Maybe it’s a sign of how old I really am, but I could not be more excited to hear one of my songs on the radio. Yes, streams are great and I certainly appreciate those, but there’s something special about radio; someone deciding to play your song for others.
On March 1st, my song The Good Fight will (or did, depending on when you read this) have its radio premiere on 91.1 WDDE in Delaware (streaming on delawarepublic.org). A few songs that I’ve written and/or performed have been on the radio before, but this is the first one I’ve written, performed, and produced, so it’s pretty special.
The March 1st edition of Hometown Heroes was its St. Patrick’s Day show, featuring Shades of Green, an Irish / Americana band of which I am privileged to be a member. The show featured two of our recent recordings, two in-studio performances, and also a spin of The Good Fight. It just so happens that Coleen Colon, who lent her voice to the song, also joined us in studio as she is guest vocalist on a number of Shades songs as well.
