I remember a while ago that I was going to sit down and produce a demo CD of me on the radio.  This is a task that I finally completed today.  So for those of you who want to hear how I sound on the radio (especially my friends who I know do not listen to AM Radio and by the way, I forgive you), here is my first demo…which I am proud of.

Another Reason To Be Thankful…

From HisAir.net:

Former XM The Message programmer Jim Epperlein’s wife Connie checks in with HisAir.Net today with great news regarding her husbands 10 month battle with Pancreatic Cancer.  “I wanted you to know that Jim is FULLY recovered!!! He’s been strength building, eating everything he wants and he’s walking 6 miles every other day!   This last weekend (11/7) marked 5 months that he’s been home from the hospital. Connie goes on to say, “Jim recently had a follow-up visit with his Family Practice doctor, Dr. Swink, who told Jim that in his 35 years of medical practice he’s “never had or heard of a more remarkable story”!  This wonderful outcome is truly a MIRACLE!  Thanks so much for all your love and support over these last several months!!  All of this wonderful news comes during the season of thankfulness!  We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and all of its special meanings . . . especially in light of our wonderful news!  God Bless!

Jim has been keeping busy with the start-up of his own broadcast and consulting firm called JDE – Artist & Broadcast Consulting.  In addition, in August, he started working on his Masters Degree in Communications Management at Towson University. XM laid off Jim last year he now works part time on the air at WRBS/Baltimore (95.1 SHINE FM).

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim earlier this year when he briefly came to WAVA.  We were all praying that Jim would be able to beat this.  Personally, knowing that WPVI-TV Philadelphia Sports Director Gary Papa lost his five year battle with this disease earlier this year, this is great news to be thankful to God for on Thanksgiving.  God is real and he answers prayers.

Thanks to my friend Izzy at Star 99.1 in New Jersey for pointing me to the link.

Jim, I hope to see you on campus soon. :0)
