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.

The group meets at 2 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the Edwardsville YMCA Niebur Center, located at 1200 Essic Drive in Edwardsville. It is open to individuals with Parkinson’s, their caregivers, and anyone interested in learning more about the condition. The support group continues to add people with each session. Jean Price, a retired nurse who has volunteered as a facilitator for two years, described the group as a place where participants “do some fun things” and share practical tips to make everyday life easier. The program often features guest speakers, including healthcare professionals such as pharmacists, physical therapists, and dietitians, as well as instructors offering yoga and spinning classes on stationary bikes.
