On this episode of Express Yourself, Tracy hosts Dylan Duba and Chris Harrison of Rock and Roll Academy, and Dylan plays a few songs live in studio, then, he speaks with Heather Balogh Rochfort about the Girl Winter ski film tour, and then an interview with musician Sam Grisman ahead of his show at the Wheeler Opera House. Listen to Express Yourself on KDNK.org every Friday at 4pm.
Tracy's music journey essentially began at KDNK, when his mom Susie Strode found a home in Carbondale in 1985 and promptly became a DJ on the station, along with wearing many other KDNK hats in the 80s and 90s. Susie also brought dozens of sought-after musical acts to the valley with her<i> Music Gumbo Productions</i> company, and young Tracy would often act as her secretary when the band members or their agents would call the landline at home to talk about upcoming bookings. Tracy has many fond memories of time spent upstairs at the Dinkel Building studio, our original location before we moved to our current home on 2nd Street. Tracy manages all the underwriting at KDNK, and occasionally plugs cables into electronic devices to produce sound. You can catch him on the air every other Saturday evening from 9-11pm as <i>Son of a Gumbo</i>, hosting his show <i>The Commodious Cutup.</i><br/>
