11/15/23 • 30 min
Step right up, fabulous folks, for a wild ride under the big top of auditory wonders! I'm Teri, your ringmaster of sound, and this week, I'm unleashing a three-ring circus extravaganza through the enchanting world of circus tunes! Join me on a musical rollercoaster where acrobats defy gravity, clowns leave you in stitches, and even the elephants have a rhythm in their stomp. From the classic anthem "Entry of the Gladiators" to the mischievous piano performance of "The Entertainer" and the sweet whispers of "Cotton Candy," these melodies aren't just tunes; they're characters in the grand performance of the circus. But the show doesn't stop there! We're diving into the cinematic delight of "The Greatest Showman," a movie that resurrects the allure of the circus with a symphony of emotions and performances that'll make even a grumpy cat break into a smile. And what's a circus without contemporary tunes? Get ready for Britney Spears' electrifying "Circus" and the magical sideshow of Natalie Merchant's "Carnival." Plus, we'll march to the beat of resilience with Three Dog Night's anthem "The Show Must Go On." But wait, the circus isn't just about melodies; it's a living, breathing piece of entertainment history. Join me as we explore the changing landscape of circuses in our modern world. So, buckle up, grab your imaginary popcorn, and subscribe to the podcast because this episode is a one-of-a-kind circus experience that might just tempt you to run away and join the circus. See you in the front row, where every note is a tightrope walk between whimsy and unadulterated joy!

Veterans Day Tribute Through Music
In this episode dedicated to our veterans I'm thrilled to share a deeply moving and musical celebration of valor and sacrifice with you today. As Veterans Day approaches, we're at a touching crossroads where history and harmony converge. In this episode, I want to extend my gratitude to the heroes who've worn our nation's uniform and safeguarded our cherished freedoms. Join me on a harmonious mission using the enchanting magic of music to amplify the voices of these unsung heroes.
I'll dive into my personal connection with the veterans in my life, from my grandfather's service in World War 2 to my dad's time in the Navy during the time of the Vietnam War. It's a vivid tapestry of stories and memories that remind me of the courage, sacrifice, and enduring bonds that connect us all.
We'll explore the history of Veterans Day and iconic songs like "God Bless America" and "Over There" that capture the essence of patriotism and honor. The podcast also delves into the protest music of the Vietnam War era, where artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez used their music to advocate for peace and justice.
I'll share my personal memories of songs like "Ballad of the Green Berets," which was a cultural phenomenon during the Vietnam War, and how some of our favorite musicians, like Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, served in the military before achieving fame.
Moving to contemporary songs, we'll highlight "American Soldier" by Toby Keith and "Some Gave All" by Billy Ray Cyrus, two touching tributes to our veterans. And we'll explore modern tunes like "Still a Soldier" by Trace Adkins, "Riding with Private Malone" by David Ball, and "Til the Last Shot's Fired," which offer poignant insights into the experiences of modern-day heroes.
Finally, I'll discuss the therapeutic power of music for veterans as they navigate the transition from military to civilian life. Music becomes a source of solace, healing, and connection on their journey to recovery.
So, join me as we embark on a musical journey that pays tribute to the heroes who've dedicated their lives to safeguarding our freedoms. It's a heartfelt exploration of the deep connection between music and veterans, reminding us that their sacrifices and dedication are not forgotten.
