The Judith Gennett Memorial Broadcast
(Featuring DJ Victrola of The Guitar Shop, John B. Jones of  Hello Cruel World, and myself as we pay tribute to Judith Gennett, a radio personality who we all miss dearly.)

Judith Gennett, a long-time DJ a KPSU, and radio personality since 1995, passed away on 24 November 2011.  Her shows – The Raggle Taggle Gypsy Hour, Euro Roots and Suspect Terrene – were wholly singular in their form, and was and inspiration to anyone who worked in the studios of either KPSU and KEOS (where she also volunteered).  Judith was an excellent person, who would light up a room with her upbeat personality, and her incredible insight into music and life.  While I only interacted with her in one capacity, it has been a real treat to learn a lot about her and her life in the process of preparing for this show.  She will be missed.

DJ Victrola helped arrange this, and John B. Jones (who appears both on KZME and KBOO) and I decided to join in.  The show really speaks for itself, and as we tell stories and play music from her old shows, we offer a chance to say goodbye to someone who was always wonderful and great to anyone and everyone she met.

What was amazing about this program was that, while the reason for getting together was quite sad, this actually offered us a chance to catch up and spend some time together.  We want to thank Judith’s family for pushing us to get this program produced, in spite of the various delay’s that cropped up in the time since she passed.  In particular, a special thanks to Ian, who recorded this program and forwarded the link to us.  Thanks again.

Hopefully this show will give you a taste of what her program was like.  She was really special, and we miss her.
