RMOD - Ada Pasternak

"Revealed through original songs that are intimate, evocative and compelling, Ada Pasternak is a strikingly modern singer-songwriter and violinist who propels an instrument from the 16th Century into the future.  As she takes the stage with violin in hand, audiences expecting a traditional approach instead witness Ada as she plucks, strums, and creates a vibrant counterpart to her beguiling vocals and consummate musicianship.  

 

Born in Moscow, Russia Ada Pasternak​ came to the U.S. with her family when she was six years old.  With musician parents, her childhood was steeped in classical music as she developed into a virtuoso violinist, winning competitions as a soloist and earning standing ovations from audiences of 2,000+.  Her life and career were dramatically altered when severe tendinitis and overuse made playing the instrument impossible.  For two years, she lived as a normal teenager, not knowing if music would ever be a part of her life again.  She discovered Berklee College of Music, and at the last possible moment submitted an application.  As she slowly picked up the violin and prepared one of her favorite pieces to perform at the audition, it was as if she had never stopped playing.  After her father drove her to Boston and accompanied her on piano, to her amazement she was awarded the school’s highest honor; A Presidential Scholarship (a full ride) 

 

At Berklee, Ada was intrigued by the diversity of students and styles of music. “It was so fascinating to see all of these young, curious musicians from all over the world coming together to make music and learn,” she relates.  Through playing with such an eclectic group of musicians, Ada absorbed a variety of genres such as Pop, Jazz, Bluegrass, and even joined a Mariachi band." ~ www.adasmusic.com

 

Dianna​ catches up with Ada the Violin Girl calling in from Los Angeles Saturday APRIL 27th, 2019 during Radio Memphis Around the World right here. Listen now.

 

 

 

 

RMOD - Paulina Jayne - Ford Driving Skills For Life

Detroit country/rock girl Paulina Jayne called in to Radio Memphis Around the World with Dianna while she was out on the road to check in and talk about some events going on, including the Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL) hands-on free clinic that was happening in Memphis in conjunction with the Memphis Police Department.    

 

Ford DSFL is a national safety initiative created by the Ford Motor Company, The Governor's Highway Safety Association (GHSA) and a panel of safety experts to help young drivers improve their skills in four key areas that are critical factors in more than 60% of vehicle crashes including hazard recognition, vehicle handling, speed management, and space management. The ride-and-drives provide an opportunity for teens to get behind the wheel with a professional instructor at their side and go through exercises that address the four primary skills for Ford DSFL.

 

For those who may not have the chance to attend one of the hands-on clinics happening across the country can even visit the Ford DSFL website, which includes four study modules and a quiz, car care videos, several interactive games, and an enhanced curriculum noting the importance of eco-driving to personal safety and the environment.  An Electronic Educator packet is even made available and can be used by students and parents at home, as well as educators in the classroom and community settings.  This free packet includes an in-depth video concentrating on each of our four driving skills, a letter for parents, a letter for educators, a leader's guide and brochures. 

 

Did you miss Dianna and Paulina Jayne having fun live on the air and talking about Ford DSFL? Dianna even learns that the hands-on class included getting behind the feel of a Ford Mustang.  Listen now.

RMOD - Eric Deaton - Booze & Blues

North Mississippi Hill Country blues is a real thing. Guys like the Burnsides and Kimbroughs made it happen for the world. Carrying that sound on is Eric Deaton. Eric came into the Radio Memphis studios for an appearance on The Booze & Blues and gave a clinic on how it is supposed to sound. His band brought the noise, the studio brought the beer and the audience brought the ears. Also, Willie Hall was in attendance and passed on a few words of advice along the way. 

 

RMOD - Dave Lambert - Booze & Blues

Long time friend and soon to be Memphian Dave Lambert brought his guitars and talent into the studio. He also brought a couple of musicians with and formed a brand new band. So new, it doesn't have a name. But that didn't stop Ric from offering several suggestions. Shockingly, none of them seemed to stick. Nevertheless, Dave and his band (Damn Pam & Jeff) have the Memphis groove down pat and there are some great stuff coming from these guys. Including a song written specifically about Radio Memphis of which you will hear in this episode.

You will also hear these guys tear into some fun songs with a couple on the fly and one that was learned in the parking lot. This is the thing with the Memphis sound. It happens when like minded musicians get together with the same purpose.  

RMOD - Booze & Blues - Robert Nighthawk & The Wampus Cats

According to Wikipedia, the Wampus Cat is a "... folkloric creature with supposed shape-shifting powers can trace its roots to Native American folklore of the South Eastern United States." From the experience of those around Radio Memphis, a Wampus Cat is one who performs with Robert Nighthawk Tooms. In this very special episode taken from 31 March, 2019 of The Booze & Blues, The band came to the studio for an evening of performance, stories and talk of their brand new CD Cheating Time. Also, some time was set aside for some kind words for a great friend, John Kilzer.
