Melodies & Memories Summer Vacation


Those of you who are staying around Rome this summer might notice some Melodies & Memories repeats. Hopefully, I’ve chosen the features well, so that they don’t sound out of place and so that you’ll be looking forward with me to an eventful Fall. One thing that particularly inspires me about September is the broadcast of an interview I did in July with CJ Snare.

CJ was a great guest, even though he was still rather sleepy at 8 am Central time in the U.S. when the phone interview began. It did not take him long to get on a roll. I was impressed not only by CJ’s outgoing, forthright personality, but also by his business acumen. All my expectations of what rock stars were supposed to be like, I discovered to be wrong.

As front man to the historic rock group FireHouse, CJ has inspiring stories and insights to share with us; from how hit songs are written, to how the band is received by fans around the world. We’ll listen to a vintage FireHouse hit from the Nineties as well as something from CJ’s 2011 release “Rubicon Cross” made in collaboration with UK guitarist Chris Green.

The feature with CJ Snare will air on Friday, September 16th at 2:30 pm, so please do tune in so as not to miss out. While interviewing artists does take me a little outside of my “comfort zone”, I was thrilled at the quality of the answers my questions got. It’s not every day one gets to talk with a singer, songwriter, and musician of CJ Snare’s calibre, and a simply nice person to boot.
