Everybody's Got Love with Lee Ruth
Lee Ruth came to Columbia, MO in 1962 and has had a music program on KOPN since the station began in 1973. As a singer/songwriter and teacher of guitar and banjo, Lee has been a steady voice for music appreciation of many genres and an inspiration to those who know him.
Lee Ruth has played music from coast to coast, from a Ranger lookout mountain cabin in Oregon to Greenwich Village in NYC, and many music festivals in between. He and his wife Rena live in Columbia and have kids and grandkids here and there. Lee tells stories of the music scene in Columbia, his KOPN show Radio Omega, plays and sings for us, and shares a song from a 2003 KOPN anniversary album. A real treasure to KOPN and Columbia, he shares how Covid cut him off from playing gigs and teaching classes. His show is every Wednesday from 3-5 AM.
