The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 82

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 82" on Spreaker. I was moved by a thought that filled my heart while talking to a legend in music. It flooded my process to the point of taking the words into the forest. I wanted to better understand why in the center of such an incredible conversation something so moving leaped into my heart and then onto a page. The weird thing about being a writer. What once moved you has a way of steering you toward deeper waters and valley floors. As much as I was inspired by the short little paragraph that touched my soul. I somehow made my way into another paragraph about standing in front of God. I was asked about what I was thinking while on the path. With so much thought he felt I wasn't serving him but myself. That's an eye opener. Because how many of us say we're in it all the way for the Great Creator but everything we do points us to serving ourselves first? This isn't a Bible thumping message but rather an openness about being aware of your presence in the present. Do your actions and reactions meet the command?

Holly Gleason

Listen to "Holly Gleason Woman Walk The Line" on Spreaker. Full-tilt, hardcore, down-home, and groundbreaking, the women of country music speak volumes with every song. From Maybelle Carter to Dolly Parton, k.d. lang to Taylor Swift-these artists provided pivot points, truths, and doses of courage for women writers at every stage of their lives. Whether it's Rosanne Cash eulogizing June Carter Cash or a seventeen-year-old Taylor Swift considering the golden glimmer of another precocious superstar, Brenda Lee, it's the humanity beneath the music that resonates. Here are deeply personal essays from award-winning writers on femme fatales, feminists, groundbreakers, and truth tellers. Acclaimed historian Holly George Warren captures the spark of the rockabilly sensation Wanda Jackson; Entertainment Weekly's Madison Vain considers Loretta Lynn's girl-power anthem "The Pill"; and rocker Grace Potter embraces Linda Ronstadt's unabashed visual and musical influence. Patty Griffin acts like a balm on a post-9/11 survivor on the run; Emmylou Harris offers a gateway through paralyzing grief; and Lucinda Williams proves that greatness is where you find it. Part history, part confessional, and part celebration of country, Americana, and bluegrass and the women who make them, Woman Walk the Line, edited by Holly Gleason, is a very personal collection of essays from some of America's most intriguing women writers. It speaks to the ways in which artists mark our lives at different ages and in various states of grace and imperfection-and ultimately how music transforms not just the person making it, but also the listener.

Tammy Tuckey

Listen to "Tammy Tuckey Part One Podcasting" on Spreaker. Podcasting isn't an overnight success nor will it completely bring down the lights on radio and television. It's just another platform for creative minds to hang their art. We can all agree there are hundreds of thousands of shows blanketing the digital airwaves on a daily basis and maybe 5 percent of them are quality driven. Mainly because there are no rules or formats. Or as I say the consultants and program directors haven't arrived yet. But they're coming. I had the chance to sit down with a very successful Podcaster Tammy Tuckey. Her connection with communication has opened the door for her to break bread with some pretty hefty names. thetiaratalkshow.com Plus find out more about her new album which you can help fund gofundme.com/tammytuckey

Fading From Your Past

Listen to "Fading From Your Past" on Spreaker. I've always had a difficult time keeping focused on the present and moving forward into a brand new tomorrow. I'm guilty of always wanting to return to a past I can't change. I want to study it. To learn from each step. To turn it into a tool that helps me design the far far away future. So much energy is wasted trying to get there that when it finally arrives... It was nothing like I had planned. Can any of us truly say that who we are today is what the child painted in the first grade? Memories aren't my best friend. Sure I love it when the radio spins a Meatloaf song and I'm instantly shot back to Billings Montana 1978/79. But once there everything wants to connect to it like a Bill trying to make its way through Congress. Outside of your heart and brain your memory is one of very few things that endlessly works. It was designed to keep you entertained. It creates fuel for fires while gifting you with purpose and a plan. Learning how to live in the present is a lifelong mission of trust and faith. You can't get there alone. But when you do discover the paths and riverbeds that help free you from the past and a future you're trying to design... The existence of peace grows outward from your mind body and soul.
