FREEFORM RADIO STATIONS

I have been sending the song DARK WNTER FOLLIES to a number of freeform radio stations to see if they will share it with their listeners. If you have a freeform station in your area call them and let them know that Johnny Rhino has a new song out and you would love to hear it on their station. If they need a copy they can email me at johnnyrhino@jrhino.com .

The best part of doing this mailing has been hearing all the unique music on freeform stations. You can see a list of freeform radio stations here .

VIRGINIA CHECKS OUT

Virginia Checks Out:

One day my cousin, a registered nurse, called. She told me that my mothers Alzheimer-Dementia was getting worse. Sherry thought it would be about 90 to 120 days until she passed. I had seen her memory failing and my stepfather recounted how she had been acting out.

This gave me some time to spend with my mom and observe her decline. Alzheimer’s is a very destructive disease that not only works on the brain but the body and self as well.

The song Virginia Checks Out recounts my observation of this sweet, strong woman’s decline. When I play it in public I can see some people listen with special interest and have had several folks tell me they had gone through the same thing. Have a listen…
