Veteran KSDS-FM Jazz 88 DJ Ron Dhanifu was attending elementary school in Los Angeles when he became captivated by music and radio. His enduring passion for both and the opportunity they provide to share an endlessly rich cultural heritage have been constants throughout his life as an award-winning broadcaster and tireless champion of jazz, blues and other genres.
Dhanifu was 31 when he relocated to San Diego in 1977 and began a decade-long stint as KSDS’s operations manager and one of the station’s most knowledgeable and affable hosts. After moving back to L.A., where he was on the air and helped launch a record company, he returned to San Diego in 1991 to San Diego and KSDS. He has never left.
A.J. Croce has experienced the transformative power of music for much of his life, be it as a vehicle for celebration and contemplation, transcendent love and profound loss, and many points in between.
With his 10th and newest album, the cathartic “By Request,” music provides a life-affirming way for him to grieve losing his wife of 24 years, Marlo, who died suddenly in 2018 from a rare and sudden heart virus.
But Croce does not achieve that catharsis with his own songs. Instead, he turns to funk, rock, blues, soul, pop and country favorites by a dozen distinctly different artists, including Neil Young (“Only Love Can Break Your Heart”); Sam Cooke (“Nothing Can Change This Love”); the Five Stairsteps, (“O-o-h Child”); Randy Newman (“Have You Seen My Baby?”); and the Beach Boys (“Sail On Sailor”).
