[HTML1] In the first two segments of Life Love & Health: Winter Edition, we’ll hear from Ed Goldfarb, the San Francisco Bay Area composer and pianist who just released the CD Cold December Flies Away. We’ll also hear some of the music — jazzy, tasteful and upbeat solo piano improvisations on holiday favorites. Articulate and funny, Ed talks about his musical life and gives us a behind-the-board look at the recording process. Whether you’re a musician or a music lover, we guarantee that Ed will bring you inside this experience.
In the final segment, we’ll replay a favorite segment about how performing and recording artist James Brown, a.k.a. “The Godfather of Soul,” was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His concerns were very real: possible death, incontinence and impotence. His choice of a physician/surgeon? Dr. James Bennett, MD, a fellow ”country boy” from Georgia, an African American and one of the very best urologists in America. Mr. Brown gave permission for this exclusive interview, sharing his experience, as he believes in community and health literacy.
