Now you can listen to one of my stories as a podcast! “Dionysus Dying” is available as part of the Theme and Variations audio anthology. This is the second edition of the anthology, which is dedicated to musical themes. “Dionysus Dying,” read by yours truly, is a jazz tale about two fallen stars who come together to save the life of a woman who’s destined to die. It goes like this: Jazz star Bobby Ball sees the future when he plays his sax. The music of his dying idol, Omar, throws open the door to tomorrow, but Bobby doesn’t like what he sees.
I hope you’ll check out this podcast story right here at Theme and Variations. Be sure to check out the other stories, too. It’s a cool project full of cool ideas and music. In fact, “Dionysus Dying” features music by saxophonist Doug Longwill of Altoona, Pennsylvania. I think you’ll agree that Doug did a fantastic job capturing the mood of the story and moving things along with his own improvisational solos. Drop by http://www.themeandvariationsanthology.com and enjoy the show. See you soon!
