"Never Too Old" with Wendy V on Radio Free Nashville

Well, I said I was hoping to have something exciting to tell you about, and I do. Here is "my official press release":

"Never Too Old" with Wendy V Debuts on Radio Free Nashville

(NASHVILLE) – Some music making baby boomers are getting a chance to be heard in Music City. "Never Too Old" with host Wendy V debuts on Radio Free Nashville, WRFN-LPFM 98.9 on Saturday, September 13 in its regular Saturday afternoon timeslot of 3-4 p.m.

"Never Too Old" celebrates the "upper demographic", or "baby boomers"...40s, 50s, 60s and so on who are active, energetic, engaged in life and out there making some valuable contributions. It's a unique mix of classics and current artist music and interviews. "The music that we all grew up with and paved the way for artists to follow matters just as much to us today as when we were younger...we think it still holds up and deserves a place to be heard, " says Wendy. " Plus, there are many musicians and artists out there in this demographic that are far from "over", creating great music today."

Along with its target baby boomer audience, Generation X, Y, or younger audience members are especially welcomed to listen and learn a bit about pop music history, explore some classic country, and meet some seasoned artists who know their way around a good tune.

For Wendy V, doing this show fulfills a longtime dream. "I grew up listening to the radio and have had a lifelong passion for the medium. I'm blessed to have this opportunity to share the music I love and help bring recognition to some of the great talent we have here in Nashville. You're never too old to appreciate the past...and never too old to embrace the future."

My "Summer Vacation"

Well, the job hiatus continues at this writing. It was nice having most of the summer off but I am hoping it won't extend too much into fall. I did have some freelance work happening and a little more is expected soon, so I do thank those folks who made that happen.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I can't think of a better way to spend it than to go out and hear some new writers in town. I had to cancel my trip this weekend to Louisville and the National Quartet Convention this year due to economics and also because some great people are having rounds and writers nights I couldn't bear to miss. Thus, it's going to be a busy week for music and I'm sure much of it will show up in the Nashville Blend blog as long as I remember to pack a piece of paper.

Also by the time this weekend is out, I hope to be able to tell you about something exciting I have in the works.
