, and Jerry Garcia to the societal distress of the Loma Prieta Earthquake, war, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and more war, it was Laura Ellen's station, her vast musical archive, her deeply humane perspective, and the musical selections of her talented, hand picked DJs that have moved me through the darkness. Now KPIG has been called upon to heal us all with music once again, at the passing of this remarkable woman. They have honored her and her vision with their celebration of remembering. I thank KPIG. I thank Laura Ellen for sharing her gifts with us all. Hers was a life well lived.
