We are reposting a OBIT from the KBCS website as we are playing a tribute to Doug Patterson this noon. Sat May 31. Doug died March 14, 2022. He was 72 years old."Doug grew up in Puget Sound and fell in love with the burgeoning PNW rock and roll scene at a young age often recording live shows off his radio using an Ampex reel-to-reel machine. Doug studied cultural anthropology and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in 1972. He was then invited into the graduate program at UW to study African languages and linguistics. He was awarded a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Washington in 1984. During a break from his studies in 1974 Doug traveled extensively throughout Eastern Africa where he became immersed in the African music scene and that was to become one of the great passions of his life. In Kenya he would also meet his wife Annah.Doug’s love of music was of a giving sort. He was driven beyond spinning the albums of the music he loved and worked on many records and compilations, including Kenya Special and Nairobi Beat, to name just two. He also wrote extensively about East African music during his lifetime."In 1991 Doug hosted his first radio show at KSER in Everett. In 1993 he went to KBCS and started The Music of Africa which was moved to KBFG in 2018. Doug was also a long time employee at KUOW where he engineered numerous recording sessions. It was Doug who introduced Eric Muhs and Pam Burton to KUOW hoping to acquire their cast of broadcast board for our new studio at Jack Straw Cultural Center. That was just before the whole world was shut down with the challenge of COVID.We send our love to Doug’s family, friends, and fans. Doug's finally radio home was here at KBFG where he hosted African Airways every Sat and enlisted Alister to share the slot with him. Doug's last effforts on behalf of KBFG was introducing Eric Muhs and Pam Burton to KUOW staff, hoping to receive an equipment donation to set up our studio at Jack Straw Cultural Center. That was right before COVID shut down the world. We thank him for his dedication to the world of African music and sharing it with us.
