We are sad to share that Ed Becker, longtime host of Songwriters Showcase on KDHX, passed away on June 17th. Ed shared his extensive knowledge about the music he loved for 37 years as a KDHX volunteer, first as a helper and co-host to his dear friend Larry Wier, and then taking the reins of Songwriters Showcase when Larry Wier passed away. 

Ed was a statesman at KDHX, loved by everyone who met him for his generous and caring attitude and his easy-going charm. His belief in the ability of music to change the world for the better was infectious - almost as infectious as his love for Cardinal baseball.

Ed lived a life of volunteerism, working all over the region - and especially in his hometown of Mt. Olive - to leave the world a better place than he found it. In this, he was a great success and serves as an example to us all. For more about how Ed contributed to the greater good in his life, please visit his obituary published online by the Mt. Olive Herald.
