From the Studio: Dr. Jody Graves

Dr. Jody Graves visited the KPBX performance studio for music and a chat with Jim Tevenan. Jody recently was honored by Steinway and Sons, inducted into their Music Teachers Hall of Fame. The conversations ranges across many topics, and is punctuated by Jody's playing of pieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff and George Gershwin.

After more than 25 years of teaching music, theater and English in San Francisco schools, Jim relocated to Spokane in 1995 to become organist/music director for St. Augustine Parish on the South Hill. Since around 2004, with the help and patience of Verne Windham, he has been able to realize his long-standing dream of doing radio. Jim specializes in classical music, but also can do the occasional jazz show. Jim and his wife, Carol, fill their free time caring for llamas, rabbits and chickens after having watched their two children grow up and leave the nest.
