Thursday Night Feature: Remembering Cy

Cy Rawls was and will always remain a beloved member of our DJ community. His untimely departure greatly saddens us all. Although a mere three hours could never do justice to his memory, we'd like to celebrate his passion for music and dedication to WXYC in this special feature. Hosted by Dan Partridge.

Tonight from 9-12 on WXYC 89.3 FM or online at WXYC.org.

Don't forget this event at Nightlight on Friday:


Come out for B-Team DJs for Cy -- a benefit and memorial for Cy Rawls. Money collected at the door will go to the Rawls family.

DJ Roster:
Viva
Nastyboots
Toenes
Nate AKA DJ

Oct. 17th, 2008, 9 pm

Cy in the Media

I have realized that the Internet has so much Cy Rawls-dedicated content that there is almost no way to put it all in one place. However, I sure would like to try, but I just don't know how I could do it all on this blog. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

  • Posting on WRAL's website
  • David Menconi's News and Observer blog
  • The New Raleigh blog
  • Cy in the Carrboro Citizen
  • The Orange County Line is selling Cy t-shirts
  • From the Triangulator blog
  • Outside In's awesome listing of all the Cy events posted on area websites
  • A posting to the nutmusic website in Fairfax, VA
  • Video on YouTube of a robot someone built for Cy
  • A great posting on the Popehat blog
  • A thread from crash on the Justice League forum
  • The article about CyTunes in the Independent
  • The Twelvety blog
  • A post on Karen Mann's blog
  • Posts about Cy on the Triangle Music blog
  • A post on the Half Baked, Twice As Good blog
  • Posts from Brian Walsby's blog

    I had to stop after six screens of Google links because I'm at work.

    Woody Durham

    Many, MANY thanks to Kirk Schmidt for sending on this MP3 of Woody Durham remembering Cy during the UNC/UConn game on Friday. This is heartwarming! Kirk says this address is a temporary home for the file. Can anyone host it permanently? (I can't get Blogger to accept an audio file.)

    --------------------------------------------
    With the assistance of Tom Boman, Gary Sobba, Ryan Kormann, and Clay Broughton at Learfield Sports, I got an mp3 clip of Woody Durham's memorial to Cy that broadcast just before halftime of the UNC/Connecticut football game this past Saturday.

    I've posted it here: http://tinyurl.com/3hqe8l

    Funeral on Monday

    Hi all,

    Here is a funeral update from Cy's folks:

    Absolutely everyone is welcomed to attend this service in Jacksonville.

    The Jacksonville City Cemetery is located at the corner of Hargett Street and Highway 24 East. The drive time from [the Triangle] will probably be around 2 1/2 hours.

    For Triangle Friends

    Shannon Morrow sent out a link to this blog she has for her Whirligig Music Project which she has dedicated to Cy.
    http://thewhirligigmusicproject.blogspot.com/

    Here's what she wrote:
    I have an installation called The Listening Garden up in Durham Central Park [on Foster Street across from the Farmer's Market] until Monday morning. It is a beautiful place to sit and reflect, and there are comfortable rocking chairs to hang out in. I decided to put a memory book for Cy in the garden and to dedicate the installation to him. If you'd like to go leave Cy or his family a note or memento, I will take the book and anything you leave to his family at the memorial service. I'll also take photos if anyone puts a little shrine or anything up for him, and will give the photos to his family.
    I really felt an expansion of my interpretation of life and consciousness while sitting there thinking about Cy today. I felt like he was in the wind...more could be said, but probably sounds cheesy in writing, so I'll stop.
    Anyway,
    that's all,
    Shannon Morrow
