CD Release

December 12th inspirational speaker and published author Sheryl Roush was interviewed AGAIN by popular Family Network personality Lorri Allen and veteran newsman Larry Estepa for Mornings!

Ms. Roush was asked to share about the new music CD added to her Heart of the Holidays book, featuring child prodigy pianist at age 16, Laurie Z., 15-time Grammy award nominee consideration artist. The selections, chosen by Janet Cucinotti of Zebra Productions, Inc.,  offers traditional and lively Hanukkah and Christmas songs.

Special treat — Jack Palance, the late actor tells "The Night Before Christmas" with Laurie’s soft music in the background… a CLASSIC.. like you’ve never heard it before! (Curly, from City Slickers, with Billy Crystal.)

Lorri Allen is featured with FOUR of her own stories published in the Heart of the Holidays book!  Copies were given away to callers who phoned in to share their favorite holiday traditions.

"Mornings" is like a chat around the water cooler. It’s a fun, refreshing—but different—way to start the day, equipping listeners with ways to engage friends and co-workers. Informational and inspirational, it’s relationship radio at its best. "Mornings" airs live on SIRIUS Satellite Radio Channel 161 from 6:00-9:00 am ET and on FamilyNet TV from 7:00-9:00 am ET. Check out the Mornings Blog anytime.

Story: The Piano Master

Heart of a Mother, Heart of a Woman, Stories| No Comments »

THE PIANO MASTER
 
A mother, wishing to encourage her son’s progress at the piano, bought tickets to a Paderewski performance.  When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the majestic Steinway on the stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and the boy slipped away. 
 
The lights in the auditorium began to dim, the spotlights came on, and only then did they notice the boy – up on the piano bench – innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."  His mother gasped, but before she could retrieve her son, the master appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard.
 
He whispered to the boy, "Don’t quit. Keep playing." 
Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling ion the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side and improvised a delightful obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized.
 
In our lives, unpolished though we may be, it is the Master who surrounds us and whispers in our ear time and time again, "Don’t quit. Keep playing."
 
And, as we do, He augments and supplements until a work of amazing beauty is created.
