September theme

Tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B, our theme was "September", and that was for two reasons, one being that we  are in the month of September, and two because I am participating in "Steptember", a fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy.  As part of a team, I am doing 10,000 steps per day, and asking for donations to help raise money that will assist people with Cerebral Palsy by providing valuable equipment, therapy and services to children and adults living with cerebral palsy, or to raise funds for research into the prevention of CP, and maybe one day a cure.

Below is a link to my donation page:-

Tonight I replayed part of an interview with the wonderful Andrew Hewitt.  He is a "can-do" musician with Cerebral Palsy, and Australia's most inspirational drummer.  He is an inspiration to us all, and if you would like to listen to the interview, please click on the link below:-

On a completely different subject, don't forget, if you are suffering from anxiety, there is a free anxiety support group who meet at Club Bega on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month (excluding December & January).  For more information, you can call Rachel on 9339 6013.

Most of our songs tonight were pretty chilled and laid back, so next week, we are going to explore the musical genre of funk music, so get ready to dance in your lounge rooms!!  Join me between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm next Tuesday night if you live in the Bega Valley on 93.7 Edge FM.
