Description: “Walking In A Winter Wonderland” – The Pirate Radio is back! After close to five years of waiting, DJ digitalflood returns to the Internet to stream some audio chaos just in time for the Holidays. DJ Charlie “Corky” Kelly comes aboard the Pirate Ship to help co-host so MC Mary @ The Disco! can focus on being an adult and such. Corky is also the this season’s first guest DJ. He has DJ digitalflood spin an eclectic mix of Rock & Roll spanning from the Classic Rock era all the way up into Modern Alternative Rock era. There’s even some Jazz thrown in for the heck of it. All providing the back drop for a tale about a walk from the bottom of life’s depth back up to the top. DJ Corky tells us how he learned to embrace positivity in everything he does. A bit of holiday cheer is thrown in to remind us of the reason for the Season and there’s even some MC Emma doing a Christmas song that turns into a Pirate Radio sing-along. As DJ digitalflood always says, “Let’s get into it!”
WRRV has partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to present Rock-a-Thon weekend all this weekend (12/12-12/14). The AFSP is great organization whose mission statement says it all:
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is the leader in the fight against suicide. We fund research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquartered in New York, AFSP has 67 local chapters with programs and events nationwide.
To fully achieve its mission, AFSP engages in the following Five Core Strategies:
Fund scientific research
Offer educational programs for professionals
Educate the public about mood disorders and suicide prevention
Promote policies and legislation that impact suicide and prevention
Provide programs and resources for survivors of suicide loss and people at risk, and involve them in the work of the Foundation
HOW CAN I HELP?
It’s pretty easy: go to this page, request a song, they call you, and you make a donation. The DJ on duty plays your song. Your donation helps out with suicide prevention and treatment.
The Out of the Darkness Walks are presented year round by various chapters of the AFSP. Warwick, NY does one every September. You can find out more about those here.
There are somethings you simply have to see to believe and “Pine Bush Gingerbread” is one of them.
My next neighbor Kirsten Drossel, owner of All Things Delicious in Pine Bush NY, has spent the last few months meticulously building the entire Hamlet of Pine Bush, NY in gingerbread house form. Each building and house has been placed right where it belongs including my own home.
The project has gone viral and attracted local media coverage including radio station WPDH who interviewed Kirsten and her husband Doug last week. You can see that interview here.
You can also check out the YouTube video below that gives you a good idea of the size and scale of the project.
Donations are recommended, but not required for entry. Donations will go to the Hudson Valley Food Bank and other local non-profit organizations that assist those in need.
The display is in the commercial plaza located at 61 Main St. Plaza, Pine Bush (map directions here).
