Tim O'Reagan: A Jayhawk Flies Solo

NPR

Published July 8, 2006 at 6:36 PM EDT

Tim O'Reagan gets plenty of help from old friends on his new CD... including his Mom and Dad.

The Jayhawks may have called it quits after two decades of alternative country music. But bandmembers are exploring other projects.

Multi-dimensional drummer Tim O'Reagan is taking the opportunity to strike out on his own with a self-titled CD.

And while it's a solo work, he does accept some help from various Jayhawks alumni, including Gary Louris, Mark Olson, Karen Grotberg and Marc Perlman. Even his parents get in on the act.

O'Reagan talks to Sheilah Kast about his new musical effort.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
