The Day is here – the Day that Alex and I dreamt of two years ago.

When you don’t know what to give your brother (and Uncle) for his birthday, and his best friend, a partner in crime, and brother from another mother, passes away, all celebrations and gift ideas come to a halt.

May 2017 Joelie’s first birthday after the passing of our mother was going to be difficult enough, but now sweet and feisty Charlie Eble’s good fight with the terrible “C” was turning this month into SADNESS!

Alex was just establishing newclevelanradio.net, and as the producer, and podcaster developer, we thought about putting together a tribute.  We had the dream, the idea, but we were too new in our internet station to develop an event like this.

May 2018 with this idea weighing heavily on our shoulders, it was Joel’s birthday once again and the first anniversary of Charlie’s death.  Although Charlie was no longer with us physically, he remained with us, and all of the people he had touched in his life.  As he interviewed many of the talented artists from the Capital Region, Saratoga Springs, and beyond, I heard the murmurings of how he helped so many directly and indirectly.

I knew how much Charlie had done for Alex, especially in the last year of his life.  My son planned a trip to Saratoga Springs the in late April of 2017 as he knew he had to conversate with his mentor, the man we are honoring today, Charlie Eble.  It was at that time Alex discussed some ideas and plans he wanted to accomplish, and his mentor perked up, looked him straight in the eye and said our work is not done!

So when May 2018 came along, I took this idea to the max on behalf of Alex.  Without letting Joel know, I did not want him to dissuade me or anyone else, I began putting the wheels in motion.  I contacted many of the performers I had met and interviewed and others I still wanted to interview, and I got a 100% acceptance that this would not only be a fantastic way to honor a man who had done so much and still means the world to many, but it would be a gift for Joelie, that money could not buy.

This gift did not come without strings attached.  When we met with my big brother in the Fall of 2018; I requested that he produce this event that is happening today, and proclaimed by the Honorable Meg Kelly as Charlie Eble Day.  And with his influence and unstoppable personality he and Sarah Craig developed a scholarship fund in the name of Charlie, that will mean so much more than a plaque.  Today is the first of many, and you will hear the beauty in the talent, and feel the love in each performance.

When Charlie told Alex his work was not done, you will witness that today.  He will be performing a song that he shared with Joel and Charlie two years ago.  Alex had a vision, and today, with special thanks to Jeff Brisbin that vision comes to life!

Today is not just for Charlie, this is a gift for my brother Joel, to let him know how special he is and that when you can’t afford to buy a present, you create one…Happy Life to All!

Are you feeling frustrated?  Are you finding that today’s lack of communication through speech one-on-one is complicating life?  If not, I must be alone as I keep hitting obstructions, roadblocks, and have to recircle through the information.

There once was a time when business was conducted more directly, and therefore more smoothly than it appears today.  We are sharing too much information in emails and attachments that people do not read, but they think they have digested the information provided.  Often those emails are written in text format, and that can be confusing as the most important bits and pieces are left out of the dialogue.

Newclevelandradio.net, LLC is beginning it’s third in operation.  When we began, we only accepted payments in check or cash.  This past year due to the request of many we added PayPal.  We do not take credit cards as the cost would eat into any profit we may make, and we are still a growing business with little or no profit at the end of the year.  We are stable in paying our bills and providing a growing service to our clients and listeners; we are extremely excited that we continue to grow and provide our listeners with the information they deserve to hear.

As a communication company, we think it is necessary to have a verbal dialogue with our podcasters and their sponsors.  We believe our podcasters should be kept in the loop with their sponsors as this helps them work together to assist each other.  As a sponsor not only does your business name appear at the beginning and the end of each show (for that particular podcaster), your company receives the opportunity to podcast once a month with us to promote their brand and services.

We try to keep things simple here at newclevelandradio.net, LLC and we encourage you to contact us by phone if you have specific questions.   440-526-1530.

My father used to recite a poem to us (my brother, Gary, Joel, and myself,) especially when we expressed defeat or discomfort in a challenge.  The poem was a favorite of his by Edgar Guest, a Detroiter, called. “It Couldn’t Be Done.”  My parents especially my dad would not accept the words, couldn’t, can’t, or impossible.  He was the force behind slaying windmills, and he encouraged his family to do the same.  Slaying windmills is not an easy task as they keep spinning, often out of reach, but making the attempt and trying to do what is meaningful to you, was a lesson well taught and learned in our home.

I sometimes believe I was the slow learner of us three siblings as I have stated before I always felt inhibited and less worthy than others, but as an adult, I have taken my father’s words to hear, and I go for what is important in my life.  I found my voice as a podcaster, and I love the work I do, even when it is imperfect because I understand that perfection is not a reality; it is something to work towards.  Once we get to the pinnacle of the mountain, there is yet another path to take.  What goes up, must come down!

Today I scored an interview with one of my teenage musical idols.  It’s funny, but the first music interview I did in 2017 was with Larry Brown, who was once part of the Association.  Luckily for me, I did not know this going into the podcast with him, and I handled my fan panting to a minimum.  I had asked Larry to speak with me on our initial broadcast, and he agreed (I think because he knew my brother.) but I appreciated his talents and wanted to share them and then he told me he wrote “Cherish” with the Association.  (One of my favs!)

Since 2017 I have had the honor to podcast with many musicians, and talented artists who amaze me with their artistry, some are well known, and others are just known, but I hope to assist in sharing them with our listeners and beyond.

The lessons I learned from my Pops was to reach for the stars, and last week I reached out to Judy Collins, and today I scored an interview for June 26^th at 10 am EST on newclevelandradio.net – http://mixlr.com/new-cleveland-radio/events/judy-collins-_five-decades-of-music.  My Dad once told me to not to be afraid to ask, and there are only two answers, Yes or No.  In life, we all have a 50/50 chance.

The last four weeks have been a joy each Wednesday, afternoon from 1 -2 pm as I hosted a podcast with Charlie Wiener (K. Adrian Zonnerville.)  I was introduced to Charlie in 2018 as someone who was not only a talented musician but a humorous stand-up comic, and a prolific author.  I have had the opportunity to enjoy his musical talents as well as a comedy routine.  As for his books, I have read three out of four, and I am ordering the fourth one today, “Z: One Family’s Journey from Immigration Through Poverty to the Fulfillment of the Promise of America.”

I would like to suggest if you want music, comedy, and great books to be produced by talented individuals like Charlie Wiener, we must support them. Attending a performance, buying their books and CD’s will keep individuals like Charlie providing us with entertainment beyond compare.
