New Music from Don Panzik

Today is very special day for Melodic Playground. Our Radio station has been broadcasting 24 hours a day since the pandemic. However, this year we decided to open the doors and begin playing music from other deserving artists, talented enough to take up air time on Melodic Playground Radio. It's not just DJ Meladik, now we have a new wave of underground and indie artists that truly deserve some shine.

One of the first artists recently added to our station's rotation is a hometown talent known as Don Panzik. Don began his entertainment journey in 1979 as a wedding singer which lead to him becoming a DJ shortly after. That chapter of his life lead to the forming of his first band "Eden" traveling as a top 40 band touring the Virgin islands and New England States. Don is actually from our backyard! He lived in Mocking Bird Canyon,,, near Lake Matthews! He moved to Tennessee in 2019 where he joined an amazing band called Mocking Bird Canyon  and if you follow the link below to visit their website you can actually get a free track for becoming a "Rocking Bird". Volume 1 is available today and worth every penny, the quality of music this super team creates is becoming more and more rare these days.

Today we added a total of six Don Panzik tracks to our global radio station. Everyone agrees that there favorite song is the one called "She" but his newest release "Where's Dolly" is trying to compete. Only DJ Meladik has more music in rotation on our station. We love Don Panzik Music so much we flooded the station with his voice and tunes. We all love each beat and each note from every song we have heard and Don's sound really does make our station sound better. While we are trying to keep a great balance to keep attracting listeners of all genres, Don's music is so good that is can be appreciated by any demographic. It really does cross over genres and transcend stereotypes. His song "She" even had producer @JaeHarp_ bopping when he was listening to our radio station and it sparked the idea of a remix or cover to help bring this track and this artist the attention deserved. 

Recently Don's new home is just south of Nashville and the entire region suffered a massive 800 mile storm. Tornadoes, flooding and the aftermath to survive. We are asking everyone reading this to take the time to not only pray for Don and his family but also the whole state and anyone affected. We should do more! The least we can do is pray...

Supporting a talented artist or band that deserves it will always be in the cards for Melodic Playground. However adding such a unique talent from Riverside raises the stakes. Not only is Don Panzik and company better than the rest but this is a hometown love and the combination of the two means we will relentlessly do more to share the music and support the movement. So its safe to say Don Panzik and friends are now part of the family. Be sure to add Don Panzik to all of your favorite playlists on Spotify and Apple Music. Check out the links below and add Don Panzik to your timelines. Show some love and tune in.

Meeting Author Major C.B. Read

Its doesn't matter if your into podcasts, books or even movies.... you have to admit that you and everyone else loves a good story. Netflix, Pluto, Tubi, HBO MAX and the growth of hundreds of others streaming apps prove even technology has a hard time keeping up. We have Spotify for podcasts, Kindle or Amazon for books and almost anything or everything can be found on Youtube. There is so much out there it's very common for us to scroll by a classic and not even know it. So I just had to take the time today to share an Amazon hidden gem you don't want to overlook.

 

The Book, " In Satan's Pocket " is a short novel by Major C.B. Read. This tale is based on a true story and inspired by the actual events surrounding the tragic final voyage of the Golden Venture. A captivating adventure leaving scars of darkness the snakeheads would wish they could forget. Human trafficking, murder, and revenge inevitably shipwrecked not only the villainous Captain but also the enormous 44' vessel under his command. It's only 88 pages which happens to be perfect time spent for today's readers. It's more than affordable.. costing less than a cup at Starbucks and its written well enough for the book have five stars on all platforms.

The Author of " In Satan's Pocket", Major C.B. Read is a retired Veteran of the US Air Force. While serving, the Major was referred to as a "Mustang", meaning he was the rare breed of those who enlisted and rose through the ranks to become a Commissioned Officer. Major Read also served as Lieutenant in the Coast Guard and as Assistant Chief of Police at Sea Gate New York Police Department giving him plenty real life experiences to draw from when writing a novel. I can only imagine the real life horror stories but I am even more intrigued to hear the simple dumbfounded comical side to being the lead in so many scenarios. I bet The Major has enough real life experiences to inspire dozens of novels. 

Major Read has also published a few "How to" books for specialists in the field of security and safety, tactical book for professionals hoping to gain an edge in their field. When he is not writing, The Major is enjoying his retirement with his wife Alice and their rescue dog Hope in the Hilton Head area of South Carolina. Often reminiscing on the path his life has taken. Charlie has come a long way since his childhood days looking up to The Cowboy Roy Rogers. Nowadays the memories are enjoyed with the Misses over fine dining and vintage wine, basking in the sun and waiting for the right words to write the final chapters of his happy ending.

I hope you all take the time to check out the Major's Book, "In Satan's Pocket" definitely belongs on your shelf. If you can't afford it now or don't have the time today, bookmark it and it too your wish list. When you do have the chance to get your copy, get a second one and gift it to someone that might enjoy a good under the radar novel. Your not just supporting an aspiring author but your also supporting a United States Veteran.
