EP 417: Executive Producer Mary Lou Falcone Discusses Lewy Body Dementia Film Documentary & Film Documentary FACING THE WIND

Ladies and gentlemen, with honesty, tenderness and, yes, sometimes humor, the film Facing the Wind invites viewers into the lives of people with Lewy body dementia and their caregivers…real people in real time.  FACING THE WIND, a sixty-minute documentary film, reveals how a mutual support community can be an antidote to despair, letting people know they are not alone.  You will follow their journey, laughing and crying with them, while taking an unflinching look at dementia care with its overwhelming and isolating aspects. The struggle is real, but so is the love. Ladies and gentlemen, Lewy body dementia is not a rare disease. It affects more than 1.4 million people in America. It is the second most common form of dementia, but it still being misdiagnosed. Alzheimer’s disease is the gradual decline of memory as Lewy body dementia is the roller coaster ride with ups and downs. One moment the patient can be fully present and lucid and the next be completely lost or deal with hallucinations from mild to severe. There is no cure, but this very powerful film documentary is not for those suffering with Lewy body dementia, but for the people who care for them. Many spouses and family members are thrust into being a caregiver and navigating the vast ocean of the unknown. FACING THE WIND is a starting place for caregivers and to know that it’s ok to not be ok. Head over to LewyBodyResourceCenter.org for more information. If your loved one was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, you are not alone and there are resources right now that can help you.

EP 415: Founder Norma Loeb of the Lewy Body Resource Center Discusses Lewy Body Dementia and How They Can Help You

My guest today is the founder and executive director of the Lewy body Resource Center. Norma’s knowledge and experience with Lewy body dementia began with the personal care of her mother, Lillian, who had LBD for many years. Norma has been facilitating the only New York Metro area LBD caregivers support groups since 2008.  She also leads a national group for people living with LBD which has been lauded.  She served on the board of directors of the Lewy Body Dementia Association for three years before launching the LBD Resource Center in 2016 to provide much needed support and resources on more personal and connective levels. Norma worked as executive assistant to the CFO at The New York Times Company for over 20 years. While there, she served as chairperson of the work/life committee of The New York Times’ women’s affinity group and initiated and ran their eldercare support group. Her expertise working with the top executives at The Times, as well as her managerial experience as executive director and a co-founder of What BETTER Looks Like, a nonprofit organization which partners with communities to help individuals imagine, articulate, and create visions for a better world, has prepared her to lead the LBD Resource Center which is very dear to her heart. Ladies and gentlemen, Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of progressive dementia, affecting more than 1.4 million Americans. Because LBD comes with a host of physical, cognitive and behavioral symptoms, it often mimics Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or a psychiatric disorder. As a result, it is widely misdiagnosed. Even as diagnoses increase, resources for people with LBD and their families still remain extremely limited. Citing this lack of resources and assistance, the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center was founded to provide much needed services and support for people with LBD and their loved ones. Go to LewybodyResourceCenter.org or LDBNY.org for more information. #lewybodydementia #lewybody #dementia #brainhealth #mentalhealth #resourcecenter #facingthewind #LBD #misdiagnosis #Alzheimers #AlzheimersDisease #ParkinsonsDisease #medicine #wellness #psychiatricdisorders

EP 414: VAN ZANT goes from Southern Rock to Standing on the Rock with new Christian album ALWAYS LOOK UP!

My guests today are southern rock icons Van Zant who have reunited and returned to the studio for what will be their first new album in nearly two decades. The new album ALWAYS LOOK UP will also mark the duo’s first foray into Christian music, while holding firm to their southern rock roots. The Van Zant musical dynasty built its foundation firmly on family. Donnie Van Zant co-founded .38 Special and brother Johnny Van Zant is the current lead vocalist for Lynyrd Skynyrd after the passing of their brother Ronnie Van Zant, who fronted and co-founded the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rock band. But throughout their four decades of climbing the southern rock and country charts together and separately, faith has stayed just as important of a factor in the equation, so much so that the guys decided to finally share their inspirational side with the upcoming new album. So from southern rock to standing on the rock, let’s welcome southern rock royalty Donnie and Johnny Van Zant of VAN ZANT and their new album ALWAYS LOOK UP to the show! #southernrock #christianmusic #christianalbum #christianrock #gospelmusic #newmusic #newrelease #newalbum #lynyrdskynyrd #38special #ronnievanzant #johnnyvanzant #donnievanzant #music

EP 413: Jazz Great Michael Wolff talks his new album MEMOIR and more!

Michael Wolff, a renowned jazz pianist, composer and bandleader known for his virtuoso performances and innovative style. After leaving music school early to join the Latin-jazz great Cal Yader’s band in the early ’70s, he spent the next two decades gigging and recording extensively. Michael can be heard on over 21 recordings with a veritable hall of fame ranging from Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Nancy Wilson (he was her musical director), Sheila E, Christian McBride, Tony Williams, and more. He has performed with and conducted over 25 symphony orchestras worldwide and also had a five-year tenure as the musical director of the high energy house band on Arsenio Hall’s groundbreaking late-night talk show. This journey led to him accompanying saxophonist and Presidential candidate Bill Clinton in 1992. His newest album, MEMOIR is a stunning collection of 11 tracks, a mixture of moods, beautifully and elegantly played with his frequent trio partners, stellar musicians Alan Mednard, and Ben Allison. His newest album release is especially noteworthy because it is miraculous he is alive after a brutal battle with a misdiagnosed form of cancer that had him at death's door. But he’s back making incredible music! #jazzmusic #jazz #jazzmusician #jazzpiano #piano #cancersurvivor #memoir #newalbum #newmusic #newrelease #neworleans #chicago #newyork #losangeles #arsenohall

EP 409 - Singer/Songwriter Pete Muller's Discusses New Album 'More Time' a collection of Rock and Soul that Moves You

After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, and became a father, and while he eventually returned to the business he’d founded, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014, he recorded his third album, Two Truths and a Lie, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station, where icons like Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie and Bob Dylan had recorded). Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold, Pete Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save, renovate, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019’s Dissolve and 2022’s Spaces—there, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Tayler, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux.  His newest album More Time, Pete Muller has harnessed this passion and infused it into his most striking and bold set of songs to date and the focus of our discussion today. Ladies and gentlemen, Pete Muller’s newest album More Time was recorded in Memphis with producer/engineer Matt Ross-Spang, the collaboration with Muller is apparent across the entire record. Together they crafted a collection of a looser, grittier slice of rock and soul without sacrificing the open-hearted, expansive nature of Pete’s songwriting. No less prominent is the all-star band assembled for the sessions, including celebrated bassist Dave Smith (Al Green, Wilson Pickett), famed Texas guitarist Will Sexton (Joe Ely, Roky Erickson), Memphis organist Rick Steff (Lucero, Cat Power), longtime Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, and a host of local legend horn players and background vocalists. Pete Muller’s album More Time is exactly what it gives the listener. More time to enjoy the authentic vocals and sounds that come from real musicians bringing sheet music to life. His collections of songs has something for everyone. If you rock, soul, blues, jazz, easy listening, then your ears will be filled with joy and put a smile on your face.

EP 407: Comedian Jeff Allen: ARE WE THERE YET? His Comedy, His Life from Overcoming Substance Abuse to Finding Faith

My guest today is Jeff Allen who has been a working comedian for five decades, and his work has been featured on America’s Got Talent, Dry Bar Comedy, HBO, Comedy Central, and even on TBN and CBN. He can be heard regularly on SiriusXM’s comedy channels, as well as Pandora and Spotify. His videos have surpassed 400 million views on Facebook, YouTube and other digital media. Many of you may have seen him perform at some of the Gaither’s Praise Gatherings too. With his new book and his tour ARE WE THERE YET?, Jeff Allen drives home the humor of everyday family life, the ups and downs of marriage, the challenge of raising children, the bliss of the empty nest, and the joys of being a grandparent. Ladies and gentlemen, for years, one of the funniest men in America was crying on the inside, Jeff Allen was a comedian with the lead role in a tragedy. Jeff fell into substance abuse at an early age, and his problems didn’t magically go away when he got married. In fact, with the arrival of two children, they intensified. The sense that his life was meaningless made his family life as dark and biting as his comedy. But in his darkest moment, an unlikely encounter with the gloomiest book of the Bible set him on the path to salvation. The line of Ecclesiastes, “Meaningless, meaningless, all in life is meaningless” - resonated with him. So he kept reading, and soon found that Jesus wasn’t a religion, but He was Savior who loved him right where he was at. And many times that’s at the bottom so the only direction you can look is up. If you have struggled to find meaning in your life, this book is for you. With his trademark humor and unflinching honesty, Jeff will point you to the only One who can answer the question, “Are we there yet?” So I end with one of the most famous prayers ever written. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. #comedy #faith #inspiration #newbook #comedytour #substanceabuse #marriage #lifelessons #humor #comedian
