Radio Tale #27: The Path

This personal narrative explores – in a nutshell – the journey of graduate school in which a path is laid, and how by following this path I come full circle. This circling occurs first, through reflections of childhood songs and then, the memory of my family’s 1976 road trip to the Canadian Prairies when The Carpenters sing of being young, listening to the radio and “waiting for my favorite songs….”

Radio Tale #24: The Last Days of Country Music

This personal narrative explores my father’s final two days of life. As my father lay in his bed at his care home, with his eyes fixed on me, I played the country music that he loved so dearly. These musical choices were interspersed with stories of his life with my mom, my gratitude for what he gave our family, and updates on all of his children. As my siblings were unable to be there for Dad's final days, I stayed at the nursing home and helped my father transition to the other side of forever. This is that story.
