On this edition of From the Vault we pay tribute to Bobbee Zeno, a longtime Pacifica Radio programmer and vital contributor to the many communities in his life. Starting in 1999 on KPFK as the host of Preaching the Blues (which later became Blues Power), then as host of the show Good for Life (which later became Experience Talks), Bobbee Zeno was a humanitarian, a lover of the arts, "brother" and friend to many, and loved by all. Today, we'll visit with memories of Bobbee's passions: radio, arts, family, and friends with an original tribute produced by S. Pearl Sharpe and Mark Maxwell titled That's Cold Blooded - named after a phrase Bobbee would say often, especially when he enjoyed the music he was hearing. This tribute was originally broadcast on Saturday May 3, 2014.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
