Private Idaho

Sadly KBSU’s Victor Picania is ill. He has Pancreatic cancer. Picania is one of the good guys in radio. Victor has been playing just the right combination of blues, rock, folk, and whatever for years. Listening to his show is like putting a world class record collection on random. As a former radio show producer I can tell you that making it sound that easy is very hard. Victor’s mellow intelligent delivery is so very refreshing in a radio world that seems to be less and less about the music. Here is hoping that Victor beats his illness and continues to create our own Private Idaho for years to come. This Saturday July 22nd at the Big Easy. An event for Victor’s benefit will feature music from Frim Fram Fellas, John Hansen, Bindi Bowler, Rosalie Sorrels, Ned Evett, Curtis Stigers & more. Tickets are $20 - available at TicketWeb outlets.
