Gathering Marbles Podcast #5 - I Am Not A Stranger

I'm a 70 year old former SpEd/Science teacher and a lifelong musician, currently in my fourth year of fighting metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.&nbsp; My name is Lea (rhymes with FLEA) Jones.&nbsp; This story is about "getting better" and proudly bears the (self-applied) appellation "riding the Woo Woo Choo Choo," though the story is not in fact unhinged from physical reality... much.&nbsp; The story IS very much about the concept of where one puts one's attention.&nbsp; I'm hoping the tale will be amusing, thought-provoking, and ultimately uplifting... it definitely will feature touches of solid, original Americana music (&amp; boogie woogie, too). GATHERING MARBLES&nbsp; I started writing this thing in April of 2024, initially thinking it would be a book, but because music is so much a part of the story (and because I've done pro voiceover work AND know how to mix audio), putting together a podcast makes quite a bit more sense than trying to get into publishing.&nbsp; So here we go!&nbsp; I'm intending to publish the podcast in several ~10 to 15 minute segments, featuring music cues (and song snippets) from my recording catalog, which is scattered all over Hell. Start here: (www.ReverbNation.com/LeaJones2)&nbsp; Podcasts #1 and 2 TOTAL 28 minutes for easy insertion into (public radio) programming...&nbsp; I'm well past halfway through writing the book and am now digging in on the podcast.&nbsp; As to the CANCER... the infusion I'm currently receiving (the battle was joined in 2020) has made me all chatty &amp; LOVING to write. My body is getting kicked all over the place and what's shaking loose, among other things, are stories and **expressive vocabulary**.&nbsp; My brain and speaking/singing voice seem to be working just fine!&nbsp; Quite trippy.&nbsp; Why "Gathering Marbles"?&nbsp; Here's the opening to the story: "Several of my older acquaintances are in the process of losing their marbles. Some are losing their words, others their short-term memories.&nbsp; Some are just sort of glazing over.Slates are slowly being wiped clean.&nbsp;Etch-A-Sketches are failing.&nbsp;Snow globes clouding up." It rolls on from there. GATHERING MARBLES - A podcast from Lea Jones
