LAST YEAR, SHORTLY AFTER I PUBLISHED "LA NOSTRA COSTA", NORMA (DINELLI) WILSON, BILLY RODONI AND 'THE OLD RANCERE' MET WITH RACHEL GOODMAN OF KUSP PUBLIC RADIO (88.9 FM) ON THE RODONI RANCH 'SU PER LA COSTA'. I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAKING OF HER PROGRAM "PASTURES OF PLENTY: A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FARMWORKERS". THE PROGRAM IS DESCRIBED BELOW IN HER MESSAGE.

Dear Friends and colleagues;
As you may know, I've been hard at work for the past year of "Pastures of Plenty: A History of California Farmworkers", a four-part documentary series, coming to public radio this spring.
Please visit our new web site, complete with a nifty flash slide show. http://www.coastridge.org/pastures/index.html OR listen to a preview at: http://www.coastridge.org/pastures/radio.html The project is a compilation of oral histories of immigrant and migrant farmworkers and their descendants, telling stories about coming to California to work the fields. It goes from statehood through the present. Luis Valdez, (Zoot Suit, La Bamba, El Teatro Campesino) is the host. There are many old music recordings, archival audio, letters, and other rich historic material, as well as voices of historians, writers, and poets. Our friends Janet Dows, Laurie Rivin, John Hamstra, and Paul Rangell contributed the theme music. If you'd like to have your local public radio station broadcast the series, e-mail them this link or call and ask them to air it.
I am planning a history talk/slide-show/celebration sometime in April in Watsonville, with historian, Sandy Lydon. If you'd like to come, drop me a line. My deepest thanks to all of you who have helped this project along.
