Hey there, shiny, happy people! On Saturday (4/8/17) at noon (EST), I’m going to be on Choice Radio Network being interviewed by Linda Burhans of Linda’s Caregiver Connections. You can read about her show here and listen live here. I believe you can listen to archived shows on her site (http://www.connectingcaregiversradio.com/), so if you’re not able to listen live, hopefully you can listen later.

As you listen, imagine me prettier and thinner than I am in real life. And imagine that I smell like I took a shower sometime in the last week.  God, I love radio. And imagine me sipping a bourbon martini glamorously while we chat. Okay, maybe a bourbon martini wasn’t a thing until now, but I trust you kickass people to make it happen.

I used to host a radio show in Virginia with my dad, and generally, this is what happened each show:

me and dad dancing at WTJU

And this is without bourbon martinis…

So expect good things. Hope you can tune in!

Thanks so much for reading my ridiculous thoughts! If you’d like to see my ridiculous thoughts translated into art, visit my website, or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Know a caregiver, or someone with dementia, or someone who knows someone with dementia, or someone who knows someone who knows someone else who’s a caregiver? Or heck, do you know a person? Well, you should tell them about my book, Fractured Memories: Because Demented People Need Love, Too. Part memoir and part coffee table art book, I recount my family’s heartbreaking and hilarious journey through my father’s dementia. Available to purchase here (this is my favorite way if you live in the U.S.), here or here if you’d rather get the eBook than a print copy, and here (especially if you want a hard cover copy).

Radio Tribute Show

Nick @ Nine, Nick Page, radio, radio tribute show, WTJU

The awesome folks at WTJU, the radio station where my dad had a jazz show called “Nick @ Nine” for over 10 years, have offered to do a couple tribute shows for him. Since I’ll be in town for the memorial on Sunday, they’ve invited me to join them for a show honoring him. So tune in Sunday, 2/21/16 from 10am-12pm on 91.1FM in Charlottesville, or streaming live at www.wtju.net. The show will also be archived for a week or two (go to the Archives page and look for the Jazzmania show hosted by Sandy Snyder), so if you can’t catch it live, you’ve got a little extra time. My understanding is that another show honoring him will happen from 9am-12pm on March 1st, too. I won’t be able to be part of that one, but the guys doing it have great musical taste, so I know it’ll be a great show. And Sandy Snyder did a tribute show on the 11th, which you can still catch for another couple days in the archive at Archives. Look for the show called Wild Women and Friends.

This radio station relies heavily on public support, so if you’re so inclined, please consider donating in memory of my dad.

This picture was taken in 2011. It was the last radio show my dad and I did together. The next day, we moved him into the dementia care facility.

But we had one hell of a dance party before we left.
