Headlined Show, Angel Talk January 5, 2025

Title: Resist Not Evil

Our whole lives are spent mostly on the things of this world. If you are spiritual, you have been feeling the constant barrage of heaviness from the beings of darkness. They will trick you, offer you all the things you want, and attempt to make you believe that this year will be better than the last. Yet everything costs more, and the world is at war. You do not have to be a part of that. If you resist evil, it will only come at you harder. Let us help you understand how to keep yourself above chaos. God is offering you a reprieve. Join us for another exciting Angel Talk Radio Show. Sponsored by The Living Light Center a Church of Faith and Healing.

Headlined Show, Shadow Politics January 5, 2025

Our guest is Marianne Williamson!  On December 26, 2024, Marianne announced her candidacy in the election of the Democratic National Committee Chairperson. She is determined to make a difference in politics in America and within the Democratic Party, in particular.  Marianne cares about poverty; international peace; an Economic Bill of Rights — including universal health care, tuition-free college and tech school, and a guaranteed living wage; the establishment of a Department of Peace and the Department of Children and Youth; the declaration of a Climate Emergency to mass mobilize for the development of a green energy grid; and ending America’s Drug War. I will discuss these and other issues with this important voice in today's political dialogue.  After more than 25 years' experience with the Democratic National Committee, including working on the campaign to elect Ron Brown Chairman, we will have a lot to talk to about.  Tune in and listen to this interesting and provocative discussion where Marianne explains what she's up to now.

Signs of Life Guest, Gina Simone January 09, 2025
Intuitive Counselor, Medium, Spiritual Guide

I have been gifted with the ability to communicate with those who have crossed over into Spirit. My life’s purpose is to facilitate and connect you with your loved ones who may no longer be here but are always present and offering support and guidance. I am amazed in the many ways Spirit confirms recognizable details of themselves. Through a reading, you may be gifted with details about personality or descriptions to validate who they are and to reminisce and share special memories from their life. I have come to learn that Spirit always wants to connect with you to help provide direction, inner peace and personal healing. With Spirit’s guidance, they help you see your life’s bigger picture and release the troubles or uncertainties affecting your life. I enjoy using both Reiki and past life regression to help identify energies that have transcended from then to now.

I’ve been officially practicing mediumship for the last 15 years and hold a medium certification through the Forever Family Foundation. I had a gift as a child, at the age 11, to be exact. After my toddler son experienced a tragic pool accident in 1994, I was catapulted into finding the meaning behind life, spirit, lessons, and karma. At first, not knowing what these gifts were, I felt different and isolated. I then realized, this was my calling and left a comfortable corporate finance career to connect you with your loved ones and with your own innate intuition and higher consciousness.

In 2019, our first-born son Anthony passed away from cancer. I went through a tough time and was furious and no longer wanted to serve Spirit or do healing work. But then, Anthony came to me in my dreams and visions to let me know there was a bigger meaning behind his death. I opened my heart and slowly the words to my first book ran like water. My purpose is to help heal those who have lost loved ones, especially those who have lost children. I do that through readings and by teaching people how to channel spirit through their own senses and power. I believe we all have the ability to connect, if we are open and know what to look for.

I am devoted to giving back and spend time working with local charities including Ronald McDonald House, American Cancer Society and the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. I am surrounded by my amazingly supportive family on Long Island, including my husband, three children, three grandchildren and two dogs.

The Sports Doctor Guest, Vic Sonny Stancarone January 08, 2025
Pro Piano Player, Educator for music, yoga & wellness

Sonny comes from an extended family of musicians. His mother Gloria was a talented singer and his father Frank was a song writer and professional piano player. Sonny began playing piano at seven years old when his father started giving him lessons based on the traditional piano instruction method. After studying classical music for a couple of years, he learned the chord method of piano playing and thereafter, began developing the ability to play and enjoy pop, rock, and jazz music.

He always had a knack for improvising and through the years studied with an assortment of teachers but it wasn't until he studied with New York City Master Jazz Improvisation Teacher and Artist, Connie Crothers, a student and colleague of the late, great Jazz Pianist, Lennie Tristano, that he broke through to becoming the piano player that he is today.

His love affair with pianos dates back to the German Upright and Chickering Baby Grand Pianos that his parents owned and he played while growing up in their household. The first grand piano he himself owned was an 1892, 6'3" Chickering Grand Piano. The sublime tone and responsive action of this classic piano so impressed him that he immediately became intrigued with the world of pianos.    

Sonny's Piano TV Show is the first "piano & wellness" variety TV show on the internet, cable, or network TV. Informative and entertaining, this completely original video show plays 24/7 at SonnysPianoTV.com and weekly on LONG Island Cablevison stations.

Over the past 15 years, Sonny has created an innovative, interactive, all video website and TV channel completely devoted to pianos, music, health and well being. Through his website  www.SonnysPianoTV.com he also buys and sells pre-owned pianos. He currently sells over 90% of his pianos online via creative video tours wherein he plays and demonstrates his pianos for sale for all the world to see. He has a solid reputation and backs all sales with warranties and a team of refinishers and piano repair staff to assure excellence. Many customers are pleasantly surprised at how accessible he makes himself, still speaking directly with most customers and providing genuine advice with his extensive knowledge of pianos. He ships all over the country and this year, the business has expanded to such places as Taiwan, Canada, England and Australia. The business continues to expand and with it, Sonny's Internet presence has grown.

Recently, Sonny came up with another internet / social media innovation, called "Sonny's Win A Free Steinway Contest" on Facebook. He has just completed his fourth contest and the results are nothing short of phenominal. Over 100 countries participated, casting votes for their favorite contestants who uploaded videos of themselves playing the piano into Sonny's contest. The Grand Prize is a Knabe Baby Grand Piano. Two other pianos, a Steinway upright and an Aeolian player piano and other prizes will be awarded to the lucky winners and runner-ups. His audience participation has expanded to over 100 countries around the world. Over the course of 4 contests Sonny has given away over 14 pianos to the winners around the USA.    

Along with being a musician, Sonny has had an extensive career in the health, fitness, wellness, sports medicine and stress-management fields. As a child Sonny suffered from a crippling case of asthma. Over a period of five years, he experienced frequent serious attacks. But at the age of 10, his mother brought him to Doctor Irma Urbano, who put him on a nightly regimen of stretching, diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation exercises. After just two months of doing this regimen he was cured. He realized the healing, therapeutic, life-renewing, energy-enhancing benefits of these kinds of methods and continued doing his routine every night thereafter. As a result of learning how to breathe diaphragmatically and to relax, Sonny went on as a teenager to become a champion baseball and track athlete. He was the Captain of the X-Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track Teams at Carey H.S. in Franklin Square, NY where he won MVP awards and still holds the half mile record.

He earned a full tuition athletic track scholarship to Adelphi University where he graduated with a degree in History Education. After graduating, he studied all forms of exercise, relaxation training and stress reduction so that he could better understand and help others with these kinds of techniques. A few years later, he earned his masters degree in Exercise Physiology from Adelphi University. As a corporate stress & fitness consultant, yoga teacher, sports coach, sports medicine clinician, stress management consultant and exercise teacher, he has helped thousands of children and adults to reduce stress and anxiety, improve health, enhance classroom and sports performance and enjoy a more relaxed life and a greater sense of well being.

His piano playing and teaching methods are also based on the ability to breathe diaphragmatically, relax, get into the flow, enjoy and let go. He calls this method Sonny's Piano Yoga and he put together a DVD Kit called Sonny's PIANO YOGA, Play Piano Instantly With Little or No Sheet Music in 2005. This method enabled people who had never played piano before to start making beautiful music. In 2023 he published Sonny's Piano Yoga Book, The Breathe, Relax, Flow and Enjoy, Mindfulness Method for playing Piano Instantly & Connecting To Your Musician Within for Health & Wellbeing.

He feels that piano playing is a wonderful, therapeutic, life-enhancing, stress-reducing vehicle that everyone can enjoy.
