About Listening Lyrics

Welcome to an hour of Listening Lyrics, right here on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, California. No musical passports required. Folk can sit next to funk, jazz can dance with rock, and a singer-songwriter might end up sharing a park bench with a reggae band. Listening Lyrics is your invitation to escape the noise of the day and enter a world of elaborate sounds, unexpected discoveries, and songs that have something to say. This is the kind of journey only commercial-free community radio can provide. So close your eyes. Open your ears. Relax your mind. Join me, Pieter Pastoor, as we send color to your ears and wander through the vast landscape of music and lyrics—the grand meeting place of rhythm, imagination, and the remarkable human ability to create art. Whether it's a whisper, a roar, a groove, or a melody you've never heard before, it all belongs here. Remember: Real Music. Real Community. Real Good Music.

   John Murietta, a life beyond the accident, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 25, 2026

   John Murietta shares his story today on Listening Lyrics, and we’ll use some of his own song selections to help tell it along the way. Life can change in a moment—but that moment is never the whole story. A snowboarding accident changed the course of John’s life, but what followed is a story of adapting, moving forward, and building a life far larger than the wheelchair he uses. And a quick heads-up—we had a hiccup at the beginning of the recording. Hang in there. In a funny way, it becomes the perfect prelude to John’s story: things happen. What matters is what you do next. So, let’s meet John Murietta.
