News of our Blues Professor, Kerry Kudlacek

For the past seven days, the home of Radio IDL 's owners, Poppa Nite / Shannon Moudy and ELizabeth E. Ellis has become a place of quiet reflection and care.
We have the distinct honor of caring for our dear friend, Kerry Kudlacek, as he rests in a hospital bed, surrounded by comfort, the music he loves, and the gentle support of a local hospice team.

​To know Kerry is to know a man who has lived a life defined by deep passion for music and remarkable resilience.
Many of you know him as a true guardian of American musical history. For over 60 years, Kerry has been a dedicated custodian of the Blues—a genre that captured his heart when he was just a 12-year-old kid in Oklahoma City hearing Blind Boy Fuller for the first time.
​Kerry has always understood that music is more than just sound; it is a story. Whether he was knocking on doors as a youngster to rescue forgotten 45s, or meticulously curating a collection that spans from the early days of Thomas Edison to the roots of rock and roll, he has spent his life ensuring that these voices—and the history they carry—would not be lost to time.
​He has faced life’s fires—literally, when his home burned to the ground, and figuratively—with a spirit that remains as enduring as the music he treasures. Today, that music serves as his talisman. Though his energy is fading, his appreciation for a well-told story and a soulful melody remains as sharp as ever.

​We are taking things one day at a time, ensuring he feels surrounded by the peace, dignity, and the love he so richly deserves.
We know many of you care for him deeply. We may not be able to respond to every comment or message immediately, but please know we are reading each one, (sharing when he is able). Your shared memories of Kerry mean the world to us right now.
​He is resting, he is cared for, and he is deeply loved.
