Episode 214: THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT ~~ “I Am No Longer No One” 18 August 2024 WGY6@6
Description
We have an amazing guest with Charlie Hines. Charlie has his own studio and recorded our Kimmer’s story into a song …. He is talented, He is an Army brat, currently living in Cincinnati Ohio. Works with Veterans through the Cincinnati VA Courage groups. We got to hear him interact with Kimmer as they explained how they met and how he wrote her song … and it is a bit of a heart-string pull. Growing up, Charlie had many different experiences with life. His father was working his way to General, and he cherishes the time he got to spend with him. Charlie has a big heart, and he shares that through his work at the VA with the Courage Groups. He is so talented with writing and producing music, and that keeps him busy in all his ‘spare’ time. The songs we shared last night were perfect to show his talent and his emotional connections to life 🙂 Charlie was a piece that helped Kimmer find herself, and helping her say “I Am No Longer No One”. We also had Kimmer Gwinner herself on the show, and watching them interact with each other for the first time face to face was an awesome experience!
Charlie shares three amazing songs with us. The amazing quality of these songs makes us want to hear all of them! Each song has its own story, and this is a story with all the personal feels. The first song shared is “Something to Say”. This was written about our good friend after she shared her thoughts, poems, feelings and stories with him. He captures the essence of Kimmer and walks us through her journey, good and bad. In the end, Kimmer can say with belief, “I am no longer no one”. In the second song, Charlie writes more about his own life, and the main character is his HERO - his very own father. This song is the most touching dedication to the man who lived his life right and raised his children well. Charlie is proof of this 🙂. Charlie’s last song, Courage to Change, was written for the veterans at his Cincinnatti Veterans Courage Groups. This one is inspired by a woman from a group he works with. She saw something on the wall and when she went to read it, it was Have the Courage to Change. They are lucky to have him around, and he shares this song just for them.
