Guess what! The stepdaughter is going to be on internet radio TONIGHT! Well, not her live, but one of her songs. This stepkidlet had a barrage of songwriting when she taught herself guitar at age 17-18 and all her teenage emotions poured out and took beautiful form in her music. Now, however, she has pretty much stopped creating music, and now just sings with her church(es). I really wanted to commemorate her creativity of a few years ago, and asked Garrett and Rebecca if they would air one of her songs on their radio show. I sent them “Ready to Fly,” one of the stepkidlet’s rare happy songs (she WAS a teenager when she was songwriting, after all — you should see my overdramatic teenage poetry; you’d be shocked I didn’t kill myself already).

Listen live if you can! 7:30p-8:30p Pacific Time, and the show is on every weekday. Here is the link to listen:

If you aren’t able to get to it tonight, Garrett and Rebecca archives all their shows for podcasts, and I’ll post the specific link when I get it afterwards. YAY!!

*** UPDATE AT 8:35P ***
That was great! The broadcast just finished. I didn’t know this, but the host Garrett had some trouble uploading the song to prep for the show because it wasn’t in an MP3 format. So he asked the stepdaughter to call in, and she was embarrassed to do it, but she was a great sport and called in. Also, I got my techie hubby to convert the .wma song to .mp3 and emailed that immediately, so Garrett and Rebecca were able to play the song as well as talk to Ana. Here is the link to the archived show…you can listen immediately!

The radio online chat room (simultaneously running during the show) was abuzz during the song. People loved her, and loved the song! Yay! (BTW, I had let Garrett know that the stepdaughter and her boyfriend were both here, and when Garrett first mentioned the boyfriend’s name live on-air, I turned and watched the boyfriend’s eyes go wide, like he’d seen a ghost. It was so funny, I emailed Garrett and told him the reaction. Of course after that, Garrett made sure to keep re-mentioning the boyfriend’s name. HAHA!)
